Bravo to the longstanding Naples Music Club for its commitment to music and early childhood education. I am impressed with the attention to research in curriculum design, evaluation, program breadth, cost-effective, quality instruction, careful budgetting. Management: It is quite amazing that all of this is organized and managed by volunteers. However, if the program continues to grow (and we certainly hope it does!) a paid adminstrator may be warranted. Additionally a composite video of clips from various programs will paint a much clearer picture of your excellent work

| I think that this organization has a very worthy mission, and I note that both on its website and on the grant application, they understandably expresses great pride in the number of scholarships provided to needy music students. However, I feel that the organization is verging on breaking the "no re-granting" rule for DOS grants. The budget indicates that grant funds will be used to pay teachers in the amount of $27,500. This, plus the indicated grants funds used for "major fund raiser" (line $3,500 and definitely not allowed), equal $30,000--roughly the amount given in scholarships. I recognize that it is allowed to ask for salaries, but given that by underwriting salaries, the grant money frees up nearly an identical amount for scholarships, this almost seems like re-granting to me. This said, since the Division has allowed the request, I will not score lowly based on this, but rather caution the organization to revisit this. | |
