Statewide — Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch today announced 479 organizations will receive almost $10 million through the Arts, Cultural, and Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) grant program. This initiative is made possible through a partnership between the Indiana Destination Development Corporation (IDDC) and the Indiana Arts Commission (IAC), providing operational support to local organizations whose operations were disrupted by COVID-19.
Award amounts were determined by a formula that included factors for budget size, previous amounts of CARES Act funding received, and the amount of eligible expenses, resulting in an equitable distribution to organizations in all areas of the state. Each grantee will be responsible for documenting the use of all distributed funds.
Several Southeastern Indiana organizations will receive money from this grant. They include:
