The objectives are not stated as fully measurable as requested in the grant application. Thank you for the budget explanation on what is included and not. |

Program activities clearly support the organization's mission. Qualitative impact statements convey the proposal's impact, but this would be strengthened by quantitative economic impact data. (Use the Americans for the Arts economic prosperity calculator, absent proprietary data.) There would seem to be opportunities to engage more school-based youth than zero, especially given partnerships with Miami-Dade and Broward Music Teachers National Associations. | |

Goals, Objectives and ACtivities are good. Proposal would be strengthened by adding another objective or two. Partnerships are detailed. Economic Impact would be strengthened by giving Economic Impact in community for ancillary spending and by quantifying how much CF is putting into the local economy. Impact - Educational - how are scholarship recipients chosen? Marketing is very complete with many angles Fiscal condition - includes high endowment and mandated fiscal responsibility Operating Budget Information notes are very helpful This is such a large surplus that I wonder whether the Foundation could do a little more for the community while still accumulating $ for the national competition every 5 years. It's a fine line of whether the state funding is put to good use or simply expanding endowment. Accessibility section good, but evaluation 2.5 years ago. |
