3. Applicants must serve a defined membership or constituency that includes organizations as well as individuals. 4.

Applicants must consider constituents needs in designing services, including having both a demonstrated method of determining constituents’ needs and an evaluation process to gauge the effectiveness of services designed to address them.
6. Applicants must have received at least two OAC grants in the last four OAC fiscal years. This support must have come from an OAC funding program that evaluated and scored the application through a panel process, which include ArtSTART, ArtsNEXT, Arts Partnership, ArtsRISE, Statewide Arts Service Organization, Sustainability, and former programs that include Artists with Disabilities Access Program (for Organizations) and Arts Access.
7. Applicants must maintain an up-to-date profile in SMU/DataArts, a national initiative focused on collecting and analyzing financial and participation information from arts and cultural organizations.
