Well-written grant with excellent programming.
Gunter Ben - Score: 98.000

I enjoyed your website.  I found it eye-catching, active, and dynamically diverse.

The mission expressed in your narrative is clear, and moving. The range of activities described is impressive.  Specific examples of activities (e.g., types of dances learned) are helpful.

There are occasional typos in the narrative, and some repetitions (partnerships #4 and #14) that slightly tarnish the sheen of your narrative. 

The value of your programs -- and the creative spark behind activities like LiterArtcy and No-School Field Trips -- shines through anyway.

Your organization's attention to demographics in assessing impact is admirable, and your attention to marketing is impressive.

The budget notes in "Additional Operating Budget Information" are helpful; there are some big jumps in your budget figures.  It would be useful for your budget notes to explain some of those jumps specifically (e.g., the big jumps on lines 4, 14, and 17).

Summer camp testimonials are useful advocates for your programming.

E: Clear mission and goals; clear, measurable outcomes, though lacking aim/target percentages or #s; partnerships section is excellent and clearly articulates what these partnerships enable/make possible.

 

I: Excellent use of data to support the role of the organization and what the programming provides the target audience/community.

 

M: History of timely reporting; long history of fiscal strength; great evaluation methods; concern that percentage of "In Kind" could be a problem.

 

A: Excellent.

Goals, objectives and activities clearly defined. Well written application with the right amount of information to describe the project. Very strong accessibility statement.
Winter Pioneer - Score: 96.000
Very impressive calendar of upcoming events detailed in the timeline. I wonder if the total individuals to benefit is accurate - shouldn't it be more considering the scope of the project activities?
