Hi Kat,
The timeline would not work for me this year but am interested in participating in future panels if you have the need. Do you maintain a registry of panelists?
Best,

Subject: [Americans for the Arts] General Operating Support Grant Reviewers Needed
Dear Colleagues -
Fund for the Arts (Louisville, KY) is in need of grant reviewers for our Sustaining Impact Grant (general operating support) applications. A key consideration in building our reviewer panel is diversity of reviewers. We are reaching out
to you with an invitation to participate on the panel. Below is additional information about our process.
Will I be paid for my participation? Yes, we will provide a stipend of $400 as well as meals, hotel, and travel (mileage reimbursement or flight).
What is the review timeline? You will be provided access to the applications in mid-May. You will have approximately two weeks to submit your scores. The Grant Review Panel will take place on June 5 and 6, 2018 in Louisville, KY.
What is the review process? 21 organizations have submitted applications. All panelists will have approximately two weeks to read and score all applications via an online portal. Panelists will then come to Louisville for two days
to participate in the Grant Review Panel (made up of external reviewers and members of our Board), during which panelists will meet with all applicants to ask clarifying questions about the applications. After each applicant meets with the panel, the panelists
will submit their final scores.
How much of my time is required? We estimate that each application will require 1 to 2 hours to initially review and score. Additionally, you will spend time traveling to and from Louisville, KY and in the two-day Grant Review Panel
meetings. Prior to the panel meetings, we will host a call with the panelists to go over all review materials and answer any questions you may have.
You can learn more about the Fund’s Sustaining Impact Grants here:

If you are interested in participating on the panel, or know someone who may be interested, please contact me at 859-691-0319 or
kabner@fundforthearts.org. Once I hear from you, I will email you to schedule a follow up call to discuss in more detail.
Please reach out any time with the questions.
Best,
Kat Abner
