Attached to this referral response is the application that prospective partners are required to complete in our grant management software called Submittable. We offer assistance with accessing the software and provide guidance with application completion as necessary to put potential applications in the best position to receive funding.
Also attached is the scoring rubric that we use to evaluate each of the completed applications. This scoring rubric is completed independently by a four-person panel. Once all of the applicants have been scored, the panel meets to review their assessments and final recommendations for funding are established. This list of recommended partners and funding amounts is forwarded to the Parks and Youth Services Director for review and approval.
This year’s panel consisted of:
David Bush- Commissioner of Youth Services
Daveion Beach- Youth Programs Coordinator
Stephanie Covington- Commissioner of Educational Engagement and Workforce Development
Member of the public:
Vinetta Moore- local mental health consultant
