Submit your certificate(s) of insurance. Proof of Workers’ Compensation and Abuse and Molestation coverage is required by providing A4L a Certificate of Insurance.
Workers’ Compensation
Neither Contractor nor its employees, owners, agents, or officers are covered by A4L’s workers’ compensation coverage. Workers’ compensation is necessary for the performance of the Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for obtaining such coverage. The Contractor may seek coverage from a broker or insurance provider of their choice. However, for Contractors living in Maryland, Chesapeake Insurance is Maryland’s assigned risk carrier and by law, they must offer coverage. Proof of this coverage is required by providing A4L a Certificate of Insurance.
Sexual Abuse and Molestation
A minimum of $1MM Sexual Abuse and Molestation policy is required of all independent contractors contracted to work with underage children in schools, recreation centers, or any other setting in which children are or may be present. Proof of this coverage is required by providing A4L with a Certificate of Insurance.
For tax reporting, all artists must submit a W9 Form. You only need to submit it once unless your information changes; then, send an updated W9. Download the form from the IRS website and upload your completed document using the link below.
Funders frequently request an artist’s resume or CV. Keeping yours updated helps us respond quickly to opportunities and secure funding faster.
