1.      Carefully read the RFP. This is a new format this year.

2.      Read each proposal.

3.      Use one score sheet per application. Assign a score to each question on the score sheet. For example, for Question 1 on the score sheet you can assign anywhere between 0 and 15 points maximum depending on how well you think the proposal met criteria for that question. 

4.      The maximum total score possible is 100 points for questions 1-7. Please total questions 1-7 for each application.

5.    Submit a list of your all your scores by organization name on or before January 13 by email to psallade@comcast.net. That will enable me to calculate average scores per proposal before the meeting and will speed up our decision making process.

7.      If you have a conflict of interest, please do not score the grant. Place a N/A in the total score column for that organization.

 

In previous years, reviewers have found it helpful to keep specific notes on strengths and weaknesses for each application in order to inform our discussion, help guide funding decisions, and also to provide important feedback to those who took the time to apply. Notes for questions that scored particularly low are also recommended and help provide feedback to applicants on funding decisions.

 

We have the ability to allocate up to $170,000 but are not required to allocate proposals that do not meet RFP requirements. Partial funding decisions may be made, but we try to limit this unless necessary.
