Wright Department Director: e fr'iL, Contact Number: 407-905-3100 x9-1530 City Manager: r , Subject: Community Grant Program-January 2016 Cycle Background Summary: The Community Grant Review Board (CGRB) met on February 10, 2016 to discuss the 12 applications received for the Community Grant Program (formerly the Community Merit Awards Program). The Community Grant Program provides financial grants of up to $500 to non-profit organizations and civic groups located within the city limits or are located outside the city limits but benefit residents of Ocoee. The grant cycle is open twice yearly (January and July) to acknowledge excellence and further the contributions these local organizations bring to the Ocoee community. There is $5,000 allotted for this cycle of the Community Grant Program. The Community Grant Review Board recommended funding 8 organizations in the total amount of $4,000. The CGRB recommended the following three organizations do not receive grant funding: Camp Boggy Creek (would not be able to provide verification the grant would be used to benefit an Ocoee resident); Indian Horizon, Inc., (event proposed to be held in Ocoee was not confirmed); Standing Ovation Talent Group (was not able to provide information on how the grant would directly benefit Ocoee residents); and Xodus Prison Ministry (this organization is located in Clermont and would not be able to guarantee that a citizen of Ocoee would benefit from the grant funds) . Issue: Should the Mayor and Commissioners approve the $4,000 funding recommendation made by the Community Grant Review Board? Recommendations Staff respectfully requests that the Mayor and City Commission approve the Community Grant Review Board's recommendation.

"I will never forget one of the greatest men I have ever had the privilege to be inspired by.My senior year in high school,I was excited for my future.I had been accepted to the Florida A&M University College of Pharmacy.I was going to make my mom proud,and show her that her hard work as a single mother had paid off. Financial aid was critical to my dream,and mine was not yet approved.Seemingly unrelated,I played baritone horn in the school's band.One day,I mentioned to my Band Director, Mr.Kenneth Tolbert,my concerns over my financial aid.He said,'Son,you go to FAMU,and if your financial aid does not come through,call me,and I will take care of the situation.' In his direct,steady way,he opened a world of confidence with just a few words.I did receive financial aid, but I believe I became a pharmacist because I played baritone horn in my high school band,and an incredible person believed in me." • HAPCO tailors programs and projects to impact young people in our community- opening their eyes to the possibilities the arts offer them as individuals.We assist both individuals and community programs.
