FAVA Chile, a private and non-profit entity, was created in 2012 thanks to a group of professionals who 
proposed the mission of developing, managing and accelerating education, philanthropy, heritage and 
collecting in support and benefit of the visual arts of the country. ​East​ ​effort ​was made by the hand of a 
group of employers who decided to support financially this capital of thought, thus achieving an associativity 
between FAVA and people and / or companies interested in culture and its development. 
On July 4, 2014, with resolution number 2601 folio 120, FAVA is authorized by the Private Donations 
Qualifying Committee of the Council of C ​ ​ulture and Arts of Chile to operate through the Law of Cultural 
Donations of Chile (Law N. 18.985, 2013), giving the possibility that the donors defined by law can support 
the foundation and obtain tax benefits (law again approved in 2017 and 2018). This law, in conjunction with 
the Municipal Income Law obtained in 2015, has not only facilitated the management of FAVA, but has also 
allowed to carry out various activities, projects and programs linked to patronage, philanthropy and 
education through the Board of Contemporary Art (PAC_FAVA). The PAC_FAVA is made up of the 
patrons of the foundation, composed of people and businessmen animated by the same ideals that ​they​ drive 
FAVA.
During 2014 and 2015, the work that FAVA ​performED​ at the Ch.ACO Fair ​was supported of​ the National 
Fondart -Support for Cultural Organizations, Festivals and Contests, of the National Council of Culture and 
the Arts- with the purpose of co-financing all those communication projects carried out for this event: edition 
of the catalog, production of the conference program, management of talks and respective communication 
actions.
Also, in 2017 and 2018, FAVA has had the support of two important Private companies: Inmobiliaria las 
Salinas (2017-18) and Banco Santander (2018),​ ​whose financing has allowed the realization of various 
itineraries of the program "FAVA VA!" (In the Metropolitan Region and V region of Chile) and the "Routes 
Conversados ​/ FAVA Santander ". Since then, and thanks to this type of support, FAVA has continued to 
make progress in​ ​its mission by developing a series of projects and programs that meet with the fundamental 
objectives of their work: to promote philanthropy, to contribute to education, promote collecting and valuing 
heritage.

• Project Information

What do you want to do with the US Embassy funds? ​(maximum half page) 

This year, Chile will host the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) which brings together 21 
economies from the Pacific area. 
Within this framework will organize the first PUBLIC ART FESTIVAL. During this November, and through 
different cities around Chile, artists from the 21 economies will carry out interventions in public spaces. This 
festival’s goal is to bring citizens closer to art, using public space as its stage. 
We seek to connect artists and people from different cultures and to contribute to the country’s artistic 
heritage. 
From the United States we have invited the artist Janet Zweig (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, US. 1950) who will 
make, as part of this festival, an intervention in a public space in the city of Punta Arenas, in one of the 
southernmost cities of the world, working in collaboration with local citizens. We request this grant to 
finance her participation.

(See our Grants Application Information Page on our website for more detail on the restrictions regarding what kind of projects we 
can support with U.S. Embassy Santiago Public Affairs grants funding.) 

If project includes exchanges of experts, provide experts’ brief resumes

Who is your target audience for this project?​ (​maximum half page)
This festival’s goal is to bring citizens closer to art, using public space as its stage. Our target public is 
citizens, including local artists, passers-by, children, youth and adults, 
immigrants and Chileans, from the city of all of Chile and in space from the city of Punta Arenas.

What results do you expect from this project? ​(maximum half page)

Explain your monitoring and evaluation plan ​(maximum half page) EXPLIQUE CÓMO VA A MONITOREAR Y 
EVALUAR EL PROYECTO. 

How will you amplify or promote your project? (example, social media) ​(maximum half page)

How does your project connect to the United States?​ ​(maximum half page)

The United States is an economy associated with APEC, ​which is the main principal of this project.​ For this 
reason we have invited an American artist to be part of our program, where artists from the 21 economies 
associated with APEC will participate​.

How does your project support one of the following themes for 2020: ​(maximum half page)
• Expanding English language proficiency ​(priority: reaching public schools, higher 
education students, and young professionals with an emphasis on improving conversational English 
and STEM fields)
• Increased social inclusion ​(priority: equal rights and opportunities for immigrants, LGBTI 
individuals, people with disabilities, indigenous communities, and racial minorities, as well as civic 
education)
• Fostering entrepreneurship and innovation ​(priority: projects that multiply the number of 
women and minority small business owners, including social impact investment and philanthropy)
• U.S.- Chile cooperation in science and technology ​(priority: renewable energy, women in 
STEM and regional initiatives)
• Increasing cultural exchanges between the United States and Chile ​(priority: reaching 
underserved audiences outside of Santiago)

This is a project for the community, addressed to all the inhabitants of the country, kids, young people, 
adults, Chileans and ​immi-grants​ who use public space everyday. The artwork which will be produced by 
artists seeks to generate a sense of belonging in the community where they will be created, in order to make 
them part of people’s lives, and that the community ​it-self ​can tell the story of what each work of art stands 
for. 
Janet Zweig will create a project related with local history, in specific she will work with the wind. Punta 
Arenas is a windy city where the wind can reach more than 80km per hour. The inhabitants are accustomed 
to this climatic and geographical condition, which is why in many places of the city, grip ropes have been 
placed so that passers-by can hold on when there is wind. Janet will develop a specific work for the city of 
Punta Arenas in relation to this condition. The work will remain there as part of the artistic heritage of the 
city.

• Increasing academic exchanges between the United States and Chile ​(priority: higher 
education students and the 100,000 Strong in the Americas initiative)
• Advancing excellence in journalism ​(priority: investigative journalism).

​ udget Expenses Categories Description on following pages
Budget Expenses Categories Description
 
Authorized Budget
There are no universally accepted cost categories, please use your best judgement as to where
items should fit. Grants officers will evaluate whether expenses are listed under the correct
category based on government-wide cost guidance. In all cases, costs should be reasonable,
allowable and allocable to the project.

1. Personnel
An organizations’ FTE, (Full Time Equivalency) includes any personnel directly employed by the
recipient organization that can be directly attributed to the grant. It does not include personnel that
indirectly work on the grant such as financial administration, secretarial or maintenance staff. A
percentage of FTE’s may be calculated and included as long as that percentage is directly
attributed to the grant. This might include project directors who administer several grant programs
or persons hired to work on several different programs or who work only part time on grant related
activities.

​ . Fringe Benefits
2
Fringe benefits include cost items such as pension plans, health benefits, or other benefits that
conform to an organization’s established policy. Similar to FTE’s, fringe benefits may only be
applied for personnel directly working on the project. Often, this is shown as a percentage of salary
or wages and would conform to the organization’s established policy.

3. Travel
All travel costs that are directly attributable to a grant project. Travel costs must be itemized by the
grantee and must be reasonable: economy class domestic and international airfare, per diem
rates, and other local travel (bus, train, etc.)

4. Equipment
Equipment refers to tangible nonexpendable personal property including information technology
systems) charged directly to the award having a useful life of more than one year and an
acquisition cost of $5,000 or more per unit. However, consistent with recipient policy, lower limits
may be established. This category would include vehicles, computer equipment valued over
$5,000, specialized equipment, air conditioning/heating equipment, installation, maintenance and
anticipated repair costs.

5. Supplies
Supplies means all tangible personal property other than those described under Equipment. A
computing device is a supply if the acquisition cost is less than $5,000, regardless of the length of
its useful life. Materials and supplies used for the performance of a Federal award would include
general office supplies, computer software, consumable automotive supplies, small equipment
such as adding machines, calculators, or other expendable supplies.

6. Contractual
Contract means a legal instrument by which a non-Federal entity purchases goods or services
needed to carry out the project or program under a Federal award. The term as used here does not
include a legal instrument, even if the non-Federal entity considers it a contract, when the
substance of the transaction meets the definition of a Federal award or sub-award. Contractual
expenses include conference room rental, speaker’s fees, including but not limited to per diem
and/or travel, security services, payroll services, accounting services and audits.
7. Renovation
Non-major costs for rearrangement and alteration or reconversion of facilities.
Construction would include ordinary or normal alterations, restoration or rehabilitation such as any
work that modifies buildings and/or grounds. This includes but is not limited to adding, replacing,
modifying, relocating, removing, or painting doors, walls, windows, flooring or the alterations of
ceilings, adding on to or dividing existing space or work on any building utility system, including
electrical, plumbing, ventilation, air conditioning, controls systems, fire alarms, fire sprinklers,
security systems and telecommunication equipment.

8. Other Direct Costs

Other direct costs include but are not limited to participant support costs, educational, cultural and
training allowances. They could also include furniture and furnishings, rugs, draperies, mirrors,
lamps, etc.; small equipment with a value of less than $5,000 such as adding machines,
calculators, copying, and other machines used in an office; or items such as postage, telephone,
internet charges, printing and publishing materials, utilities, space rental, or insurance. Costs
incurred for the same purpose in like circumstances must be treated consistently as either direct or
indirect (F&A) costs.

10. Indirect Costs ​(facilities & administrative (F&A)

Indirect (F&A) costs means those costs incurred for a common or joint purpose benefitting more
than one cost objective. To facilitate equitable distribution of indirect expenses to the cost
objectives served, it may be necessary to establish a number of pools of indirect (F&A) costs.
Indirect (F&A) cost pools must be distributed to benefitted cost objectives on bases that will
produce an equitable result in consideration of relative benefits derived. Indirect costs are incurred
for a common or joint purpose and therefore cannot be identified readily and specifically with a
particular sponsored project or other institutional activity. In general, all costs should be
represented, whenever feasible, as direct costs. Costs incurred for the same purpose in like
circumstances must be treated consistently as either direct or indirect (F&A) costs.

12. Cost-Sharing (Contributions on 1​st​. Budget Summary column)

Cost sharing refers to that portion of the project or program costs not borne by the Embassy/U.S.
Department of State or other federal agency, including cash and third party in-kind support. These
costs must reflect the realistic capacity of the applicants and any third party contributions.
