Minnesota State Arts Board seeking reviewers for American Rescue Plan grant applications
The Arts Board needs involvement of Minnesota citizens – like YOU – from a variety of backgrounds to review American Rescue Plan grant applications remotely. These are general operating funds that can be used to help small and midsized Minnesota nonprofit arts organizations and arts affiliates rebuild and reopen as the COVID-19 pandemic wanes.
Reviewers will receive a modest financial stipend for their time providing feedback on applications and helping determine which will be recommended to receive funding. American Rescue Plan Grants will be distributed broadly, to help support the people and places that makeup the critical infrastructure of Minnesota's arts community.
In brief, reviewers can expect to:
Serve a three-week term remotely either February 7 - February 25, 2022, or February 28 – March 18, 2022
Participate in training sessions online
Read, score, and take notes on a set of 30-35 applications at your own pace using WebGrants online (no panel discussion required)
Spend, on average, 25-30 hours total
Receive a financial stipend of $200
