Description

Applications for the Community Resilience Fund have reopened for one week. We have expanded eligibility for this grant and now invite nonprofit organizations that have been operating in Charlotte for two to four years specifically to apply. New applications will not be accepted for organizations who met the original eligibility criteria of 4+ years.

As a reminder, these grants are open to nonprofits that serve communities that have been financially and/or disparately impacted by COVID-19. The Community Resilience Fund prioritizes work that fosters racial equity and economic mobility in marginalized communities.

Nonprofits applying for these grants must work within the following areas of community resilience:

Housing and neighborhoods, such as:

  1. Fostering connections between neighbors
  2. Workforce development
  3. Supporting social safety networks
  4. Community education
  5. Risk reduction
  6. Housing stability for vulnerable residents
  7. Increased opportunities for youth and seniors
  8. Strengthening families

Equity and inclusion, such as:

  1. Breaking down barriers to inclusion in civic life
  2. Mitigating the impact racial segregation
  3. Economic inclusion & mobility
  4. Welcoming newcomers and refugees
  5. Accessibility
  6. Addressing system exclusion

Sustainability and environment, such as:

  1. Green initiatives
  2. Protecting and preserving the environment
  3. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions/ promoting clean air
  4. Supporting energy efficiency
  5. Promoting uptake of sustainable mode of transportation
  6. Supporting waste reduction

Non-profit organizations may submit applications for up to $250,000. Grants must be used to support general operating costs, including, but not limited to, staff, rent, supplies, general overhead, and more. Grants may not be used to cover capital costs, and requests cannot exceed 30% of the organization’s total budget. We expect that grant award notifications will be now be announced in early September.  This schedule is subject to change based on the actual number of new applications received.

0:02:22.440,0:02:27.180

for ensuring that that wish was clear and 

that we could share that information with you

 

0:02:27.780,0:02:33.420

this grant is intended to support non-profits 

that were impacted by or serve populations

 

0:02:33.420,0:02:39.000

that have been impacted by covid as so many of 

us have and I just want to finish my remarks

 

0:02:39.000,0:02:45.180

by thanking staff Jackie mentioned Pat Mason 

Jackie Claire and Lacey Williams have really

 

0:02:45.180,0:02:50.040

which is new to us and is reinvesting some

 

0:02:50.040,0:02:54.900

funds that just came back our way and so I 

want to thank them for their extraordinary

 

0:02:54.900,0:03:00.000

effort and I also want to ask your grace as we 

learn this grant together because it is brand

 

0:03:00.000,0:03:05.280

new and there may be some questions tonight that 

we need some time to research we will absolutely

 

0:03:05.280,0:03:11.220

get back to you with answers to those questions 

but without further Ado I turn it back to Jackie

 

0:03:12.240,0:03:17.460

all right thanks Nicole all right so I'm going 

to go ahead and share my screen with you all

 

0:03:22.020,0:03:22.800

foreign

 

0:03:29.460,0:03:30.420

all right

 

0:03:33.000,0:03:37.680

so Nicole has already kicked us 

off and shared some of the the

 

0:03:37.680,0:03:41.400

basic information with you 

about the about the program

 

0:03:42.540,0:03:51.240

um so I will not repeat um what she just said 

so we'll move on to um the next slide which

 

0:03:51.840,0:04:00.120

um I want to share there are grants up to 250 

000 available for your non-profit organizations

 

0:04:00.120,0:04:07.980

within three areas of community resilience and 

those three areas are housing and neighborhoods

 

0:04:07.980,0:04:16.140

equity and inclusion and sustainability and the 

environment and these bullet points are examples

 

0:04:16.140,0:04:23.340

of work within the area of community resilience 

however your organization might be doing other

 

0:04:23.340,0:04:29.640

work that meets those criteria so this is not 

meant to be an exclusive list it's simply to

 

0:04:29.640,0:04:36.300

give you some ideas of what type of things 

qualify under these three broad categories

 

0:04:38.760,0:04:46.260

so there are two tiers of funding available and 

small non-profits with operating budgets of up to

 

0:04:46.260,0:04:53.640

two hundred and fifty thousand dollars May request 

up to seventy five thousand dollars in funding and

 

0:04:53.640,0:05:00.120

medium to large non-profits with operating budgets 

over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars May

 

0:05:00.120,0:05:06.360

request up to two hundred and fifty thousand 

dollars um one note that I want to make here

 

