Explanation * If not, why not? We will be able to allocate a small amount of our operating budget to support the event, and are exploring the possibility of additional funding through the Washington State Arts Commission and Humanities Washington. The Ellensburg Arts Commission does not serve the area of the county in which we're looking at running our event (Kittitas). It does not appear that the City of Kittitas has any relevant grant opportunities, though the City Council is currently expressing broad support of our proposed use of Palmiero Park with no currently projected cost on our part. Arts and humanities funding is extremely difficult to both find and secure, particularly for small organizations like ours; being headquartered in central Washington and providing services throughout the Pacific Northwest does allow us to positively impact a lot of communities region -wide, but only in a limited basis as we do not have any satellite offices in other places with which we could make a stronger case for larger arts and humanities grants. While we will be actively fundraising for the next year to help make up any differences in our budget, the LTAC grant is our best hope of being able to make a great impression with a well -organized, well -funded first-year event which can continue and grow year-to-year. 2500 character lirrit Funding Shortfalls* What changes would occur if the project couldn't be funded? Funding shortfalls would result in significantly scaling back the entertainers, performers and programming which are so vital to an event being able to draw significant crowds and travelers, up to (and including) possibly scaling the event back to a single day. Doing the event as a single day would further reduce vendors' and entertainers' willingness to make the trip for the event, as well as impact how many travelers could be expected to make a significant drive. This would set the wrong tone for going forward with an annual event, and naturally result in the loss of anticipated overnight stays and county revenue. 2500 character limit.
