Harmony should consider doing more industry-wide sponsorships because most of the times local organizers just put in a lot of shitty unrealistic metrics and they have an incredibly small reach tbh but make huge asks like the most expensive venue in their city or smth. Hopefully the grants will be more focused on quality of event, evaluating things like sponsor landscape, and previous experience of running something similar.
Happy to become a volunteer on Event grants team 
over 5 years of experience raising event sponsorship and I know how most sponsors evaluate what they throw cash $$ at .
