Detail Field Name Detail Field Data Sponsor Website http://www.apap365.org/KNOWLEDGE/GrantPrograms/Pages/BuildingBridges.aspx Program URL http://www.apap365.org/KNOWLEDGE/Seminars/Documents/Building_Bridges_Guidelines_Final.pdf Deadline Dates (ALL) 24-Apr-2013 Synopsis The Association of Performing Arts Presenters (APAP) announces the Building Bridges: Campus Community Engagement grants program which supports U.S.-based performing arts presenting organizations interested in building interdisciplinary cross-campus and community collaborations that expand awareness, knowledge and understanding of Muslim societies. Objectives Grantees are expected to plan and maximize resources collaboratively with campus-based and external community partners in order to engage targeted populations – with a primary focus on young people born after 1980 (the “millennial” population). Funds will be used to support projects that are designed to meet the following major goals: 1. Develop and apply campus-based arts-integrated, interdisciplinary and innovative community engagement strategies and resources for specific audiences (including the millennial population of 18-30 year-olds); 2. Develop dynamic initiatives that present contemporary Muslim cultures from abroad or from the various American Muslim communities in the United States through thoughtfully crafted projects; 3. Demonstrate discernible change in knowledge and attitudes about contemporary Muslim culture in communities where there has been limited exposure or where opportunities exist to strengthen and expand existing partnerships and resources; 4. Document, define, and diffuse “best practice,” strategies, and resources that meet the above goals (i.e. to increase exposure and change knowledge and attitudes about contemporary Muslim culture through campus-based interdisciplinary and innovative community engagement strategies with the artist at the center of this process). Eligibility Applicants are not required to be current APAP members, but any applicants invited to submit a full application in Round II must become an APAP member. Applicants must be designated as the performing arts presenting organization or presenter for the college or university. Performing Arts Presenter is defined by the sponsor as: Arts presenters form a sector of the performing arts field comprised of a variety of sizes, functions, configurations and artistic and curatorial interests – all of which share the mission of providing opportunities for artists and audiences to share the performing arts through performances, commissioning projects, and education initiatives. For the purpose of this grants program, Arts presenters are expected to develop and implement interdisciplinary partnerships between artists, campus and community partners to create audience engagement opportunities that build knowledge and informed attitudes about contemporary Muslim societies. Although the presenting organization applicant does not need to be physically based on a college or university campus, it must have a formal arrangement with a college or university to provide performing arts programming for the campus. Applications from a consortium of arts presenting organizations will be considered. Funding In December 2013 APAP will administer up to eight grants of $100,000-200,000 each for projects up to two-year's in duration. The guideline for budgeting indirect costs is 12% of all the direct costs of the funded project, whether the direct costs are incurred by the grantee or by a subcontractor of the grantee.
