Invoicing Instructions
The goal for organizations participating in OGP II is to increase sustainability, specifically an ability to strategize and implement change and/or adapt to changed circumstances. The outcome of sustainability under this grant program is to strengthen an organization’s artistic product or programs, management and organizational systems, and financial health.
Organizations that have been awarded Los Angeles County funds are required to meet all grant conditions established by the Arts Commission, as contained in the County contract, including Exhibit A. Note the following conditions as a reminder:
It is mandatory that proper sponsorship credit be given to the Los Angeles County Arts Commission in printed programs, either—
- as part of a list of supporters
- or as follows: "This (performance/exhibit/festival, etc.) is supported in part by the Los Angeles County Arts Commission."
In the event that you do not use printed programs, a public announcement must be made giving credit to the Los Angeles County Arts Commission for its support. Failure to adhere to this provision will jeopardize your eligibility to apply for future grants.
Acceptance of County funds obligates the beneficiary organization to match or surpass the County appropriation either through contributed or earned income.
The organization must file a signed Sustainability Project Report and printed program for each invoice submitted.
In accordance with Commission policy, allocated funds are payable only as specified in the organization’s contract with the County of Los Angeles.
In making a request for payment due under the contract with the County of Los Angeles, follow these instructions:
