If your agency operates independently of this project application it may not be necessary <br />to submit the entire agency budget. You must submit a budget which specifically pertains to the project/event for which you are <br />requesting funding and adheres to the basic budget format shown below. <br />The budget must include anticipated revenues, expenditures, and any potential profit or loss. For projects/events which are ongoing for <br />more than one (1) year, please also submit actuals from the previous three (3) years of operations (need not be consecutive) for the <br />project/proposal if applicable. <br />For any claimed in-kind contributions valued at $500 or more and related to marketing/advertising, you must submit verifying <br />documentation which assures the contribution will be provided. For instance, if you are claiming in-kind contributions in the form of <br />advertising match, a binding contract itemizing the matching value and obligating each party must be provided. <br />Response 7.9: What methodology will you use to calculate the upcoming numbers?* <br />Direct Count (preferred) <br />Indirect Count <br />Representative Survey <br />Informal Survey (preferred) <br />Structured Estimate <br />Other <br />Response 7.10: Please explain your methodology.* <br />Please explain. <br />We do a direct headcount as folks enter our space. To determine where visitors are from and if they are staying over, we use an <br />informal survey in the form of a sign-in sheet. Unfortunately, we are not able to capture zip code and lodging information from <br />every visitor, which means that our total visitor numbers are very accurate, but the "out-of-county" and "out-of-state" numbers <br />are likely much greater than we are reporting. Same would apply to hotel stays. <br />2500 character limit <br />Application Questions: Part 5 <br />Yes <br />No <br />We apply to grants throughout the year as they come available. Without a 501(c)3 status, these opportunities are limited and we <br />have not yet secured additional grant funding for 2026. However, we have been working to increase donor funding and <br />sponsorships with last year ’s efforts supporting essential expenses such as rent and utilities. <br />2500 character limit <br />If PUNCH Projects receives no support through the Lodging Tax Fund it will not impact our ability to continue operating. We will <br />still be able to present exhibitions and host a limited number of performances. Without Lodging Tax funding, however, our ability <br />to grow our audience through out-of-county marketing will be limited as will our ability to feature performers and presenters. <br />Since we notice significantly increased attendance on days when musicians perform, we expect that reducing the number of <br />performers with also reduce the number of attendees. With a limited marketing/promotions budget, we will forgo any <br />professional marketing design and advisement and restrict our advertising to mostly un-boosted social media posts. Our <br />audience will remain mostly local. <br />2500 character limit. <br />231.33 <br />This field will auto fill with the correct percentage based on your input to budget section below.
