Eligible Expenses Include (but are not limited to):
May only be spent on programs or activities that promote, preserve or provide access to arts, arts education, and Minnesota’s history and cultural heritage.

Library Reimbursement:
Libraries must pay their costs up front and then apply for reimbursement. Conditions that must be met for reimbursement can be found here. Being aware at the start of your project of the information you will need for a complete final report will make this easier.
