General Operating Support: PrinciplesThe Arizona Commission on the Arts’ strategic plan recognizes that people in Arizona should have opportunities to broaden, deepen and diversify their participation in the arts. General Operating Support helps the Commission meet its goals by ensuring that quality public arts programs are provided by arts organizations throughout the state. Recognizing that healthy arts organizations are those that balance three intrinsically-linked issues – artistry, organizational capacity, and public benefit – the Commission offers arts organizations an array of resources and tools. In addition to General Operating Support, the Commission provides technical assistance, information and referral, staff assistance, conferences, workshops, and on-site consultations. General Operating Support Grants contribute to the health of the non-profit arts industry in Arizona, giving arts organizations the capacity to attract qualified full-time staff, allowing boards of directors to focus on governance, policy and mission. These grants also provide significant investment in Arizona's economy, providing essential support for arts organizations which employ hundreds of people, purchase goods and services and make our communities more vital and livable. General Operating Support (GOS) Grants assist arts organizations with administrative and/or artistic expenses. General Operating Support Grants are available to all sizes of arts organizations, local arts agencies and tribal museums whose primary mission is to produce, present or serve the arts. These organizations may use these funds for general operating expenses (frequently the most difficult type of grant to obtain) as well as leverage for other funding.
