Description, goals, objectives, and activities outlined clearly. Multiple collaborators listed by name and partners confirmed, with some partnerships anticipated – this strengthens the application as well as the artist’s personal experience with the subject.

This artist is clearly committed to raising awareness re: the trans experience and this project will build on that experience as well as benefit from it.

The budget could be strengthened if personnel costs were broken down further. Also, given they are working with at risk organizations that support LGBTQ+ rights, it would significantly strengthen their app if some of the requested funds were dispersed more broadly to support more of the entitles involved in carrying out this program.

This application could be significantly strengthened by including letters of support confirming partners.
