Bruney Laura - Score: 86.000

10% increase for e-news seems low for all the new opportunities they are doing. Martin Arts Magazine seems like a lot of work and cost for only 10,000 impacted

More info on Arts Fest and Court House Cultural Center Gallery are needed 

Seems like low impact for # of programs and outreach activities

Cathers Catherine - Score: 96.000

Harper Ruby - Score: 92.000

Appreciated the detail in goals/objectives/activities which were evident of alignment to mission

Strong list of partnerships

Clearly able to articulate their economic impact

I would have liked to have seen how the organization defines "diverse" in their desire to build stronger more diverse audiences.

Community stats would be helpful to put context around their efforts in auditory assistance for attendees

Mire Tricia - Score: 96.000
Impressive delivery given a small budget.  Good future planning and evaluation of programs.  Good to invest in endowment.

Very few references among the applicants about hearing as a component of accessibility. Kudos to Martin County!

"With a recent grant for technology we will be purchasing personal listening devices for use by people with hearing loss. The new technology may present opportunities for addressing accessibility, that were not available to us in the past."

Relatively modest budget that reflects the community's size and infrastructure. Limited resources for cultivating growth. Emphasis on marketing.
