Ethnic Community Event Funds
IMAA is providing financial support for ethnic community events that celebrate the diversity of our community and bring people from different cultural backgrounds together. Our organization has always been and will continue to be about building bridges between cultures. Therefore, the purpose of the funds are to support other groups who are doing the same thing.
Events to be supported with these funds must fall under one or more of the following categories:
- Events that help preserve traditional culture, customs, or art.
- Events that recognize community members for achievement, community involvement, or setting examples of good citizenship.
- Events that celebrate cultural holidays as a community.
- Events that promote unity among cultures.
Events not supported with these funds include:
- Events that are fundraisers.
- Events that require paid admission.
- Events that take place outside of Olmsted County.
- Events that potentially work against the stated purpose of the funds.