0:05:06.360,0:05:13.140

is that your funding request should not exceed 

thirty percent of your total operating budget

 

0:05:15.120,0:05:21.540

and there are two pools um of funding so 

small nonprofits the total award pool is

 

0:05:21.540,0:05:28.500

one million dollars and for the medium to large 

nonprofits the award pool is 1.5 million dollars

 

0:05:32.340,0:05:39.480

so like all Grant programs there are eligibility 

requirements that all organizations must meet

 

0:05:40.500,0:05:46.680

um so your organization needs to serve a public 

good and you must have been operating in the

 

0:05:46.680,0:05:53.160

city of Charlotte for four consecutive years and 

your work must align with one of those areas of

 

0:05:53.160,0:05:59.400

community resilience so as a reminder that was 

housing in neighborhoods equity and inclusion

 

0:05:59.400,0:06:06.480

or sustainability and the environment 

your organization needs to be a 501c3

 

0:06:06.480,0:06:15.180

or under the fiscal sponsorship of a 501c3 

tax exempt organization and if you are using

 

0:06:15.180,0:06:22.020

a fiscal sponsor your sponsor's mission must 

relate to yours to your organization's mission

 

0:06:22.800,0:06:30.360

you will need to have filed a current form 

990 and for small organizations whose gross

 

0:06:30.360,0:06:36.300

receipts are up to fifty thousand dollars 

um you are not required to file a 990 but

 

0:06:36.300,0:06:45.780

you do need to submit a 990 n we will accept 

a 990 n or a 990 as the required documentation

 

0:06:47.040,0:06:52.020

your organization should have an operating 

budget of at least twenty thousand dollars

 

0:06:52.020,0:06:58.440

and you'll need to be able to demonstrate that 

your organization works with individuals or

 

0:06:58.440,0:07:06.840

communities that have been impacted by covid-19 

or provide proof of operation within eligible

 

0:07:06.840,0:07:13.800

census tracts and those are shown in Blue 

on the map to the right side of your screen

 

0:07:17.760,0:07:26.700

some additional considerations because these 

grants are federal funds all organizations

 

0:07:26.700,0:07:35.760

must register with sam.gov and provide a unique 

entity ID and expiration date in the application

 

0:07:37.080,0:07:44.460

um the third bullet point here only 

applies to organizations that expand 750

 

0:07:44.460,0:07:54.780

000 or more in federal funds in one year from 

all sources including the CRF if awarded so if

 

0:07:54.780,0:07:59.940

that applies to your organization you 

are required to obtain a single audit

 

0:08:00.480,0:08:08.820

and then lastly funds cannot be passed through to 

another organization unless using a formal fiscal

 

0:08:08.820,0:08:16.440

sponsor so they can't be used for membership fees 

or sub-granting and again These funds are for

 

0:08:16.440,0:08:23.340

General operating support and program expenses 

and so they may not be used for Capital costs

 

0:08:27.360,0:08:34.980

so this is the list of required documents that 

you will upload in the application so you'll

 

0:08:34.980,0:08:42.780

need to pull together your operating budgets 

from 2021 22 and 23. your current board of

 

0:08:42.780,0:08:52.320

directors roster your IRS determination letter um 

or if you're using a fiscal sponsor your fiscal

 

0:08:52.320,0:08:58.620

sponsor award letter and the spot or not a 

board letter but agreement letter and your

 

0:08:58.620,0:09:10.140

sponsors IRS determination letter again your 

990 or your 990 and and the unique Sam unique

 

0:09:10.140,0:09:16.440

identity ID number and the expiration date 

that Sam ID number is a tongue twister sorry

 

0:09:19.260,0:09:26.580

so the Sam registration is online 

at sam.gov and this is a two-step

 

0:09:26.580,0:09:34.620

process so if you haven't done this before the 

first step is to sign up online and signing up

 

0:09:34.620,0:09:42.900

means getting an account and setting up 

a profile on sam.gov also from this page

 

0:09:42.900,0:09:48.660

you may also renew registrations 

if you already have an ID number

 

0:09:51.360,0:09:59.580

so once you've signed up the second step is 

to register to become certified to receive

 

0:09:59.580,0:10:05.580

grants from the federal government and this 

page might be too tiny to see but there are

 

0:10:05.580,0:10:10.680

several questions that you'll be required 

to answer and they're mostly related to

 

