I found it a bit tough to get concrete answers from them about how to improve the strength of our application and have a better chance of being funded. However, I appreciate their commitment to equity in the County and think they do a good job of selecting a variety of projects to fund. Recently, they've started to require a DEI assessment, which can be a bit time-consuming, but every organization should have one at this point.

Pros
