Would recommend being more specific about what your arts and cultural programs actually consist of  - you mention an RHEAP art appreciation class - need more details on other programs.

Good job on initiating Constant Contact email blasts. Make sure you have a "Sign up for Emails" on your website and that it dumps the signup emails into your Constant Contact lists.

Thank you for budget explanation.

You offer programs important for your rural area.

Please watch your formatting.

Johnson Linda - Score: 67.000
State the proposed project in concise and direct language. Reduce the repetitive use of adjectives and narrative that does not apply directly to the project for which funds are being requested. The Goals, Objectives and Activities narrative failed to provide a clear understanding of the activities that the grant would support.  Goals and objectives were not clearly articulated in support of the title of the grant "Young Performing Artist Cooperation" or the mission statement "To identify and address the specialized needs of young (up to 22 yrs. old) performing and visual artists as well as provide creative solutions to youth development."  There is too much discussion about elder and senior programs and too little discussion that focuses on the youth programs offered. The title and mission need to tie clearly to the whole proposal.

For an organization whose mission is to serve young people there is a lot of activities at The Villages.
Turrell Nancy - Score: 80.000
Narrative was hard to follow. Mission statement doesn't match up to program narrative in a clear way. 
Webber Emma - Score: 85.000
  • Outside of the facility tour, proposed activities are not made clear in the application.
  • Program goals are too broad and are not accompanied by an evaluation method.