0:10:10.680,0:10:18.660

your organization's financial information your 

tax ID number and details and excuse me your

 

0:10:18.660,0:10:23.820

business contact information and contact 

information for your executive director

 

0:10:24.720,0:10:32.700

it's really important to register early according 

to the Sam website it takes 10 to 15 business days

 

0:10:32.700,0:10:39.120

to get your full registration processed and 

it may take longer if they have any questions

 

0:10:39.120,0:10:46.920

or there are any problems or issues with your 

registration so do that is as early as you can

 

0:10:49.800,0:10:58.500

so once you've determined your eligibility and 

you have your Sam ID number in process you will

 

0:10:58.500,0:11:05.400

be ready to apply and so the application 

process is sort of a multi-step process

 

0:11:06.360,0:11:13.980

um so the first thing that you're going to do 

is navigate to the online application and I'm

 

0:11:13.980,0:11:19.500

going to show you that in a moment and you 

will either register as a new organization

 

0:11:19.500,0:11:27.060

or if you already have an account with us you'll 

use your login credentials to log into the portal

 

0:11:28.500,0:11:36.720

um if you do have a previous record you'll 

want to make sure that as the applicant you

 

0:11:36.720,0:11:44.340

as the individual you want to make sure that your 

profile information is current and up to date and

 

0:11:44.340,0:11:49.920

you're also going to want to make sure that 

your organization info is up to date as well

 

0:11:50.820,0:11:59.040

the grant is or Grant application is currently 

open and it will be open until 5 PM on June 30th

 

0:11:59.040,0:12:06.660

so you've got most of the month throughout the 

rest of the month to get your application in

 

0:12:07.980,0:12:14.940

um the applications will be reviewed by a 

committee made up of City staff and community

 

0:12:14.940,0:12:25.080

members you'll be notified of your award status in 

August and you will also be if you are awarded a

 

0:12:25.080,0:12:33.180

grant you will be invited to attend an orientation 

session and you will also sign a contract with

 

0:12:33.180,0:12:39.780

the city of Charlotte once your contract is 

signed the first grant installment will be

 

0:12:39.780,0:12:48.000

paid in approximately 45 days once a contract is 

executed and we've received your submitted invoice

 

0:12:50.760,0:12:55.860

so as I mentioned the applications 

must be submitted on the grants portal

 

0:12:56.460,0:13:02.880

um here are some screenshots of what that 

looks like and the easiest way to find the

 

0:13:02.880,0:13:13.800

Portal is to navigate to Charlotte nc.gov and 

search for CRF in the search bar on the website

 

0:13:14.640,0:13:21.420

and that's where most of you found the link to 

register tonight so on that main page for the

 

0:13:21.420,0:13:29.040

community resilience fund Grant at the 

bottom of that page is a link that says

 

0:13:29.580,0:13:35.700

um Grant portal so you're going to click 

on that link and that will bring you to

 

0:13:35.700,0:13:41.040

the portal and once you're there you'll 

either click on the link to create a new

 

0:13:41.040,0:13:47.640

account or to log in if your organization 

already does have have an account with us

 

0:13:50.700,0:13:56.700

so as I mentioned you want to make sure that your 

applicant details are complete and accurate on

 

0:13:56.700,0:14:01.860

the dashboard if you need to make any changes 

you're going to click on those pencil icons

 

0:14:02.760,0:14:09.240

um to write of applicant or to the right of the 

organization name and then when you're ready

 

0:14:09.240,0:14:15.900

to apply um you want to navigate to the apply 

button at the top of the page on that green menu

 

0:14:17.520,0:14:25.980

um the one thing that I want to point out on 

the application page there are multiple grant

 

0:14:25.980,0:14:32.280

opportunities um that you can see and apply 

to the ones that are open you want to make

 

0:14:32.280,0:14:38.700

sure that you click on the apply button for the 

community resilience fund um because the grant

 

0:14:38.700,0:14:43.920

applications are different so if you click on 

the neighborhood matching grants or on any of

 

0:14:43.920,0:14:50.040

those other applications that you see you'll get 

a different set of questions and it won't make

 

0:14:50.040,0:14:56.400

sense so just be careful to click on the apply 

button for the community resilience fund Grant

 

0:15:00.000,0:15:05.340

so um on the next slide these are these

 

