FY 2020 Proposed Budget Changes The Commission on the Arts and Humanities' (CAH) proposed FY 2020 gross budget is $34,505,733, which represents a 10.0 percent increase over its FY 2019 approved gross budget of $31,367,000. The budget is comprised of $33,499,233 in Local funds, $713,500 in Federal Grant Funds, $133,000 in Special Purpose Revenue funds, and $160,000 in Intra-District funds.
Recurring Budget The FY 2020 budget for CAH includes a reduction of $2,861,767, to account for the removal of one-time funding appropriated in FY 2019. This amount supports the agency's ability to issue more grants for performance art, art exhibition and art festivals.
Mayor’s Proposed Budget Increase/Shift: CAH's proposed Local funds budget includes an increase of $28,928,955 and 30.0 Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs), of which $28,138,233 and 27.0 FTEs are shifted from Dedicated Tax funds.
In Federal Grants funds, the agency's budget includes an increase of $713,500 and 6.0 FTEs to reflect projected revenue from a grant award.
Shift/Decrease: The proposed budget for CAH reflects a Dedicated Tax funds decrease of $28,138,233 and 27.0 FTEs due to a shift of budget authority to Local funds.
Decrease: In the proposed budget for Special Purpose Revenue funds, a decrease of $66,000 to the Arts Learning and Outreach program is the result of a projected decrease in revenue from the Lincoln Theatre and associated ticket sales. In Intra-District funds, the proposed budget for CAH reflects a decrease of $8,000 due to a reduction in projected revenues from signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs). Enhance: The proposed budget includes Local funds enhancements totaling $13,367,533 across multiple programs. Of this amount, $5,000,000 is to establish the Cultural Facilities Leverage Fund, which will fill a common financing gap in the cultural sector by supporting the capital needs of facilities that increase cultural access and diversify cultural presentation through low-cost loans. Also, an increase of $2,479,000 funds grants that will support long-standing District arts non-profits (seven years or older) and their operating expenses (e.g. exhibits, salaries, supplies). An increase of $2,000,000 will support the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Revolving Fund, which will provide affordable lines of credit to increase capacity for programmatic innovation and organizational growth in the cultural sector. An additional $1,232,000 will expand Capacity Building and Organizational Development grant programming to help small art nonprofits increase their ability to adapt to a changing marketplace, creating innovative revenue streams for long term sustainability, and to help established cultural organizations experiencing sustained financial stress. Additionally, a one-time enhancement of $1,000,000 supports the Cultural Study Abroad Program for Public School Students. An enhancement of $500,000 supports a Center for Cultural Opportunities to better link arts organizations and individuals to resources around the city and District programming through in-person and online functionalities. A one-time enhancement of $300,000 funds the development of an online portal that offers organizations and individuals wishing to hold public events access to a list of applications and timelines for complying with District regulations, depending on the type of event, and resources to navigate the regulations. A total of $500,000 establishes the Public Space Security Fund to help local non-profits and community groups offset security costs imposed by the District. Additionally, a total of $209,537 funds one position to partner with the Department of Parks and Recreation to expand arts programming in the District, particularly in Ward 7 and Ward 8, and also funds the necessary contracts to expanded arts programming. Further, $97,016 and 1.0 FTE supports costs associated with a Cultural Planner position that will partner with the Office of Planning (OP) to coordinate the implementation of the Cultural Plan and ensure culture is represented in future OP programming. Finally, an increase of $50,000 funds the DC Youth Orchestra program, which provides music instruction to District school children from K through 12 in public, charter, and private schools.
Reduce: CAH's proposed Local funds budget includes a net reduction of $8,797,275 primarily in nonpersonal services in the Arts Building Communities program due to agency cost savings.

FY 2019 and FY 2020 are pilot years for this initiative, therefore not all data are available.
