First each participant submits their proposal along with a detailed budget. Second the Program Coordinator evaluates and approves the proposals. Participants are oriented on the methods and documents required for refunds or direct payments to suppliers and businesses. The Accounting Assistant reviews all documentation validates the information and prepares a Payment Record showing the use and available balance. The Executive Director and Program Coordinator approve payments and then the Director and Accountant process the corresponding payments. Periodic team meetings are held to review the use and movement of assigned funds. These meetings include discussions with artists about the progress and financial status of the projects and review with management on usage percentages and budget performance. Additionally visits are received and reports are presented on the required program and budget. In some specific projects follow-up meetings check-ins are held to evaluate the budget in relation to the schedule in addition to coordinating report delivery dates. Part VI, Line 8a The organization does not have committees. Part VI, Line 11b Form 990 is presented to the members of the Governance Board for review analysis and approval prior to being filed. Part VI, Line 12c Management evaluates the information of each resource before being hired. If there is any conflict it is referred to the Board of Directors for evaluation.

Part VI, Line 19 As an organizational philosophy our values are the transparency of operations and the creation of trust for those we serve. Organizational documents financial statements and form 990 are available upon request. Part III Line 4 | Explanation:| MANIOBRA Part III Line 4a - We have not only achieved our initially proposed objectives but have surpassed them significantly. We have successfully provided fair wages and fringe benefits to 40 artists from various disciplines simultaneously supporting 25 organizations initiatives and projects. Our managerial support structure ensures the continuity of the project facilitating the implementation of artistic initiatives by granting an annual budget. Additionally we have contributed to the decentralization of the arts production in Puerto Rico. Over the past year we have also offered workshops and interventions addressing sustainability savings investment and labor issues further extending our impact and commitment to the artistic community. This program has created a multiplier effect by ensuring economic security for artists their projects and families. It provides access to health plans and funding to execute artistic endeavors. This allows artists to hire more collaborators and receive support in managerial aspects fostering a thriving creative community. By addressing these critical needs the program not only enhances the stability and productivity of individual artists but also invigorates the broader artistic ecosystem driving cultural and economic growth. Achievements: Continuing the positive impact added to the economy and creative ecosystem Maniobras participating projects invest the fund in strengthening their basic and fundamental infrastructure for their operations and headquarters. In some scenarios prioritizing communities with access and social justice challenges their benefit through job opportunities and professional development. The fund has been vital to ensure access to infrastructure such as rent and utilities for venues workshop spaces performance spaces and support areas to continue and continue the cycle of their creative and artistic processes. Acquisition and replacement of materials and equipment required to keep their infrastructure venues and programming effective efficient and safe. The opportunity for several artists from the Maniobra program to be selected and invited to participate in international projects such as festivals and biennials. A new project was launched called Maniobra Cohort II Music which is a cultural employment initiative designed to create sustainable job opportunities fostering economic and social growth within the creative community. Over the past year we successfully supported 18 Puerto Rican musicians in achieving the goals and objectives of this project. Through our collaboration they were able to produce a documentary 18 tracks singles 3 recordings launch 3 singles create 6 music videos embark on tours in the United States and internationally including Latin America and Spain release 3 albums compose 1 jingle and perform at 18 events concerts shows and festivals directly supported by Maniobra. The collective efforts and dedication of all involved led to a remarkable year of accomplishments and contributions to the music sector. Part III Line 4 | Explanation:| CEC Part III Line 4b - During 2023 as part of its mission the Centro de Economia Creativa Inc CEC continued to provide management and educational services to Puerto Ricos artistic cultural and creative sector. In alignment with its goal of decentralizing access the organization directly impacted 58 artists and 25 organizations across 12 cities within the Puerto Rican archipelago. Additionally CEC launched several innovative projects aimed at addressing key needs within the cultural community: 1. Guarida Cultural This initiative was developed to promote emotional health education and raise awareness about the importance of adopting positive and healthy behaviors. Its primary objectives include: o Supporting the Puerto Rican cultural and creative sector in developing socioemotional skills to manage change. o Helping individuals identify stressful situations and economic challenges. o Providing psychological services tailored to the unique needs of the cultural and creative community in Puerto Rico. 2. Nuestros Tambores - Fase II A project dedicated to showcasing and celebrating percussion crafts and their artisans highlighting their significance as elements of heritage art identity and economy. Part III Line 4 | Explanation:| ETNICA Part III Line 4c - As part of the goals and objectives presented in the original proposal we have made significant progress in the first year of our projects and relationship with the Mellon Foundation: 1 edition and one zine of Revista etnica. The 2nd edition of the AfroJuventudes Fest. The celebration of the 5th anniversary of Revista etnica and the launch of Archivo Negro. Special coverages and development of Narrative Change Campaigns and support for structural racism cases such as: the Canvanas family and the case of Katherine Martinez. Local Activism Campaign for the Crown Act: Mi Cabello es Mi Corona. In partnership with PAYE El Ancn de Loza and Tiempo de Contar we held the Somos Cultura Summer Camp. At Editorial etnica publishing we published 2 books and we are working on developing 6 books 4 of them are childrens literature books. We are currently providing mentorship in collaboration with the Program for incarcerated women at the UPR to complete their bachelors degrees and to have their thesis projects published in Revista etnica. Casa etnica: 90% completed in Phases 1 and 2 of the property remodeling project. In the case of the mutual support grant we had a mutual aid phase for more than 18 Black communities and have supported the establishment and continuity of 5 Community Kitchens in Loza. Weve served over 6,000 hot meals and supported first-response community spaces and organizations. Weve held community meetings to gather claims and solutions from the community itself; in addition during this time weve provided 10 healing justice spaces in alliance with other projects and organizations. Regarding challenges and setbacks of the proposed projects we have 2 important points to communicate and consider. Regarding the timeline we were too visionary in wanting to launch two large-scale projects such as Archivo Negro and a Musical Anthology project of Black music and artists. When we presented these projects we did not anticipate the impact and the passage of Hurricane Fiona. This has led us to engage in mutual support work in an emergency space and to coordinate community efforts that have taken time away from the execution of such an ambitious and necessary project as the musical anthology. In terms of budget we are interested in having a conversation since in the budget development exercise the 3 salaries with benefits that we calculated were done for one year and not for two.
