In doing so, the Board is not re-scoring individual applications or overriding community input. Instead, they are looking at the slate as a whole to ensure it meets BCYF’s public responsibilities and strategic commitments.

Specifically, the Board considers whether the recommended slate:

  • Faithfully reflects community review outcomes, including scores, feedback, and identified strengths.

  • Aligns with BCYF’s mission, values, and strategic priorities, including equity, youth impact, and community leadership.

  • Meets legal, fiduciary, and compliance requirements tied to public funding.

  • Maintains balance and reach across communities, issue areas, and organizational types as intended by the funding opportunity.

  • Is financially sound and sustainable, given available resources and budget constraints.

The Board’s approval is a final accountability step to ensure that community-informed recommendations can be responsibly funded and implemented—honoring community voice while upholding BCYF’s obligations as a public funder.
