As a newly designated non-profit, thanks to the help of the Capacity Building funding from last year's

It is important that NCAN start reviewing options for future funding within the 4th quarter of the current
year to learn funding patterns for the following fiscal year. Even if implementation cannot take place until
2023, at least the research from 2021 & 2022 will position NCAN to determine additional future financial
stability to balance the previous reliance on grant funding only.
Amount Requested:*
This is the amount your organization is requesting from the City of Carlsbad's Cultural Arts Grants. Please note that
the maximum funding amount request is $5,000 for Capacity Building Projects.

Organization Changes/Challenges/Circumstances:
What special circumstances, challenges or changes have caused your organization to focus on management and/or
organizational issues at this time?
One big change we can proudly report is that North County Arts Network successfully pursued and
obtained non-profit corporate status this past year (with the support from the Carlsbad Arts Grant) and now
it is time to build on that foundation.
Organization Capacity:
How will this project improve your organization's capacity to meet its goals and advance its mission?
The more NCAN can diversify it's funding and create a sustainable financial foundation, the more NCAN
can do for our members and associates. Our job is to advance the arts in North County, to provide resources
for and collaboration among our members. Now that we have achieved non-profit status, we have a
responsibility to the community we serve to create a support system for the arts in the region. We first have
to create a support system for our organization to maintain financial health. We turn to the Carlsbad Arts
Grant to fund our feasibility study, as we are named in the Carlsbad Cultural Arts Master Plan - Business

Previous Projects:

2019 - NCAN wanted to explore membership models, how and who to serve as our community, and
whether or not to pursue 501c3 status. We held a Strategic Planning retreat, formed committees to execute
these explorations. While we did not come to a final determination of the membership model, we did
determine who we serve and that 501c3 incorporation would help further our mission.
2020 - NCAN pursued & Filed for 501c3 status. We formed a board, elected an executive committee,
created bylaws, filed for and was awarded 501c3 status.
