| 1. Your goal is to bring no cost classes to the children, but your objectives and activities don't tell how you plan to do this. Your objectives read as more goals without explanation of how you will achieve them. | |

I'm very aware of websites right now, since the organization I work with is struggling to redesign its site. I find your website is charming, but out of date. Has nothing happened since August of 2016? Your goals are impressive. More detail about objectives and activities would help me see how your program will achieve excellence in pursuing these goals. When you tell me that increasing after school programming to an average of three classes per school will lead to a 20% increase in that portion of your programming by 20%, I understand where you plan to go and how you can prove you got there. The context helps me appreciate the goal. Without that context, I don't know whether adding 10 new homeschooled students to your program is a big leap or business as usual. You provide an impressive report on students who have continued practicing music after graduating -- evidence that undergirds your point about lifelong enrichment. Have you considered performances outside of senior living facilities? Diversification into community events, church functions, civic organizations (Kiwanis, Rotary) could be useful, to your students and to your organization. Your method for evaluating fiscal stability is clear. How do you evaluate the effectiveness of your programs? About your budget: Thank you for the explanatory note about donation of office space. Make it clear where and how you document the donation of space. About accessibility: your reliance on organizations who donate space is understandable, and your training is up to date. Go farther! Talk about your outreach to special needs students and audience members here. Support materials are well selected to show your work from a number of angles. Are you working toward more theater productions? Are you advocating with your school system to include the arts more systemically? Since you are sending eager musicians into upper grades, you are well positioned to remind your school administrators that those talents need continued education. |

E: Clear mission; well-defined and measurable, but non-specific, objectives/goals; not clear what the partnerships enable.
I: Opportunity to individual impact ratio is appropriate; generally complete but not very defined.
M: Partnerships clearer here; curious about budget request ratio to cash match. Could be an issue.
A: Excellent. |

You have a nice website but it's five years out of date! Under impact, you might mention that in addition to economic impact, there are social and cultural needs that are being met. |

| Why is there a significant difference in the amount between the organization's operating budget for Next Fiscal Year, $62,400, and the Proposal Budget, $18,852? Excellent support materials including letters of support and the 2017 Spring semester programming. It was easier to understand the organization's program through the materials. | |

Goals, Objectives and activities very organized and easy to read and identify. Suggest strengthening the case for fiscal condition and sustainability. |

A lot of offerings! Goals and accompanying objectives are very clear. What determines whether the youth are low-cost or no cost? The plan to increase by 100 this year is very ambitious. Is there a way to extend the offerings to all four school year semesters? Understandably, this would decrease the frequency per semester. What is the attrition rate of the youth, and how many are returning v. one-time users? |
