basis outside this area if the projects are Ohio-based
and reflect our priorities of interest.
The Quality of the Program
To evaluate a proposal, the following questions are
considered:

to meet the challenge of the proposal?

benefit the community?
- Will the program be carried out
in an efficient and effective manner?
- Is the budget complete and realistic?
- Are the objectives measurable
