The ZAP program encourages grantees to provide free tickets and/or invitations to the County at least once per year so that members of the applicable Advisory Board, elected officials, and ZAP staff may evaluate the applicant and the merits of its programs and activities. Advisory Board members and ZAP staff are encouraged to attend free events whenever possible.

Inviting Advisory Board members, elected officials, and ZAP staff to your activities is a welcoming opportunity for them to learn about your organization in an experiential way. Additionally, while attending your activities, many ZAP representatives enjoy meeting applicant staff and performers and to interact with fellow audience members.
