A single event. 

General Programming Support (GPS)

Funding is for any applicant, regardless of the intent of its charter, to offset the expense of presenting major, on-going arts programs. These programs should have their own mission and goals and contain multiple events or activities. These activities could include a series of concerts, history lecture or other multiple events throughout the year and is distinguished from Special Projects by having multiple events rather than a single activity within a calendar year.

This funding is for applicants whose charter is primarily arts or history related.
