CFSJC Hosts Regional IAC Grant Review Panel on Wednesday, April 29

Through its Regional Arts Partnership with the Indiana Arts Commission (IAC), the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County will host two grant review panels open to the public on Wednesday, April 29, 2020. The panels will be held at 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. EST.

These panels will review IAC grant requests from St. Joseph, Elkhart, Fulton, Kosciusko, Marshall, and Starke counties. Each eligible grant application will be reviewed and scored by a conflict-free panel of professional peers.

Because of the present restrictions on public gatherings due to COVID-19, the panels will be conducted virtually, using the Zoom platform. Those who wish to observe must register in advance at https://www.in.gov/arts/2484.htm.

These panels are for observation only; applicants cannot lobby or address the panel before, during or after the panel meeting. Approximately 5-10 minutes will be spent on each application.
