Grant Panel Reviewer Interest Form

Mid-America Arts Alliance, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, offers multiple funding opportunities, including the Creative Forces Community Engagement Grant Program which requires adjudication by a panel of reviewers comprised of lay persons, as well as arts and military-connected professionals.

Mid-America Arts Alliance relies upon arts and human services leaders in the field to serve as reviewers for the Creative Forces Community Engagement Grants. Review of application materials will be web-based in February 2025 followed by a virtual reviewer meeting in March 2025. Reviewers are not expected to travel; however, each reviewer must be able to commit to independent review of applications in advance of the meeting which may take as many as 40 hours. Nominees must have a computer capable of browsing and online meetings as well as reliable internet access. Reviewers will receive an honorarium.  

If you have any questions, concerns or require special accommodation, please contact M-AAA program staff at CreativeForces@maaa.org.
