Norman, OK—The Norman Arts Council will hold a grant-writing workshop on October 2 from 3 to 5 p.m. at the regularly scheduled Roundtable meeting at the Norman Chamber of Commerce, located at 115 E. Gray. The workshop is entitled “How to Submit a Grant to the NAC.” Since its inception, the NAC has granted almost $2 million to a wide range of arts and humanities projects in Norman.

This is the 27th year for the NAC to accept proposals for projects that are specifically designed to appeal to Norman residents and visitors. The organizations making successful proposals will be awarded grants of up to $15,000 from the Norman Arts Council. The NAC awards panel will select for funding those projects that fulfill the selection guidelines.

Applicants must be incorporated as non-profit tax exempt 501c3 organizations, or have incorporated and applied for 501c3 status prior to the date their grant application is submitted. All applicant organizations must be located in Norman, Oklahoma and all projects must occur in ADA compliant spaces. The awarded funding will go to projects occurring July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008.

Selection guidelines and application forms will be available at the workshop. Interested organizations should call (405) 360-1162 for reservations due to limited seating. Applications will also be available from the Norman Arts Council office, located at 220 E. Main. The deadline for grant applications is January 19, 2007.
