A more detailed timeline would have helped to better make your case. Given your county's ethnic demographics, how have you made use of diversity on your board, staff, and in your programming? Without addressing this question, it is difficult to assess the real impact of your proposal. To improve your evaluation plan, explicitly discuss how you assess your performance of the goals articulated at the beginning of your proposal. Why do the costs for your personnel increase?

Miami's capital grants program is unusual. How does the department monitor capital improvements? Does the department track contractor's licensing and bonding requirements? What relationship does the Division has with Miami-Dade schools?

75,000 events?  Is this a typo, or does this represent the sum total of all DCA funding organizations?

Impressive list of partners -- and clearly an exceptional LAA - however, I was surprised to see few "community-based" partner orgs.

Evaluation narrative lacked detail for such well-financed programs.

Overall, as an extremely well-resourced LAA, with an impressive range of programs and services, the goals and objectives seemed general and vague, with the exception of engaging broader public -- very good examples.

Clearly, the agency is doing great work, but the application narrative didn't provide the context or fully address the impact in the community which I am certain is there. Perhaps attaching the business plan would have helped.

Very well-written proposal; goals and objectives are clearly defined and are consistent throughout narrative; outreach and accessibility initiatives are incredible
