If you have followed the steps outlined in this guidebook, you have
just determined how you will conduct the review and selection process,
and you have an idea of who will participate in the process and
what they will do. The final step in the review and selection process
is to make the announcement to the community as well as inform those
organizations that did not receive sub-awards.

Prior to making a community announcement, it is important not only to inform the applicants that did not receive an award but also to provide feedback on how they could improve their proposal for the next time. Some intermediary organizations provide one-on-one technical assistance to non-selected applicants over the phone or in a scheduled meeting at the applicant’s request. Other organizations provide a onetime "Debriefing Session" for non-selected applicants to review their proposals in a group format and provide individual consultations as requested. | ||||||||||||
After you have informed both the selected as well as the non-selected applicants, you may want to inform the community through a press release to local media outlets and media contacts with publications and newsletters serving the nonprofit and faith communities. In addition, you may want to consider holding a press conference with selected sub-awardee representatives. This is especially effective if your intermediary organization and the sub-awardees are concentrated in a particular community or area whose local media is eager for positive local stories.
