Budgets
  • For information on prior grantees, please see the Erie County Adopted Budgets, Book A under the Department of Environment & Planning section.
  • The only way to find out if your organization has been awarded funding for a certain year  is through the Erie County Budget process. The Budget Books are available here: http://www2.erie.gov/budget/index.php?q=county-budget. The Proposed Budget ("Draft") is provided by the County Executive in the fall and the Adopted Budget ("Final") is approved by the Legislature in December. Arts & Cultural Funding is located under Budget Book A: Operating Funds, under Erie County Department of Environment and Planning.