0:15:05.340,0:15:12.000

um the scoring criteria and so we just want you to 

keep these in mind when writing your application

 

0:15:13.200,0:15:21.840

um so the questions that you'll be asked to fill 

out will help the Review Committee determine um

 

0:15:21.840,0:15:29.760

the vulnerable vulnerability and need both of your 

organization and of the communities that you serve

 

0:15:29.760,0:15:37.620

they'll tell us to what extent your organization 

is serving a person's disproportionately affected

 

0:15:37.620,0:15:45.420

by the pandemic how many people your organization 

is serving and How Deeply those people are being

 

0:15:45.420,0:15:53.580

served um they're also looking at the strength 

the category strength um so to what extent is

 

0:15:53.580,0:16:01.560

the organization's Mission and programming tied to 

those fundable um CRF categories that we discussed

 

0:16:03.000,0:16:08.940

um the impact of covid so to what extent 

has your organization been affected by covid

 

0:16:09.780,0:16:16.920

um the ask slash burden proportionality is 

the amount requested proportional to the

 

0:16:16.920,0:16:24.540

impact of covid-19 on the population that you 

serve and then they'll also be reviewing all

 

0:16:24.540,0:16:30.720

of the eligibility criteria to make sure 

that all of those criteria are being met

 

0:16:34.200,0:16:42.960

so after your application has been 

approved if if you are granted an award

 

0:16:43.920,0:16:48.780

um we want to talk to a little bit 

about the next steps involved so if

 

0:16:48.780,0:16:56.220

you're awarded a grant you will complete vendor 

registration in the city's registration system

 

0:16:57.600,0:17:01.560

um you'll also need to submit a 

current Certificate of Insurance

 

0:17:02.400,0:17:10.620

and you'll attend contract signing and Grant 

orientation the date for this is still to be

 

0:17:10.620,0:17:18.360

determined um we will let you know when that 

is as soon as we as soon as we can it's largely

 

0:17:18.360,0:17:25.860

related to the number of applications that the 

Review Committee will need to to review so we'll

 

0:17:25.860,0:17:32.040

try to get back to you as soon as possible 

and let you know um if your Grant has your

 

0:17:32.040,0:17:37.380

Grant application has been approved and when the 

contract signing and orientation will be held

 

0:17:40.380,0:17:48.900

percent of your award in that first payment

 

0:18:21.480,0:18:28.380

um when you submit your subsequent um 

reports that's when you'll also submit

 

0:18:28.380,0:18:35.460

your next invoices so those will be due 

quarterly so 30 each time until the final

 

0:18:35.460,0:18:42.060

report and then you'll receive the final 10 

that will be remaining in your Grant award

 

0:18:43.320,0:18:50.700

um you'll be required to complete quarterly 

reports and schedule check-in meetings with

 

0:18:50.700,0:18:56.760

a member of our community engagement team and 

so in those meetings you'll discuss with your

 

0:18:57.360,0:19:02.700

um with your liaison um any challenges 

you're having with your project you'll

 

0:19:02.700,0:19:08.700

share your successes and opportunities and 

also share any upcoming events and whatever

 

0:19:08.700,0:19:16.380

support that you may need so our team is here to 

help you along the way if you have any questions

 

0:19:17.820,0:19:23.220

um you know just feel free to reach 

out to us at any time so that we can

 

0:19:23.220,0:19:27.540

help you be successful with your 

with your Grant implementation

 

0:19:30.180,0:19:40.860

once your Grant is complete in about a year you 

will submit a final report and in the final report

 

0:19:42.060,0:19:47.760

um you'll report on your um the number of 

community members served and really show what

 

0:19:47.760,0:19:55.080

the community impact was by having the grant um 

how did the grant dollars help your organization

 

0:19:55.080,0:20:03.600

stabilize Revenue over the last year and then we'd 

like to see a narrative of two success stories

 

0:20:03.600,0:20:11.880

that you can either fully or partially attribute 

to the city of Charlotte's organization support

 

0:20:13.080,0:20:16.800

um and then our staff may follow 

up with you for further details

 

0:20:17.820,0:20:26.400

um once we receive that final report um so 

hopefully this isn't too too daunting I know

 

0:20:27.180,0:20:30.960

um federal grants have do have 

a lot of requirements and it may

 

0:20:31.860,0:20:41.520

um sound um scary and daunting but hopefully um 

we've you know shared that it's um not too much

 

