Impact does not seem strong.  Only 1 event at a location yet to be determined in Broward, however Miami-Dade was also checked off, but even though this org does do work in Miami-Dade, I did not see the connection with this proposal. Show is 1 hour.  No information on how the 1200 individuals benefiting was derived.  There is no economic impact information or education and outreach listed in proposal impact. The marketing narrative needs more detail. Accessibility narrative is lacking.  Should not only focus on physical environment and the obligation is on your organization, not venues that supposedly receive NEA grants, which is not applicable to you or this application.  Your response needs to include more programmatic access initiatives and you checked that your organization has NO policies and procedures (which is shocking for a 15-year old organization. I know this org. has done work with accessibility in miami-dade, so not sure if this was just poorly written by a new uninformed grant writer, or whatever the case is?

Management: Budget for project has no expense items other than artist fees.  Two performances - one for students; one for adults - yet only 1 is listed under Impact estimated number of proposal events.  There is a reference to "our marketing department" and yet there are no personnel expenses, only outside (presumable contracted services).
