Dear Tier III Organizations,

As we move into 2021, SCFD’s goal is to continue to support you to the best of our ability while staying true to our governing state statute to provide funding to “enlighten and entertain the public.” We will be sending updates regularly to keep you up-to-date with what you need to know and what you need to do.

Public Safety
Information regarding public safety is changing on a week-by-week and sometimes day-by-day basis. SCFD will continue to monitor the situation and will attempt to make decisions that are fair and equitable to organizations following state and county mandates.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Funds received in October 2020 can be used through December 2021.

  • General Operating Support
  • These funds can be used in the manner that best serves the organization and your patrons. You can literally use the funds to 'keep the lights on.'
  • NOTE: GOS funds can not be used for the following:
  • regranting
  • land/capital acquisitions or improvements
  • to pay down debt
  • additional exclusions here
  • Project Support
  • You have until December 31, 2021 to complete funded projects and programs. We encourage organizations to continue to engage and enlighten the residents of the district as best you can, while following current local and state public safety guidelines and mandates.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

  • ORGANIZATIONAL STATUS UPDATES
  • In lieu of grant amendments (formerly known as change requests) SCFD will be requiring organizations to submit status updates online for the 2021 program cycle (i.e. for the funding you just received that can be used until December 2021).
  • These organizational status updates will be due as follows:
  1. December 31, 2020
  2. April 30, 2021
  3. August 31, 2021
  4. December 31, 2021
  • The organizational status update form will be live on 12.09.2020. More information including a link to access the form will be included in the next update.

Next Update: December 2020

Sincerely,