0:20:41.520,0:20:49.020

information to compile and we are here to uh 

to help you again every every step of the way

 

0:20:50.160,0:20:56.640

um so I know that there are lots of questions 

um so we will open it up now to questions

 

0:20:59.160,0:21:05.460

and so I'm gonna stop sharing my screen so 

I can see I did see a few things in chat

 

0:21:06.840,0:21:10.080

um so let's see where's the stop sharing button

 

0:21:12.540,0:21:13.140

there we go

 

0:21:15.360,0:21:23.880

all right so if you have questions just go ahead 

and use the um and raise feature and I will

 

0:21:24.420,0:21:34.200

um crawl on you as as I see you so um Matt 

Olin go ahead thank you Jackie appreciate it

 

0:21:34.200,0:21:39.360

I have two questions um one is probably one 

that's on most people's minds which is that

 

0:21:39.360,0:21:44.100

if if a non-profit makes a request that 

is more than what is available in in the

 

0:21:44.100,0:21:51.120

pool can the city choose to award you know the 

non-profit less than they requested or do you

 

0:21:51.120,0:21:56.220

know what I'm saying or or do you get eliminated 

if you've asked for more than uh is is available

 

0:21:58.380,0:22:04.020

um Nicole I would say that partial funding 

could be available would you agree with

 

0:22:04.560,0:22:10.080

with that assessment uh let me make sure that 

I understand the question Matt are you asking

 

0:22:10.080,0:22:15.780

if a non-profit can ask for an overall award 

more than what stated in the program guidelines

 

0:22:15.780,0:22:21.240

or are you asking if we run out of money and 

there's partial funds left if we will give a

 

0:22:21.240,0:22:25.860

second round yeah depending on what the total 

sum of the asks are from all the non-profits

 

0:22:25.860,0:22:30.600

can the city choose to offer smaller Awards 

than what the nonprofits actually asked for

 

0:22:32.100,0:22:39.660

it is generally not our practice to reduce the 

amounts requested because often it changes the

 

0:22:39.660,0:22:45.480

nonprofit's ability to deliver the the service or 

um the service that they provided the being that

 

0:22:45.480,0:22:51.060

these are operating grants I think there's 

opportunity to consider that um let us do a

 

0:22:51.060,0:22:56.400

little bit of thinking on that and and some of our 

response might be depending on how much interest

 

0:22:56.400,0:23:01.380

we get in this grant we have 100 participants 

in this webinar so we're really expecting and

 

0:23:01.380,0:23:07.980

hopeful for a lot of interest but let us work on 

that and do not let the answer to that question

 

0:23:07.980,0:23:12.360

dissuade you from applying if you are interested 

we're going to do all that we can to support

 

0:23:12.360,0:23:18.720

to support as many entities as we can thank you 

Nicole and it was indeed it's the fact that these

 

0:23:18.720,0:23:24.480

are operating uh Grant support grants that should 

have triggered the question for me on my second

 

0:23:24.480,0:23:28.920

and final question is you know the and you may not 

know the answer to this you know the pending debt

 

0:23:28.920,0:23:35.340

ceiling bill would would theoretically rescind 

about 28 billion in unspent coveted relief funds

 

0:23:35.340,0:23:41.400

do you anticipate that any of these funds would 

be jeopardized by by the terms of that uh bill

 

0:23:42.060,0:23:48.120

we're definitely unable to answer that question 

at this time but if if that should impact us

 

0:23:48.120,0:23:51.840

we'll certainly take appropriate action to 

consider what funds we do have available

 

0:23:52.740,0:24:00.660

awesome thanks appreciate it all right 

Angela Allen hey Jackie thank you

 

0:24:01.560,0:24:08.400

um I was wanting to follow up on the comment that 

was just made about operating funds that Matt said

 

0:24:08.400,0:24:15.120

Can can we talk a little bit more about that I 

just want to be clear that the expectation is

 

0:24:15.120,0:24:23.820

that we're going to be applying for Opera overall 

operating funds and not specific programs right

 

0:24:24.720,0:24:29.700

right so it can be used toward 

programs but it needs to be

 

0:24:30.600,0:24:39.720

um no Capital funding so it needs to be 

salaries um you know programs overhead uh

 

0:24:39.720,0:24:45.540

supplies you know things of that nature 

just no Capital expenses can be included

 

