Funds support creative public activities for the city and its tourists through community-centered arts activities and collaboration. It offers $5000 for eligible artists, creative businesses, and non-profits.  \nThis guide is here to help walk you through both the application content. Please see the complete Nexus  Grant Guidelines and Additional Program Details produced by the City’s Cultural Arts Division for a more detailed information on eligibility requirements, review processes, and allowable grant activities.  \nThe Economic Development Department has also brought on the organization Almost Real Things as a Community Amplifier for the Nexus grant. They are an excellent resource for grant writing support and application training.  \nBefore You Apply – FAQ  \nI want to make sure Nexus is the right grant for me  \nWhen applying to a grant, it is important to think about the size of your activity or organization, what arts industry you are in, the timing of your activity, and whether that timing fits within a specific grant window.  \nWhile you are allowed to apply for multiple grants, keep in mind that you can only be awarded once per year from any of the collective HOT grants. We encourage people to apply for the grant that suits them the best.  \nI want to use a Fiscal Sponsor, what should I do?  \nBefore you begin the application process, please read this Guide to Fiscal Sponsorship. Your relationship with your Fiscal Sponsor must be in place before you begin the application process. This is for two reasons:  \nthe fiscal sponsor must be account holder in Submittable, and you must submit a signed Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement with your application.  \nWho should create my Submittable Account?  \nOur Guide to Account Holders vs Collaborators breaks down exactly who can and should be the account holder in Submittable, and who should be brought in as a collaborator. See Submittable’s Guide to Inviting  Collaborators for a full tutorial on the process!  \nI’m an Individual Artist. Before I start my application, I’m being asked to enter an  \nEIN. What should I do?  \nSubmittable gives the option for organizations with an Employee Identification Number (EIN) to enter it before they begin their application. This allows Submittable to verify the organization is who they claim tobe. However, this is not a required step! If you do not have an EIN, you can easily choose to skip straight to the application.  \n2   \nNexus Eligibility Quiz  \nBelow is a copy of the Nexus Eligibility Quiz. This helps the City double-check that you fit all of the eligibility requirements of the Nexus Grant before you begin an application. Once you complete the quiz, if you are eligible, you will be taken directly to the application page. If you are ineligible, you will be prevented from moving on to the application.  \nIf you receive an ineligible message and think you filled out the form incorrectly, you can simply go back to the home page and try again. If you have any questions about how to fill out this quiz that are not answered by the Nexus Program Guidelines, please email [culturalarts@austintexas.go](culturalarts@austintexas.gov)[v](culturalarts@austintexas.gov).  \nDo you have “Delinquent Status” with the City ","cbCaimzYjJN81wdZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimzYjJN81wdZ","pdf",375313,13,"English","# Before You Apply – FAQ\n## I want to make sure Nexus is the right grant for me\n## I want to use a Fiscal Sponsor, what should I do?\n## Who should create my Submittable Account?\n## I’m an Individual Artist.
