Evaluation Process
Annual and Student Grants
All Sachs Program Annual and Student Grants will be evaluated by committees.
Evaluating committees will reflect a range of expertise, including expertise relevant to the application pool, and may include previous grant recipients, students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members. No committee member may evaluate applications in which they are directly involved.
Committees will discuss the applications individually and in the context of the pool and may review work samples and other useful information during the discussion.
The Sachs Program for Art Innovation’s mission, priorities, and current program criteria will guide the evaluation conversation.
Committee decisions will be shared with The Sachs Program Advisory Board. The Sachs Program Advisory Board may weigh in on any decisions not settled by the committees. The Advisory Board will also help determine how many projects can be funded in a given year, aligning with The Sachs Program’s budget.
