Peer Panelits
This year 95 experts volunteered their time as peer panelists and chairs to carefully evaluate the program quality, outreach, audience development, management capacity and the fiscal health of each applicant for the PCF. The panel’s recommendations are used to help determine grant awards.
Role of the Peer Panel:
- Attend and fully participate in the deliberation session.
- Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the applications based on the grant criteria.
- Recommend to the Philadelphia Cultural Fund Board of Directors which applications should receive funding.
- Panelists’ recommendations are subject to final approval by the Board of Directors.
