Measure B Grantees
Measure B TOT Revenue Distribution Policy
On March 3, 2020, voters approved Measure B (TOT), which increased the General Fund portion of the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) by 1 percent, effective July 1, 2020, paid by hotel/motel guests. The City Council passed a resolution during its February 18, 2020 meeting to declare their intent to spend revenues generated by Measure B on the City’s arts organizations and the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center. This measure provides a vital funding source for student arts education programs, community arts, music, cultural programs and organizations, and local museums and theaters.
The Arts Council for Long Beach (ACLB), governed by a Board of Directors, is the facilitator for arts grants programs, public art, arts education, arts advocacy, and arts programming for the City of Long Beach. The ACLB is a publicly held 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation that receives and distributes public (City and County) funds and raises funds through private donations, foundations, corporate donations, and fee-for-service contracts. City funding is provided through annual contracts for specified services.
