This is a specific project, not GPS. Please read the guidelines: General Program Support funding to assist underwriting general programming expenses (not for specific projects) of eligible organizations through a specified period. General program support funds may be used only for those programming expenses itemized on the grant proposal budget form. This type of funding is broad in scope. Panel review is more comprehensive and encompasses evaluation of all activities conducted bythe applicant organization. Specific Project a particular project, program, or series within the applicant organization’s total operations. SFPBS budget: $19.25 million On the Town: $370k You requested both $150,000 and $145,442. I'd like to see revenue specific to this program. If you can carveout expenses then it shouldn't be too difficult.

This proposal does not make a strong argument that the proposed project, to promote Florida places to Floridians, is the best way to create impact. The application lists the general projected PBS viewership but does not provide enough evidence of the benefit to the community by listing the following. How many individuals will benefit through media? * 8,606,960 How many Adults will be engaged? * 0 How many school based youth will benefit? * 0 How many non-school based youth will benefit? * 0 How many older adults will benefit? * 0 A positive note on the impact section does note: "Aside from the broadcast, each episode is accompanied by a free community outreach educational screening event, offering an additional economic impact on local restaurants and attractions." It is unclear how this community/educational outreach actually works and what the activities will be.
