Felder Jenna - Score: 94.000

Application is well written and paints a great picture of the festival as do the support materials. 

Beyond Limits/Calming Pavilion is excellent and should be a model for other organizations. 

The state has a calculator you can use to determine the economic impact of the event. You can find it here:

In answering the question about demographics, it is asking for demographics about your service area - not your event. 

Juarez Ana - Score: 100.000

Miami Beach Bay Pride's application seeks funding for the Miami Beach Pride Festival 2024. After reviewing the application, I have scored it 100 (out of a total possible score of 100).

The Calming Pavilion is a wonderful inclusion and I can imagine many individuals and families utilizing this space during the festival.

Moore Regina - Score: 95.000
  • Solid activities that represent the community in which the organization works with
  • Great selection of support documents
  • Strong partnerships and marketing campaign
  • It is impressive to learn the number of attendees who were surveyed at the 2022 Pride event.
  • The pandemic had a huge impact in the organization and project. In the Form 990 for FY 2020-2021, the total organizational revenue was $190,284. Meanwhile in the application, they state that the current and next FY operating budgets are over $1 million. The pandemic had a huge impact on their budget.

Solid proposal but I wonder about how directly significant this grant is to artists?
