Amount of request: Festival applicants do not make specific funding requests. Organizations supported through this grant category will receive $1,200, subject to allocation of funds by the Phoenix City Council.

For example, if your project has a total budget of $2,000, you will need to raise $1,000 to match a grant of $1,000. Matching Funds do not need to be in hand at the time of application, but your grant application needs to provide specific information as to where the matching funds will come from.
