Grantee FAQs
Get answers to your questions as a COAHSI grantee!
1. What are my responsiblities as a COAHSI Grantee?
Grant recipients must notify COAHSI of any contact name, address or telephone
changes. Grant recipients must also credit The Council on the Arts and
Humanities for Staten Island and the funding sponsor of the grant on all
printed materials related to the funded project. Grantees must also provide
COAHSI with a timeline for their program's implementation since funded
programs are subject to an independent auditor's review to ensure that
the funded project fulfills the spirit and intent of the grant.
Grantees
are also required to submit a final report no later than 30 days after
the completion of the project. Failure to submit a final report will jeopardize
future funding requests.
2. Where can I find the Final Report? When is it Due?
The Final Report can be found online where you applied for the grant. Login to the grants system and you will see the Final Report Form on the same page as your application. You will be required to fill in a few narrative questions, and then you will have to scan and upload copies of any receipts related to the grant award. In other words, if you received $3000 for a grant, you need to show what you bought or paid for with that $3000 and then you must have receipts or records to prove that. The Final Report is due 30 days after you finish the project, or by December 31st.
3. Will COAHSI help me publicize my events?
Yes, COAHSI will post your events on our "E-Calendar" email blast that goes out weekly to our email list. In order to get your event listed, please add your events to our cultural calendar page.
4. What is the proper credit line for my project when I do publicity?
The credit line is REQUIRED on all publicity related to your grant project. Please see the following grants to find your credit line:

5. Do you have logos I can use for funding credit on my grant materials?
Of course we do! Just choose the logo you need: DCA | NYSCA | JPMORGAN | COAHSI
6. Can I apply
for multiple grants?
Yes, it is possible to apply for multiple grants if the grant guidelines
allow it. However, since the grant program is a competitive process and
not all requests can be funded, applicants are encouraged to select the
grant which best suits their needs and submit a complete and well-thought-through
application only in that respective program. Please contact COAHSI if you have any questions about eligibility requirements or guidelines
for specific grants.
