Performing Arts Equitable Payroll Fund Program
Launching in 2025, the fund will support small nonprofit performing arts organizations (SNPAOs) in hiring and retaining employees.
What is the Performing Arts Equitable Payroll Fund Program?
Senate Bill 1116 (Government Code 8757) established the Performing Arts Equitable Payroll Fund (Program) to support small nonprofit performing arts organizations (SNPAOs) with adjusted gross revenue* under $2 million, in hiring and retaining employees. The Fund reimburses a portion of their payroll cost.
*(excluding donor designated funds for capital expenditures or pass-through funds)
Example of SNPAOs can include:
- Nonprofit theater companies
- Nonprofit dance companies
- Nonprofit choral groups
- Nonprofit presenting organizations
- Nonprofit performance venues
- Local arts councils (that actually present or produce performances)
The program will be administered by CalOSBA in partnership with California for the Arts.
