or employees of City. Grantee shall have the responsibility for and control over the means
of performing the Approved Uses, provided that Grantee is in compliance with the terms

the results of the Approved Uses.

Year organization was founded 1952 Number of paid staff 0 # of active volunteers 150
Total amount requested: (from request line of project budget) S 2,000
Estimated number of people in Newport Beach that the proposed project(s) will serve: 1,000+
CULTURAL ARTS GRANT APPLICATION
1. Briefly describe below your organization's purpose, mission, and goals.
2.
Purpose: To continue to promote cultural activities and musical appreciation on Balboa Island by
presenting live, classical musical concerts throughout the year. These concerts will be held at St.
John Vianney Chapel at 314 Marine, Balboa Island. These presentations provide citizens with the
low cost, quality performances. In addition the BIIA offers free Summer Concerts at Balboa Park,
across from Beek Center on Agate. Both venues provide an outreach to all citizens residing within
Newport Beach, as well as for visitors to the area.
2. Mission: The mission of the Balboa Island Improvement Association (BIIA) arts campaign is to
promote a sense of community while enhancing the island's beauty, safety, livability and
preserving its unique culture.
3. Goals: BIIA's goals for 2018-2019 is to continue to showcase the cultural tradition of the
community by producing world-class musical performances performed by regional, classical
musicians, as well as, offering free summer concerts. The summertime venue continues to offer
popular, contemporary entertainment in the community setting of Balboa Park, located on Agate,
adjacent to Beek Center. Since the BRA is a non-profit organization, the goal is not fundraising,
but to produce high quality performances and a variety of musical entertainment for the residents
of Balboa Island, Newport Beach and visitors alike.
A. Identify and describe why there is a need in the Newport Beach Community for your proposed
project/program.
The Organization provides high quality, professional concerts that are affordable and/or free, thus
providing a live, musical experience for the general public and for some who may otherwise not have this
opportunity. The local location only enhances the opportunity for family attendance and for the elderly.
B. Describe how you have determined that your organization is the best organization for the proposed
project/program.
This is the fourth year of outstanding perforin aces. In addition, the positive, immediate verbal feed -back
from attendees indicate the appreciation and need for this local program and project to continue. Also we
continue to have the support of the local merchants who help sponsor these programs by allowing
promotional materials in their stores and provide a means of ticket sales. The fact that the project is all
volunteer, emphasizes the sense of community involvement.
3. Describe the sMific project/program that will be funded by a cultural grant.
Moving forward, we would like to continue to provide another series of concerts and continue to promote
and enhance community togetherness and appreciation of the arts.
The below table is from the 2017-2018 performances: please note due to St. John Vianney's Chapel
being retrofitted for earthquake construction in the first part of 2018, the number of performances was
limited. The Chapel maximum is 172. The park attendance is an estimate as concert is free.

Concerts for the 2019/2020 season are to be determined. It is anticipated that a minimum of (4) Classical
and (4) Summer concerts will be programmed.
These concerts are NOT fundraising events. They are purely to promote the music, arts and culture within
Newport Beach. The classical concert ticket price is generally $10 per person. The summer concerts are
free. All ticket monies go to compensate the musicians and to offset the project/program costs for piano
rental and promotional materials. To offset these costs we are requesting an increase of grant funds to
$2,000. Although we are appreciative of the previous $1,000 grant, the project clearly requires additional
underwriting to continue the program including piano moving / marketing material expenses .
Is this a new or existing X project/program?
4. Define or describe the segment of the population in Newport Beach that you intend to serve by your
project/program. Include such things as age, location, numbers served, etc.
We will continue to serve ALL members of our community, young and young at heart living on Balboa
Island, Newport Beach and the surrounding communities. Although the concerts are often attended by
repeat audiences, we know that a significant number are new to each performance, thereby increasing the
outreach to close to 1,000 people.
5. Complete the project budget form. Address only the budget for the specific project, not your annual
operating budget. For multi -project proposals, please duplicate and fill out a budget for each project.
Please annotate the budget at the bottom if there are details (such as a breakdown of personnel or a
marketing budget) critical to the proposal.

6. Describe the expected quantifiable outcomes of your project/program and how you will evaluate the
results. Be very specific in addressing the ways that you will determine that your project/program met
the needs that you identified and accomplishes the goals you set out to achieve (i.e. you provide 50
hours of musical instruction and instruments to the 100 children at Newport Elementary school as
measured by music store rental receipts and logs of instructors.)
The Classical Concerts and Free Summer Concerts bring the community together. The success of this is
measured by the repeat patronage. The continued support of the Monsignor and St. John Vianney's
Chapel is testimony to the acceptance of these events within the religious as well as non -religious
community.
In addition, we have received local merchant feedback as to the increase in business on Balboa Island, for
dining and shopping. The concerts are providing an economic benefit not only to the merchants but to the
city of Newport Beach, which is another quantifiable outcome,
7. Attachments Requested
Please do not send material in excess of what is requested; it will not be seen by the Arts Commission.
• A list of Board Members and their affiliations
• A recent list of individuals, corporations and foundations that provide organizational support- not
to exceed one page.
• If you are a 501(c) (3) organization attach a copy of your IRS determination letter (or your fiscal
agent's) indicating tax exempt status.
• One brochure and/or one press clipping. Do not send photos, videos, CDs or any other extraneous
material. It will not be presented to the Arts Commission.
8. Please complete this operating budget form for 2018/19 and 2019/20. This is not the
project/program budget for which you are applying, but your overall organizational budget.
