A solid overall form, though more on your evaluative processes across all aspects of the museum and its operations would be appreciated.
Duhaney Carla - Score: 94.000
I am impressed with your diverse programming, especially the Exceptional Nights for children with physical, neurological or sensory disorders.  Also the Discovery Nights inviting partner agencies to escort homeless, sheltered or at risk children to your facility.

Impact:

Could have used a bit more information on demographics. Family status, income, etc. of service area. 

Free admission opportunities are numerous, demonstrating a commitment to accessibility for underserved/disadvantaged community groups. 

More information on board diversity. Organization states that within the County's public school system the majority of students are minorities, with over half identifying as Hispanic/Latino. Do the demographics of the board reflect this? Are there voices at the table representing the significant minority population and cultural diversity of the County?

Track record:

Financial stability is demonstrated, and evaluation plan and methods are clearly described. Measurable outcomes are listed.
