Grant applications to the Marty Gear Costuming Arts and Sciences Fund are evaluated by independent panels of evaluators who are assigned by the Fund Committee. The evaluators are chosen from a pool whose members are appointed by the ICG President. The pool of evaluators includes the following ICG members:

• Jill Eastlake
• Elaine Mami
• Jacqui Ward
• Ken Warren

Members of a panel are assigned based on their qualification to evaluate the grant application. Panelists are not in a position to receive private benefit, directly or indirectly, as a result of their evaluation. Evaluators play no role in the administration of the Fund.

The criteria used by a panel to evaluate a grant application includes:

• the quality of the project or activity
• its impact on the intended audience
• the qualifications of the applicants
• whether the deliverables and benefits can be adequately measured
• the likelihood that the project will substantially achieve its objectives
