Priorities are below: 2023 Grant Priorities Theme: Connecting Salem to its Vast History The Council encourages applicants who would like to create a large permanent, semi- permanent, or enduring project that fits the theme to apply. We will consider committing a significant share or the majority of our funds to this type of project. • Applicants who reside, work, have an organization in Salem or have an established partnership with an organization based in Salem. • Programs that activate unexpected or underutilized canvases and performance spaces within the city of Salem. • Programs that take place in Salem or benefit the residents of Salem. • Programs that celebrate and promote the diversity of our community. • Programs that are educational and accessible for the community, regardless of age or ability. In addition to the state criteria, applications will be evaluated using the following review criteria: How well the program meets our local priorities Evidence of track record and dedication of the applicant Ability to address the diverse cultural needs of a community’s underserved populations Demonstrated planning (i.e., the ability to complete the project within the cycle year) Financial need Chair called for a vote by roll call, unanimously approved 6.
