Each year the Arts Fort Worth enlists North Texas residents with special knowledge of the arts, education, nonprofit administration, and finance to review grant applications. Grants panelists play a crucial role in the grant-making process by acting as good stewards of public dollars, ensuring that funds are used wisely by evaluating applications with a critical and objective eye. In doing so, Grants Panels allow us to fulfill our mission of creating an environment that promotes, nurtures, and supports the arts in our community!
To get involved, first carefully review the job summary. Then complete a nomination form, either for yourself or for a friend, colleague, or peer you think might make a good panelist. Panelists will be offered stipends for their service.
