Does the budget have to be spent at least over 3 years? Can it be used faster?

Kirby Impact FAQs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zDEbHKtao8kKVmDew4FCw-CM3_YuV3txgcAp_IG30o0/edit?usp=sharing Prize FAQs

Good morning! Would you accept applications from an institute or specific program within a University (with 501c3 status that met your min. budget requirement)?

What are your sector and geography priorities?

Hello and greetings from Romania. Following up on a really great question somebody addressed earlier: Would you take applications from organisations who have a third party in the US who can process donations? Could you please give us more info about this process and what exactly do you need in this situation?

Erin, you are breaking out for me

Can you show your top ten slide once again. There was a glitch as I am in Denmark and lost connection.

Can you please reiterate about the presence in U.S.A? Does the organization should have operation in U.S.A?

Will the full chat also be published on the Kirby website in the coming days, please?

Perfect, thanks!

Have you received interest from Arts-Education organizations in this prize in prior years?

I also am not entirely clear about the presence in the US. If say a third party applies on my behalf, do they apply as themselves or do we submit the application ourselves and simply mention them as our fiscal sponsor?

I meant the slide about your “Top Ten" things you want to see,

Robin, the slide deck will be posted on the Prize webpage: https://centers.fuqua.duke.edu/case/practitioners/f-m-kirby-impact-prize/

Thank you, Erin

ah great, thank you so much for the clarification, Erin

If someone hasn't already suggested, for that kind of applicant from outside the US, the classes of US orgs they can partner with might be helpful to list... 501(c)3 etc. Or preferred kinds of orgs...

What are some examples of good KPIs you like to see? What would you consider vanity metrics?

Is there a cap on the number of applicants you will accept? In other words, should we accelerate our application to the front of the window?

Have any arts based organizations been finalists, and can you list which ones - or which types of arts orgs made the cut? THanks.

We are accepting up to 250 applications for Phase 1

Thanks Erin!

For context, we received 134 completed applications last year. If we near the limit, we will send a message through the portal and on our webpage

What kind of accounts this has to be to receive funds in the U.S.A

Thank you for the presentation - need to jump off to another meeting. Good luck to all the orgs planning to apply!
