• Cultural Affairs is changing its grant period from the fiscal year (July- June) to the calendar year (January through December).
• FY 2024-25, festivals occurring between July 1 through December 31, 2024 will not be financially supported by Cultural Affairs while staff aligns the process with the new schedule. This realignment will not affect awards already approved by City Council.
• Staff have consulted with the City Attorney’s Office, City Administrators Office, Risk Management Division and the Finance Department on these planned changes.
