1. Rubric Scoring
The Committee has $735,000 to allocate for FY 20-21. Funding requests total
$1,451,311. The Committee was reminded of the methodology for allocating
funding for FY 18-19 when the funding allocation was significantly less than the total
funding requests.
All Committee members submitted completed rubrics with the exception of
Elizabeth. Scott consolidated the scores from these spreadsheets into a single
spreadsheet and made a scatter plot of the results.
There were three agencies that requested funding for capital expenditures or
marketing, which were determined to be ineligible forfunding consideration perthe
application instructions. These agencies/programs are: Community Enrichment
Initiatives MLK Community Kitchen; United Way of the Cape Fear Area Marketing &
Communications for New Hanover Disaster Coalition; and YMCA of Southeastern NC
Community Health Bus,
Soaring As Eagles Outreach Ministry received the second lowest score because it
was a duplicated service and the funding was primarily to support the Executive
Director's salary. Therefore, the Committee did not recommend any funding for this
program.
All programs recommended for funding were subject to a cap of $50,000. Subject to
the cap, the top scoring programs were recommended for 100% of their requested
amount; Tier 2 programs were recommended for 60% of their request; Tier 3
programs were recommended for 40% of their request; Tier 4 programs were
recommended for 20% of their request; and the Cameron Art Museum Wilmington
US Colored Troops Public Sculpture, which received the lowest score, was
recommended for the balance of the available funding of $2,453, Slight adjustments
were made within the tiers to account for those programs that have reported
performance issues during the current fiscal year.
The Committee is recommending total funding of $735,000 for FY20-21.
