Balog Scott - Score: 87.000
Focus on marketing staff support in proposal
Betancourt Javier - Score: 81.000

good organization with lots of creative activity; marketing plan is great; excellent partnerships; very detailed timeline; good detail on demographic

CONCERNS: The proposal is only for a marketing plan which is by definition not direct services, while it is clear how it integrates into the arts and culture programming of the organization a more direct proposal would help future applications; evaluation needs more specific structure; there are questions in the budget; what is the role of the tech staff; there is a line item for performing artists but unclear how employed; why is training for marketing needed? accessibility statement is perfunctory and basic; no inclusion or outreach

Good Impact information

Good marketing plan

Evaluation does not tie into the goals and objectives. Goals and objectives are useless if they are not measured by an evaluation.

It would be nice to see cultural division grants allocated to artists who'll amplify the programming and give the media consultants content to post (versus marketing specific although that is a creative profession). It would be great as in many of these applicants to have samples of member's finished work including video of productions etc...It will be important to have that type of information to share on the new website and social media.
