Seeking Grant Reviewers

Interested in helping to review minigrants? We need you! The Network seats a 7-10 member peer panel for each funding round. Panels reflect a cross section of multiple disciplines, communities and perspectives who evaluate each application and make funding recommendations based on MACC guidelines. We include new reviewers with each round. Commitment is to review and score 15-20 minigrant applications and participate in a 3-hour zoom meeting in late August. Interested? Contact arts@nwmiarts.net.
