There seems to be a "local profile" component to their selection, so folks new to the local music/art scene may be at a disadvantage

WEHF ensures that the burden of the grantmaking process is held primarily by their program staff. They let us submit a proposal that we wrote for a different funder and the reporting process was streamlined. The trust the have in their grantees is such a powerful gift.
