❖We discussed and reviewed the priorities of the MCC ( related to <br />grants): <br />-Should we fully fund or partially fund the projects?: Some <br />of the projects we fund are very small ( $100-$900) <br />-Should we limit the number of years we fund a project ? <br />We have given priorities to first time applicants. <br />-Ashley feels that there should not be repeated grants <br />each year because some projects have to fund <br />themselves. <br />-Should we prioritize live projects over online projects? <br />Overall we feel that live events are more aligned with the <br />Mission of the Council. <br />-Lisa : Broad versus deep. Should we consider giving <br />preference to fewer proposals? <br />-Reviewing surveys administered to residents of Lexington <br />should give us important information about which projects <br />to fund. <br />-When considering grant applications from school children <br />we should factor in how school funding for the arts might <br />already cover the project in question. <br />-We agreed on changing some wordings on the document <br />Steve will make the corrections. <br />• Develop plan for publicizing grant availability and application <br />deadline <br />❖We discussed ways to publicize the grant application and <br />several members will advertise through different media: Shalini <br />will announce the Grants Application on Social Media ( Twitter, <br />Instagram) . Ashley will write a press release. We will also post <br />the information on the Lexington list and Anwell will update the <br />website with the details. Jessie will translate the information and <br />add it to the CAAL <br />❖The announcement will be sent more than once. <br />❖Steve suggested dividing the grantees between us, so we can <br />each have 2 or 3 grantees and act as a liaison and promote their <br />work over the course of their project. This will be discussed at <br />the next meeting. S <br />•Other topics/ ideas <br />❖Possible topics for our newsletter: <br />➢Dance around the World information
