I really appreciate that you have an exhibit called "Freedom Seekers at the Manatee" about the maroon community of Angola and you have a focus on Florida's Underground Railroad. I am also intrigued by the Back to Angola festival that attracts the Bahamian community. It is great that you are reflecting the diverse history of Manatee. |

Budget: 1. If staff members are continuing to provide in-kind services, you'll need to be careful to conform for state and federal laws regarding employees also volunteering. 2. Next year shows a deficit budget. There is also a substantial jump in remaining operating expenses. Please explain. |

Excellent organization around clearly articulated goals, objectives, and activities supported by grant-funded expenses. In future applications, take note of the formatting (paragraph breaks, indentation, bullets, etc.) when cutting and pasting from other sources. |

Excellence: Outreach in form of tours, brochures, lectures, school trips, website, outdoor signage and hosted events. A new Visitors Center opening in 2019. They provide as a central clearing house for historic restoration projects and historic events. They want to continue providing displays, education outreach, on-site programming and offer themselves as a resource. Good summary of partnerships and roles and responsibility. Timeline is reasonable and ambitious. Collections size, scope, and care is well developed. Impact - ambitious but realistic, well explained, with the beginnings of a strategy to market their programs and resources. Management: They appear to be looking for support to hire a part time administrator for $5K along with a Ed/Ex/Coll manager for $5K with grant funds, with currently only a part time Ed/Ex/Coll manager on staff now (programmatic outside fees). It's a modest grant that could make a difference. ADA: With intention, Reflections of Manatee addressed some major ADA access issues by installing ramps and bathrooms and have a strategy to update their exhibition panels and texts by increasing font sizes and offering text in Spanish. |
