First, applications are reviewed by staff for completeness and
eligibility. Only those eligible applications that are
complete will be referred to the panel.
Next, proposals are reviewed by a panel of experts in the
arts, art education professionals and individuals knowledgeable in
the arts. It is a competitive process, and some applications
may receive partial or no funding. (If partial funding is
received, applicants may be asked to submit for approval a revised
narrative and budget to show plans for implementing the
project.)
Based on the panel review rankings, funding
recommendations are made to the Tempe
Municipal Arts
Commission's
Grants Committee. This committee sends its recommendations to
the full commission.
The Tempe City Council receives the recommendation of the
full commission and has final approval on all grant
awards.
