Grant Review Panelist


Requirements and Responsiblities

The Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture seeks knowledgeable, fair-minded and responsible individuals to serve as grant review panel members. Panelists are critical to the integrity of the grants process, and include laypersons as well as artists, arts professionals and educators, each representing different points of view and various cultural orientations.

The primary requirements and responsibilities of panelists are:

  • Time Panelists must be willing to spend the time required to make good decisions about grant applications.
  • Objectivity Panelists must be able to put aside personal biases and be fair in their assessments and decisions.
  • Knowledge Panelists will bring their understanding of the arts, arts education, non-profit management, and the community to help evaluate each application.
  • No Conflicts Panelists may not review applications from organizations with which they are associated.


The primary duties of panelists are:

  • Preparation Become familiar with all applications being reviewed by the panel. Thoroughly read the grant applications before the panel meeting. This will take several hours.
  • Ranking Panel meetings last from one-half day to a full day, depending on the number of applications received.Panelists discuss and rank each application. All rankings are done silently and remain anonymous. Panel meetings are open to the public, and applicants are encouraged to attend as observers.

The Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture maintains a database of individuals interested in serving on grant review panels. To be considered for inclusion on our panelist database, simply complete and submit the Panelist Interest Form:
