Just over 700/0 of the CCC <br />General Fund dollars result in grants to local public and non-profit groups. No grant <br />may represent more than 20% of the total agency budget, however for many local <br />groups there are few other sources of funding for cultural events. A portion of the <br />remaining 30% has helped provide seed money for such activities as the Carrington <br />Hall Renovation, Hometown Holidays and the Latino Film Festival. <br /> <br />Civic Cultural Commission <br />General Fund <br />Sponsorship <br />Total Funding <br /> <br />03-04 <br />69,915 <br />6,800 <br />76,715 <br /> <br />04-05 <br />64,455 <br />9,750 <br />74,205 <br /> <br />05-06 <br />66,066 <br />10,500 <br />76,566 <br /> <br />06-07 <br />67,387 <br />11,500 <br />78,887 <br /> <br />07 -08 <br />66,066 <br />12,500 <br />78,566 <br /> <br />08-09 <br />67,387 <br />12,500 <br />79,887 <br /> <br />Commissioners first sought outside funding sponsors in 1994-95 with a request for <br />support of the Summer Concert Series to the Port of Redwood City. That partnership <br />with the Port continues to this day with their contribution of $7,500 in 2008-09. With <br />costs ever rising, the Commission solicited additional sponsors, which resulted in an <br />additional $5,000 in FY 07-08 and FY 08-09. Given the current economic conditions, <br />the Commission was pleased that sponsorships did not decrease. $800 was collected <br />over one summer via a donation bucket at the concert series behind City Hall and at <br />Stafford Park. The funding allowed the addition of another downtown concert to that <br />year's series. <br /> <br />3 <br />
