VOLUNTEER WITH COCA

Volunteer as a Grant Panelist

COCA seeks nominations from the public to fill volunteer grant panelist positions in its cultural grant program administered on behalf of the City of Tallahassee and Leon County. We are looking for a diverse group of community members with experience in one or more of the following areas: visual art, performing art, literary art, media art, museums, history and heritage, tourism, arts administration, arts education, or general knowledge of the Tallahassee community. Panelists attend a short orientation, review grant applications based upon specific guidelines, attend a half-day panel meeting with the applicants, and make funding recommendations. If you or someone you know would like to participate in this important (and informative!) process, please contact Holly Thompson at 850-224-2500 or download a nomination form.
