Cox Elaine - Score: 94.000

I like that this proposal/festival pays attention to serving diverse communities by presenting in their neighborhoods. Other arts-orgs with jazz series/festivals don't take the artists into Little Haiti and into South Dade.

Thank you for including information about economic impact. 

This proposal understands the diversity of jazz music, and the marketing, education components and impact reflects that. Wonderful to see the ADA Summit affected your programing and strengthened your relationship with Miami Lighthouse for the Blind. This is a great proposal. 

Jose Brian - Score: 86.000

Good mission and activities. The goals and objectives could be strengthened. For instance, "Continue to compensate artists fairly and promptly" is not a goal, that's daily business practice.

Applicant shows impact, particularly in education and outreach.

Applicant provides an excellent accessibility section to grant.

If there are 4 proposal events, why are only 3 of them available for public participation?

Jazz enthusiasts travel to see their favorite performers. I have to imagine that there are at least some participants from counties outside of Miami-Dade. It would be useful for you to reflect these in the counties served section.

The proposal included one measurable outcome, but more would strengthen the proposal, e.g. Increase education and outreach efforts by providing services to X additional schools by (date); X percent of Idle Hands participants will demonstrate (metric). Good marketing plan but use of social media should be expanded.

Objectives could be a bit stronger if more measurable and quantified

Strong partnerships but limited in scope - remember to include marketing partners, artistic partners, etc to strengthen application

Seems like there are more than 4 events and more than 3 numbers of opportunities for public participation

Lower impact becuase smaller in scope

Good economic impact  numbers; good use of amer for the arts calculator

Fiscal condition - many partners are listed here that shold be included in partnerships also

notes to financials are helpful

Deep commitment to accessibility in a way that makes sense for the org and the events.  Strong commitment that should be recognized.
