The Manitou Arts, Culture, and Heritage Board is accepting application for awards and grants through Friday, Dec. 31.
The board will discuss and assess the applications, then make recommendations to City Council. The MACH initiative increased the city’s use tax rate and sales tax rate by 3/10ths of 1 percent.
The proceeds will be split, with 66 percent allocated for facility improvements and operations at the Carnegie Library Building, Manitou Art Center, Manitou Springs Heritage Center, Miramont Castle and Hiawatha Gardens.
City Council will distribute the remaining 34 percent of the proceeds through awards and grants.
Applicants are invited to attend a training session, scheduled for 10:30 a.m.-noon Wednesday, Nov. 17, in the MAC classroom, 513 Manitou Ave. An online session will take place Saturday, Nov. 20, during the same hours; another in-person session is scheduled for 6-7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 9.
