U-GRO - Unbiased Grant Review Oversight program

We heard many, many requests from our Art Town Meetings for opportunities to learn how to write grant proposals. How does an artist or cultural organization learn how? By writing grants over and over again and with feedback, constructive criticism and encouragement. UGRO - Unbiased Grant Review Oversight program will enable participants to submit draft proposals to a community review panel (comprised of professional readers and/or grant writers). Grant writers will receive comments from this impartial committee and just in time to make corrections before their respective grant deadline. Although U-GRO does not offer participants any guarantees, participants will receive both positive and constructive criticism to move closer to a successful grant award.
