Funds are requested to design and print full color posters. c $1,000 Facility Updates: o Carmel's "World's Smallest Gallery" needs facility upgrades to keep it viable, welcoming, and safe for artists and visitors throughout the year. This includes carpeting, fresh paint, plasterwork, and window glass replacement. This beautiful 2 room space provided by the Carmel Redevelopment Commission and is operated by CAC volunteers. o $3,000 CCS Art Teacher Support: o Carmel Clay Schools' art teachers are the primary source for children's art to display in the CAC gallery.

Our records. indicate that a determination letterissued in September 1987 granted your organization exemption from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the internal Revenue Code. That letter is sWI in effect. Based on information subsequently submitted, we classified your organization as one that is not a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the Code because it is an organization described in sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi). This classification was based on the assumption that your organization's operations would continue as stated iin the application. If your organizaiion's sources of support, or its character, method of operations, or purposes have changed, please let us know so we can consider the effect of the change on the exempt status and foundation status of your organization. Your organization is required to file Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, only if its gross receipts each year are normally more than $25,000. If a return is required, it must be filed by the 15th day of the fifth month after the end of the organization's annual accounting period. The law imposes a penalty of $20 a clay, lap to a maximum of $10,000, when a return is filed late, unless there its reasonable cause for the delay. All exempt organizations (unless specifically excluded) are liable for taxes under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (social security taxes) on remuneration of $100 or more paid to each employee during a calendar year. Your organization is not liable for the tax imposed under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act FUTA). Organizations that are not private foundations are not subject to the excise taxes under Chapter 42 of the Code. However, these organizations are not automatically exempt from other federal excise taxes. Donors may deduct contributions to your organization as provided in section 170 of the Code. Bequests, legacies, devises, transfers, or gifts to your organization or for its use are deductible for federal estate and gift tax purposes if they meet the applicable provisions -of sections 2055, 2106, and 2522 of the Code.

Because of the grant, we were able to extend our new program, Art in the Garden, by one month earlier and one month later in the season, drawing in several community members to watch local artists at work in our garden. We were able to purchase a limited amount of supplies for the children's table in order for them to work side by side with the artists. We were able to use another portion of the grant for promotional materials and advertising, letting the community know about our summer programming, then enjoying substantial crowds at both our World's Smallest Children's Gallery and our Art in the Garden programs monthly. We were ready to purchase a new 31) display case for our gallery with the remaining grant funds, but discovered our gallery signage had become weather -worn and dangerously close to falling on a pedestrian, so we purchased a new sign for the gallery. Hopefully THIS year's grant will allow for our new case in which to display our local students' 31) artwork. We look forward to another year of continued programming, gallery exhibitions of local students, and educational support provided by our Arts Council. We feel we are an integral, as well as unique, part of the art community in Carmel. The City grant afforded us the luxury of maintaining our mission of supporting local artists and art students, granting our annual scholarships, and keeping our organization's mission in the public eye.
