Definitions for this application:
Theater is defined as a structure that contains rows of permanent seating before a stage area where a performance is given to an audience.
Event is used to denote an entire production, ie. the entire run of the Nutcracker.
Show is used to denote one performance of the event, ie. the Saturday matinee of the Nutcracker.
Payment Procedure:
Fill out the Post-Production Worksheet only after the completion of an event for which you received a grant award. We do ask that you return this request within three months of the event. If you need more time, please contact us at 208-345-5225 or grants@morrisonendowment.org. Be aware, we may not reimburse all expenses related to your event.
Following a MCEF staff review of this worksheet, a check will be issued by the Morrison Center Endowment Foundation to your organization.
Information about Worksheet Attachments:
1. Event Invoice Summary. Attach a summarized list of vendors and a total of every invoice you wish to have reimbursed then put the total amount of the reimbursement requested at the bottom. You only need to list vendors that qualify for reimbursement. See the example below. You can create this in a spreadsheet or word processing format.
theater $30,000
guest performer 1-name $5,700
guest performer 2-name $4,650
costume creation-name $1,000
program printer-name $500

Total to be reimbursed $42,850
2. Individual Invoices. Attach scanned copies of all invoices that you wish to have reimbursed that coincide with your list above. Add as many attachments as you need.
3. Event Attendance. To determine the effectiveness of our grant we track attendance data for each event we fund. A ticketing summary from the venue or your ticketing program can be attached, if that is available. If the event had some shows that charge admission and some free shows, we will need a breakdown of how many shows were free and how many charged admissions with a separate body count for each type of show. We will be asking for the following information.
· Number of seats available in the theater.
· Number of shows that charged admission.
· Number of shows that were free.
· Number of tickets comped (a free show will be equal to the show’s attendance).
· Number of tickets sold (for shows that charged admission).
4. Event Collateral. Attach an example of your event collateral (e.g., program or event t-shirt) that acknowledges MCEF. One example is fine.
5. Event Images. Optional. You may add images of your event at the end of this worksheet. If you do, please limit this to 2 of your best photos as our form program limits attachment size.
