Could you share whether there is a profile of the best type of advocate to select - grassroots community user, someone from peer organization, council member or other VIP?


Advocates can include community members, former board members, donors, peers, or beneficiaries of your organization including commissioned or presented artists or participants in your programs. The advocates should be selected on the basis of their capacity to advocate for your organization and provide additional perspective to your organization’s application narrative. Because you will invite two persons to advocate for your organization, consider how they bring different perspectives to their responses.
