Internal Process for Under 15k Grant Assessment

We're waiting for Theatre Maker to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear WA Department of Culture and the Arts,

Could you please detail the specific process for assessing and funding grants, as administered by public servants.

It has come to my attention that over the past few years, applicants have experienced increased wait times, poor communication from Department staff, and inexplicable rejections.

As the Under 15k grants are issued on a rolling basis, there doesn't seem to be piblucly available data on the number of applicants in a certain "round", the dates of a specific round, how much money is available, and how many grants were approved/rejected.

It seems that your Department is currently doing a disservice to the WA arts community. High quality applicants are rejected, and the only feedback is that they submitted to a "highly competitive round". Where is the data to evidence this?

How are the grants processed and what are you doing to support local practitioners who constantly apply, and are rejected, without any sort of feedback or guidance?

Yours faithfully,
T. Maker

WA Department of Local Government, Sport, Cultural Industries

How to Fix It
The address may be misspelled or may not exist. Try one or more of the
following:
* Send the message again following these steps: In Outlook, open this
non-delivery report (NDR) and choose Send Again from the Report
ribbon. In Outlook on the web, select this NDR, then select the link
"To send this message again, click here." Then delete and retype the
entire recipient address. If prompted with an Auto-Complete List
suggestion don't select it. After typing the complete address, click
Send.
* Contact the recipient (by phone, for example) to check that the
address is correct.
* The recipient may have set up email forwarding to an incorrect
address. Ask them to check that any forwarding they've set up is
working correctly.
* Clear the recipient Auto-Complete List in Outlook or Outlook on the
web by following the steps in this article: [1]Fix email delivery
issues for error code 5.1.1 in Office 365, and then send the message
again. Retype the entire recipient address before selecting Send.

More Info for Email Admins
Status code 554 5.4.14

Typically this error occurs because the recipient email address is
incorrect or doesn't exist at the destination domain. This can usually be
fixed by the sender. However, sometimes the issue needs to be fixed by the
recipient or the recipient's email admin. If the steps in the How to Fix
It section above don't fix the problem, and you're the email admin for the
recipient, try one or more of the following:

The email address exists and is correct - Confirm that the recipient
address exists, is correct, and is accepting messages.

Synchronize your directories - If you have a hybrid environment and are
using directory synchronization make sure the recipient's email address is
synced correctly in both Office 365 and in your on-premises directory.

Errant forwarding rule - Check for forwarding rules that aren't behaving
as expected. A forwarding rule can be configured by an admin via mail flow
rules or mailbox forwarding address settings, or by the recipient via the
Inbox Rules feature.

Mail flow settings and MX records are not correct - Misconfigured mail
flow settings or MX records can cause this error. Check your Office 365
mail flow settings to make sure your domain and any mail flow connectors
are set up correctly. Also, work with your domain registrar to make sure
the MX records for your domain are configured correctly.

Mail loop detected - This error also indicates that the receiving
organization's email settings are misconfigured, creating a mail loop when
a message is sent to an address that isn't found in their directory. This
usually won't disrupt mail flow for recipients that actually exist, but
the recipient's email admin should fix the misconfiguration to reduce the
chance of any other mail flow issues. A common cause for this loop is that
the recipient's domain is configured as "Internal Relay" when it should be
"Authoritative." Another common cause for the loop is that both the sender
and recipient are part of the same organization, but the sender's mailbox
is hosted by Office 365, while the recipient's mailbox is hosted
on-premises, and an outbound connector from Office 365 to the on-premises
email servers is missing or misconfigured. To fix this, the recipient's
email admin should create a correctly configured outbound connector in
Office 365 to route the message to the on-premises mailbox.

For more information and tips to fix this problem, see [3]Fix email
delivery issues for error code 5.4.14 in Office 365.

Subject: Freedom of Information request - Internal Process for Under 15k
Grant Assessment

 

Dear WA Department of Culture and the Arts,

Could you please detail the specific process for assessing and funding
grants, as administered by public servants.

It has come to my attention that over the past few years, applicants have
experienced increased wait times, poor communication from Department
staff, and inexplicable rejections.

As the Under 15k grants are issued on a rolling basis, there doesn't seem
to be piblucly available data on the number of applicants in a certain
"round", the dates of a specific round, how much money is available, and
how many grants were approved/rejected.

It seems that your Department is currently doing a disservice to the WA
arts community. High quality applicants are rejected, and the only
feedback is that they submitted to a "highly competitive round". Where is
the data to evidence this?

How are the grants processed and what are you doing to support local
practitioners who constantly apply, and are rejected, without any sort of
feedback or guidance?

Yours faithfully,
T. Maker
