Bill > SF2425

This bill appropriates $1,000,000 in fiscal year 2026 from the arts and cultural heritage fund to the Explore Minnesota director, specifically to provide a grant to the Stairstep Foundation for supporting African American cultural festivals and events. The grant funds can be used for a wide range of expenses related to these events, including infrastructure development, event setup costs, permits, sanitation and maintenance services, transportation, staffing, event programming, public safety, facility and equipment rentals, signage, and insurance. The bill specifies that this is a one-time appropriation, meaning the $1 million funding is not intended to be a recurring annual allocation but a single financial support for the Stairstep Foundation's cultural events in the upcoming fiscal year.
