ADEQ Recycling grants Due 12/01/2023

ADEQ Recycling Grants Available:

“The Recycling Grant Program is more  than just funding; it’s an opportunity for every corner of our great  state. Many Arizona communities, especially those in rural areas, have  faced barriers in accessing recycling resources. This grant demonstrates  ADEQ’s dedication to closing those gaps and ensuring everyone has  access to the tools, education and technology needed to promote a  sustainable future,” said ADEQ Cabinet Executive Officer Karen Peters.

The approximate $1 million in grant funding is available to be awarded in three main categories:

  • Waste Reduction Assistance (WRA): Funds initiatives like curbside recycling and household hazardous waste collections to majorly curb the solid waste stream.
  • Waste Reduction Initiative Through Education (WRITE): Funds  education efforts to teach Arizonans about proper disposal of solid  waste, as well as recycling campaigns and outreach programs to encourage  participation in recycling.
  • Recycling Research & Development (RR&D): Funds development of new tools, products and information to assist in  diverting material from landfills by using that material to create new  products or by improving old technologies. 

Grant application materials can be found at azdeq.gov/recyclinggrants. 

Completed applications are due by Friday, Dec. 1, 2023, 3 p.m. MST. 


“This is a golden opportunity for  political subdivisions of the State of Arizona, private enterprises,  local nonprofits and Arizona’s Tribal Governments to enhance their  recycling endeavors! We’re collectively paving a path to take the burden  off our landfills and work towards a more sustainable future,” said  ADEQ Recycling Coordinator J.B. Shaw. 

The return of the Recycling Grant  Program provides an opportunity for small communities to create and  enhance existing recycling efforts, as well as helps larger communities’  ongoing efforts to minimize landfill waste. ADEQ encourages all  organizations, counties, cities, towns, Tribal governments, nonprofit  organizations and private businesses with innovative recycling and  circular economy ideas to apply for funding.

Art Grants & Funding opportunities

Public Funding for the Arts Update: May 2023

STATE

Arizona Citizens for the Arts commends the Arizona Legislature and Governor Hobbs for renewing $5  million in funding for the Arizona Commission on the Arts in the FY24  state budget. While the arts community appreciates this investment, it  acknowledges that the needs of Arizona's creative economy surpass this  amount. This year’s appropriation is another one-time investment and  faces challenges with long-term planning and reliable commitments due to  the lack of ongoing funding. However, the Arizona Commission on the  Arts will strategically use the FY24 funds to support the artists,  community festivals, and arts organizations that significantly  contribute to the state's well-being, education, and economy.

FEDERAL

The  President has requested a budget increase for the National Endowment  for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, setting both  agencies to $211 million each for FY24. Americans for the Arts Action Fund is asking arts supporters to contact Congress to at least match the  President’s request by appropriating this increased funding for both  cultural agencies.

LOCAL

The City of Phoenix wrapped up eleven in-person budget hearings, plus one virtual hearing to gather feedback on the FY24 trial budget.  Arts advocates came out in numbers, especially to the special "arts"  budget hearing. There is an increase to the Office of Arts and Culture's  grants program in the proposed trial budget. City Council will  tentatively adopt the budget on May 31 and do a final adoption on June  14.

Arts Community Stretching Resources to Meet Growing Demand

May 2023 update

Arizona  Citizens for the Arts congratulates the Arizona Legislature and  Governor Hobbs for renewing the historic $5 million funding for the  Arizona Commission on the Arts in its FY2024 state budget. 


Last  year, the arts and culture community celebrated the $5 million  commitment as an indicator that the State was finally willing to  re-invest in the arts, after two years in a row of leaving the  Commission entirely out of the state budget. 

While we appreciate a $5 million investment, the needs of Arizona’s creative economy are much greater than that. We know that many of our allies in the Legislature recognize this and will work with us to address those needs in the future. 


Rising  costs and inflation are whittling the value of last year’s $5 million  appropriation, meaning that the same amount in FY2024 cannot provide the  same level of support. 

In  addition, the Arizona arts community is growing rapidly, reflected by a  20 percent increase in general operating and other grant applications  to the Commission in 2023. Therefore, the funding is being asked to  serve larger numbers of artists and organizations. That reduces the value of this $5 million even further. 


All  of this occurs as arts organizations continue facing challenges in the  post-pandemic environment, where audiences and patrons are not all back  and other resources from the community are uncertain. 


And,  looking at the bigger picture, the State’s investment has fallen far  below its past commitments for many years. Adjusting for population,  inflation and growth of the field, the $20 million appropriation  recommended in Governor Hobbs’ proposed budget in January is much closer  to the level of investment the State should be making in Arizona’s  creative economy. 


Meanwhile,  this year’s appropriation is another one-time investment, meaning that  the Arizona Commission on the Arts remains the only state agency that  was once funded with ongoing dollars in the General Fund, which still  has not returned to ongoing funding. The last year for ongoing funding for the arts was 2011. This makes it hard for the Commission to carry out long-term strategic  planning and attract ongoing commitments from private donors since the  State hasn’t shown an ongoing commitment to the agency itself. 


We look forward to working with the Governor’s Office and allies in the  State Legislature to address all of these issues in the 2024 legislative  session. 

Meanwhile,  we know that the Arizona Commission on the Arts will make the most  strategic use of these funds in the next year to support the work of so  many artists, community festivals and arts organizations who inspire us,  heal us, educate us as they enhance the quality of our lives and  produce an impressive return on investment in our economy.
