Public Art Funding Agreements with the Community Foundation
Ann Arbor
Summary
Staff uncovered three old funding agreements — an endowment, a pass-through fund, and the Jewett Chair project fund — that could matter for a future public art mini-grant program. The catch: the paperwork on file is from 1999, and the rules may have been updated in 2020, so everyone's still confirming what's actually usable.

Impact analysis
The endowment holds about $178,000 with roughly $5,000 (possibly $20,000 accumulated) available yearly, but none of it can fund new art until the paperwork is sorted out.
Local artists and anyone who enjoys public art, if a future mini-grant program can be funded through these mechanisms.
