Our agency operates on a panel review process, and so we're not able to, in many ways, to make designations based off of key priorities.
3:03:37
It would have to be that organizations come to us and they propose a project or a specific interest that they have in fulfilling said project, and we fund based on that.
3:03:49
But we don't have a criteria to say that we're going to fund x amount of arts and education grants or x amount of community based grants or x amount in that way.
3:03:58
It's more so something that comes about as organizations come forward and say this is something that they're interested in that they want to support, and the panel would read that application and make a designation in that way.
