Community Input Meeting

Since local cultural council members are responsible for distributing public dollars, councils need to solicit and collect local public opinion about how to best distribute funds. Most councils receive more requests than can be funded, and strong guidelines based on public feedback can help guide grant making decisions. Knowledge of resources (what's already happening in the community), interests (what the community values) and needs (who/what is not adequately served) can help councils make difficult decisions and encourage community-responsive proposals.
