2.

3. Be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code for at least 36 months prior to the submission of the application and have completed at least 36 months of operations presenting visual or performing arts programs to the public in Miami-Dade County.

5. Request funding for a program that reflects the organization's primary mission and will take place in MiamiDade County during the FAN funding cycle, between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023 .
6. May not be a student visual or performing arts organization below the graduate level.
7. The program may not consist primarily of non-professional artists or performers.
8. The Applicant may not illegally limit participation in the proposed project/program, or any other of its programs or activities, on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, veteran status, disability, marital status, sexual orientation or gender identification.

Special Considerations:
- If the applicant is an identifiable component of an umbrella organization (e.g. university, cultural organization), the umbrella organization may not also be an applicant in this grant cycle.
- If the program is a collaborative effort among two or more organizations, the lead organization must submit the application, meet the eligibility requirements and be the funding recipient.
- FAN will not fund any production/exhibit that has been presented by the applicant organization in Miami-Dade within 5 years prior to the current FAN funding cycle unless the program is substantially different from prior presentations.
- If the proposed program begins before or extends beyond the funding period of July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023, only that portion that occurs during the funding period will be funded.
