Here are a few responses to some of the basic grant writing guidelines spelled out in the BCTC Grant Writing .pdf in the class notes:

! Before you even begin thinking about a specific grant,
answer each of the following six questions in writing:
" What is special or unique about your organization?
" Who is your community/constituency and what are its characteristics?
" How does your organization serve this community?
" Why is it important that your organization serve the community in this way?
" Why should your organization be supported?
" Who should support your organization?

- Our mixed media production is unique because it includes the use of interactive devices like the Kinect, that add to the audio and visual experience of the performance.

- The community that we want to reach includes students from Stony Brook, and members of the Native American community in and around New York City.

- The process of producing and performing this production serves the Native American community of New York by creating an atmosphere of openness and respect for a variety of dance and musical styles that can be enjoyed by people from different backgrounds.

- It is important to develop fine arts activities that generate interaction of people from different backgrounds and inspires an easy appreciation of different styles of music and art.

- This production should be supported because it's exceptional art.

- This production should be supported by students, faculty, artists, musicians, patrons of the arts, and philanthropists.
