Dear HRC membership,
I am writing to express my concern regarding the selections for the high impact grants.
It seems to me that more impact would be made if grants went to more organizations. Many of the grants selected for
funding were quite large, and thus so many great applicants received no funding at all. I encourage you to consider
reducing the grant amounts so that you can fund more of the applicant proposals.
Secondly, as a person with a disability, I find it essential that grants focused on accessibility for people with disabilities
not be overlooked. Supporting access and inclusion for people with disabilities (25.6% identify as having a disability) is
essential, and I'm disappointed not to see this viewed and funded as a priority in our county.
Thank you for your consideration,
Jennifer
