37 year history; 5 day visual and musical arts festival; largest in state; 80% visual and performing are Florida artists - good

20 local organizations conduct fundraising activities at festival - good

Helping Neighbors Program - donates tickets

nationally recognized event and named in USA Today's Top 25 Festivals in the country

good timeline listing activities on a monthly basis; Accessibility could be stronger

grant funds for program staff; there is a $107,643,930 difference in salaries between previous fiscal year and current fiscal year with no explanation; that's a $107,643,454 loss with no explanation

also an error in the grant contact

economic impact - good, but would like info on the number of room night generated

• What plans are in place to sustain the proposal activities after the grant period? 
• As last year, the budget area was confusing due to apparent errors. The Personnel Administration line item ($108,758,000) in the Previous Fiscal Year has to be an error.
• Is there no in-kind to report? It seems an amount of marketing dollars spent could be leveraged to provide additional marketing through in-kind.
• More-careful proofreading would have helped to strengthen this grant.
• While support material are optional, it helps to include marketing samples and visuals that leave the reader with a greater sense of programming and somewhat of a feel for the organization's/project's work. When including letters within support materials, be sure each shows the date of writing.

Mission statement does not entirely match the program description in section 2. I suggest revisiting your mission statement.

Solid goals and objectives, good partnerships. Helpful and detailed timeline. Great marketing overview and evaluation plan.

More detail on fiscal condition would be helpful. Please balance your budget!
