She said these funds are distributed for arts <br /> 10 projects in all arts disciplines. She said each grant recipient must match the granted amount at <br /> 11 least dollar for dollar in order to receive funding. She said the $30,878 in State Grassroots <br /> 12 Program funds awarded to the Arts Commission in FY2015-16, for Arts Commission purposes, <br /> 13 and for granting to outside nonprofit agencies sponsoring arts projects, represents a pass <br /> 14 through of State funds.
