2025 Arts Thrive Grow Report

Quick Guide for Completing Your Arts Thrive and Grow Report

Deadline: January 30, 2026

Before you fill out your report, here are a few helpful things to keep in mind:

1. Know Your Grant Type

•  If you received an individual artist grant, it’s completely fine to list “0” for youth, audience, or community engagement if those were not part of your project.
   
•  Community-based grants should reflect who benefited—estimate if exact counts aren't possible.
   

2. Whole Numbers Only

•  For questions like:
   
  •  Number of Artists Participating
     
  •  Number of Youth Benefiting
     
  •  Number of Individuals Benefiting
    Enter whole numbers only, no commas or decimals.
     

   

3. It’s Okay to Say “None”

•  If a category doesn’t apply to your project, just put “0.”
  This won’t negatively affect your report—it just helps us understand the impact clearly.
   

4. Be Honest About Changes

•  If your project changed from the original plan or budget, that’s okay—just explain briefly in the space provided.
   

5. Final Tips

•  Make sure your organization or artist name matches what we have on file.
   
•  Be sure to use your current address and double-check your NYS Senate and Assembly Districts using the links in the form.

5. Images + Documents

•  You are not required to upload images, video files, or sound files as part of your report.
