    Award Details

    Equipment grants typically consist of small additions or enhancements to existing equipment or systems, such as a small fixture package or a low-to-mid-range control console. The retail value of such awards seldom exceeds $10,000. Please note: ETC is unable to fund complete lighting system packages or any awards that would require system commissioning or electrical upgrades. In addition, if the Corporate Giving office is unable to fund at least 50% of an equipment request, the grant will not be awarded.

    Funding grants awarded through ETC's Community Betterment Committee (CBC) are typically modest; requests that exceed $10,000 are seldom awarded. The committee meets twice annually (in May and November) to review and award grant requests.
