Calls for Community Grant Panelists​​

​

Metro Arts is seeking community members to serve as Grant Panelists! Panelists review and score applications to inform funding recommendations for Thrive Project and General Operating Support grants. No specific experience is required, but previous grant making, grant evaluation, or grant seeking experience is a plus. Panelists will attend an orientation, complete their reviews independently within an online review system, and attend one full day, in-person review panel. This is a paid opportunity, and selected panelists will receive a stipend of $595. Panelists play a critical part in Metro Arts grant cycles -- apply to be part of it!

​

Panelists must live in Davidson County, be at least 18 years old, have a demonstrated interest in the arts, and able to commit to the full requirements. Panelists will attend a required virtual orientation (September 2), independently review assigned applications, and attend an in-person review panel (September 11 or 12). Specific dates and times are in the panelist guidelines.

​

There are certain individuals who are not eligible to serve as a panelist, including Metro or MNPS employees, Commission or Commission committee members, individuals seeking a Metro Arts grant, or individuals with a business, financial, or familial relationship with someone seeking a Metro Arts grant. Carefully review the guidelines to ensure your eligibility.
