Subject: Most Valuable Partnership Grants - Rotary Club of Ocoee
Background Summary:
The Most Valuable Partnership Grants Program has been in operation for several years. The grant
program assists Ocoee neighborhoods and organizations with projects that will enhance property values
and improve the quality of life in Ocoee. The MVP grant program is a matching grant program held once
each year. The maximum matching grant award is $2,000.
The City Commission voted to award MVP grants to 11 organizations at the January 19, 2010 city
commission meeting. Each organization was awarded $909. The $909 each organization was awarded,
was divided equally from the $10,000 available for the MVP grants.
The Rotary Club of Ocoee submitted a MVP grant application before the deadline, however it was not
presented at the January 19 city commission meeting. They are requesting $2,000 to provide college
scholarships to Ocoee High School graduates.
Issue:
Should the City Commission approve the Rotary Club of Ocoee's MVP application?
Recommendations:
Based on the City Commission's decision to award grants to all of the 11 eligible organizations that applied,
staff respectfully recommends awarding a grant of $909 to the Rotary Club of Ocoee to be funded from
contingency.
