State-Local Partner Mentorship

The CAC expects that an active SLP will be established in the identified county within 2-3 years, either as a unit of County government or an independent 501(c)(3), and that the SLP-M will mentor them through their first two years of arts programming and services, after which the mentee organization could qualify for an SLP grant independently. SLP-M grantees may reapply for 2nd and 3rd year funding through this program in order to fully implement this work. Program Goals Grantees will be required to accomplish the following within the Grant Activity Period: Convene a standing committee of community members and stakeholders to support development of new SLP structure and strategic framework. Model equity practices and principles in the development of new SLP mission, vision, programming, and services. Identify and retain a dedicated staff member to lead new SLP and provide mentorship to that individual. Identify and maintain an accessible public office space for the new SLP. Create and implement a realistic operating budget for new SLP. Supply anticipated outcomes for a one-year grant and outline any next steps anticipated to occur beyond the grant activity period to fulfill the goals of the grant program. All activities to be funded by the CAC must occur within the one-year Grant Activity Period (see Timeline in the grant guidelines). Consult/convene with CAC and other SLP-M grantees around best practices, if applicable.
