Supporting Documentation

In addition to submitting an application, an applicants must submit documentation that substantiates his/her craft career and emergency:

All applications must include:

  • A resume outlining your accomplishments as a craft artist, including: exhibitions and shows, publications featuring your work, education, awards, teaching experiences, etc.
  • IRS 1040 Forms and Schedule C’s from the last two years and, if a corporation, corporate tax returns from the last two years. Transcripts of lost federal Form 1040 tax returns can be mailed to you by contacting the IRS at 1-800-908-9946 or online. Allow five to ten days to receive the returns.
  • Documentation of your work (color original photographs or quality copies of originals; electronic versions or a web address where your work can be seen are also acceptable). If you would like any materials returned, please include a list of items to be returned and a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
  • Documentation of the emergency: fire or police department report; newspaper story related to the emergency; itemized lists and/or photos of lost or destroyed merchandise, equipment, buildings, etc. Ideally, photos are high quality prints or high resolution digital images. Including yourself in the photo is also helpful, but not essential. If a medical emergency, provide a written prognosis from your doctor or other health provider.
