The templates in the above buttons are all associated with the Illinois Arts Council’s General Operating Support application.
- Accessibility Self-Assessment Checklist: The Accessibility Checklist is intended as a self-assessment tool to encourage organizations to continue thinking about how to expand their accessibility. The checklist is required for an application to be considered complete, but the answers are not evaluated as part of the review process.
- Financial Form: The Financial Form is a required document for organizations that do not have a mission dedicated to the arts in Illinois. This document is also required for all colleges and universities. Please complete this form with financial information from your most recently completed fiscal year that you have closed book financials. The fiscal year on this form should match the fiscal year from the uploaded 990.
If your organization does have a mission dedicated to the arts in Illinois, you will only be uploading a 990 and do not need this template.
- Board & Staff List: The Board & Staff Listing is a required supporting document. Use of this template is optional and is intended as a resource. If your organization already has a current prepared board and staff listing, that may be submitted.
