Which draft assumptions can we eliminate?

Confirm how assumptions fit with Strategic Outcomes for Promising and Sustaining Communities (group assumptions under this framework).

Review Grantee Feedback Worksheet to confirm if we've captured the desired follow up and implications for further strategy refinement.

Help to Tell the Folk Arts & Cultures Program "Story" - factors that underlie our theory, and include explanation of underpinnings of how/why we believe change will happen; principles or values embedded in the FAC work; contextual considerations that influence our ability to arrive at impact; etc.  We don't need to be exhaustive or overly detailed - what are the high points that others will need to know in order to understand what went into MACP thinking about how change happens?
