He says the clubs collectively pay $44,000 in annual taxes and fees to the City of San Francisco, which includes payroll taxes and permits for running a place of assembly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cortell describes the city’s approach to stemming the spread of the coronavirus pandemic as “disciplined, but very restrictive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t want to be the cause of increasing a viral spike, but we also need to survive as businesses,” Cortell says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cortell’s businesses have relied on federal aid packages and rent relief from landlords in order to stay afloat over these past few months. He says things may improve in the second or third quarter of next year — if local and federal bodies are willing to step up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whatever the city can do to help our industry, together with federal help, is the only way we can keep going into next year,” Cortell says. “Right now, all we can do is focus on getting to next week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s grant fell from $423,190 to $400,00 since 2019; the San Francisco Ballet’s from $428,890 to $400,000; and the San Francisco Opera’s from $680,000 to $600,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conversely, many of the smaller, equity-focused community organizations are seeing an increase in 2020.

The company saw a slight increase in GFTA funding from $45,490 in 2019 to $46,350 this year. “So it makes a big difference,” adds Cervantes. “It helps pay for utilities and rent, as well as administrative costs like marketing and website management.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GFTA funding, a portion of which comes from hotel tax revenues, has been in existence since 1961. But starting in the early 2000s, owing to financial issues, the city gradually reduced its arts budget, ultimately repealing the specific allocation altogether in 2013. In 2018, San Francisco residents \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11704700/s-f-voters-say-yes-to-restoring-hotel-tax-funding-for-arts-and-culture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">approved a ballot measure, Proposition E\u003c/a>, to restore the funding. Since then, 1.5% of the base hotel tax — a 14% tax levied on hotel stays in the city — has been dedicated to supporting arts and culture programs in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But COVID-19 has left San Francisco’s hotel industry in tatters. According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sftravel.com/article/san-francisco-travel-updating-tourism-projections-due-global-covid-19-pandemic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">figures released earlier this month by the San Francisco Travel Association\u003c/a>, which markets San Francisco nationally and globally as a tourism and convention destination, the number of visitors to the city are down more than 50% over last year, and their total spending has plummeted nearly 70%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arts and culture industry workers like Precita Eyes’ Cervantes are worried about what the shortfall might mean for funding in the coming years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After the 2008 recession, everyone got a cut and we were slowly able to get it back,” says Cervantes. “And now there’s a big question of if we’ll be going back to those harder times.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the shrinking of hotel tax dollars won’t completely decimate GFTA funding, at least in the near-to-medium-term, thanks to a safeguard written into Proposition E.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In bad years for the hotel tax, as is the case now, we only drop by up to 10% over the previous year, and that would be the case even if hotel tax dollars dwindle to nothing,” says GFTA director Matthew Goudeau.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Goudeau says the reverse is also true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In years when the hotel tax revenues are strong and growing, our budget can only grow by up to 10% over the previous year, even if, for example, the hotel tax were to grow by something like 25%.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goudeau also says funding for each subsequent year uses the previous fiscal year as a baseline.
