- compliments on great variety in terms of programming, education initiatives and the emphasis on presenting contemporary music

- the timeline does not correlate with the grant period

- the demographics section is rather austere - try to include more information about the socio-economic and cultural diversity of the community, and how the organization's activities correspond to the demographic makeup of the service area

- try to include specific figures in terms of economic impact - has an economic impact study been conducted recently? If not, it may be beneficial for an organization of this size and reach

- compliments on a great DEI statement

Your goals, objectives and activities were not clearly laid out.   Specific measurable objects were not really included.  It reads as goals with activities. No objectives.

"Objectives: Specific, measurable ends that are achievable within a time frame and mark progress towards achieving goals."'

Clear what  your types of concerts are.  But how many?  Guest artists?  Repertoire. 

Your timeline is a bit vague.

Is the symphony 132 members?

I don't understand why your are including FY21 programming for a FY22 grant.

Due to lack of clear program narrative no idea how you get to 37 programs/52 public events.

Include socioeconomic details in your demographics (not just race/age).

Impact statement good and interesting.

clear marketing plan.

clear evaluation plan.

Significant budget increases despite of COVID.  Your budget narrative might have addressed this.

Your marketing in your budget doesn't seem to match the extensive description in your marketing narrative.

Clear accessibility planning.

Would be nice to have samples of performances, not just commercials.

Great Community Outreach!