0:24:49.800,0:24:58.980

did that answer the question yes 

thank you I appreciate it okay um JB

 

0:25:03.060,0:25:13.500

yes thank you um I had a couple questions about 

the 990. yes uh for physical sponsorship um is

 

0:25:13.500,0:25:22.980

it is a 990 required for the organization that is 

being sponsored or are we saying that the 990 from

 

0:25:22.980,0:25:31.080

the physical sponsor um actually provides their 

990 um just trying to get clarity around that

 

0:25:33.000,0:25:40.320

um Pat correct me if I'm if I'm wrong but 

the 990 is for the applicant not for the

 

0:25:40.320,0:25:47.820

fiscal sponsor is that correct Pat yes 

you're correct Jackie okay thank you

 

0:25:50.100,0:25:56.820

okay so what's the 990 for the actual or 

because I I was on an impression that 990s

 

0:25:56.820,0:26:03.240

were only four 501 c3s um non-profits 

so if you're being physically sponsored

 

0:26:04.440,0:26:07.800

um as an applicant I don't 

know if we would actually have

 

0:26:08.520,0:26:14.460

you know a 990 because we actually are requesting 

a physical sponsor does that make sense

 

0:26:15.300,0:26:21.120

um if we had a 990 we wouldn't need a physical 

sponsor is kind of what I'm saying okay Pat

 

0:26:21.120,0:26:27.660

can you field that question for us uh yes hi 

JB yeah your 990 could be from your physical

 

0:26:27.660,0:26:32.880

sponsor if that's the case we would like to see 

the agreement that you have with the with your

 

0:26:32.880,0:26:37.740

physical sponsorship it costs most agencies 

that have physical sponsors do have a written

 

0:26:37.740,0:26:43.200

agreement that layout roles of responsibilities 

of that physical sponsor with that agency

 

0:26:45.420,0:26:46.440

okay thank you

 

0:26:49.320,0:26:57.300

all right so next question we'll take is from 

Eric yes thank you Jackie uh just a clarifying

 

0:26:57.300,0:27:03.720

question about the operating budgets that are 

required to be uploaded uh for those of us who

 

0:27:03.720,0:27:10.200

are on a fiscal year that is not uh January 

to December in our case it's July to June so

 

0:27:10.200,0:27:17.700

um for example 2023 operating budget would 

that be for the fiscal year 23-24 or for 22.23

 

0:27:18.900,0:27:35.940

foreign I would say whether um if you're 

on a fiscal year um for 2020 324 22 wait

 

0:27:37.500,0:27:42.300

um just the last three years your current 

operating budget your operating budget from

 

0:27:42.300,0:27:48.000

last year and the one before that so however that 

that works out whether that's calendar year or

 

0:27:48.000,0:27:54.900

fiscal year um yeah start with your current and 

go back two years okay okay so we are wrapping

 

0:27:54.900,0:28:00.000

up a fiscal year now at the end of this month 

so it would be for this current year and going

 

0:28:00.000,0:28:06.780

backwards not the budget that we're working on for 

the for the new fiscal year that'll start July 1.

 

0:28:06.780,0:28:15.180

exactly you're right you're right on point 

okay thank you thank you um Stephanie

 

0:28:17.220,0:28:25.500

yes thank you Jackie um I had two questions one 

had to do with um the disbursement of the funds

 

0:28:25.500,0:28:33.900

if one is awarded um I maybe I missed a step when 

you guys talked about the 30 percent does does

 

0:28:33.900,0:28:41.220

that mean the invoices that we would be submitting 

would need to equal 30 of the grant award correct

 

0:28:41.220,0:28:46.620

okay so we need to make sure we're spending 

it in that fashion okay just want to make sure

 

0:28:47.520,0:28:54.180

um and then the second question I came in just a 

smidge late I was having issues with zoom and um I

 

0:28:54.180,0:29:01.200

thought I heard you say something about those you 

know those categories of um of services and and

 

0:29:01.200,0:29:08.280

issues that you guys are interested in I wanted to 

see if I thought I heard you said something like

 

0:29:08.880,0:29:19.320

um their suggestions are those hard and fast 

categories or the three categories are are but

 

0:29:19.320,0:29:27.420

the the bullet points underneath are just to give 

you ideas for what falls under each category so

 

0:29:27.420,0:29:34.080

you might be doing different work that falls 

under you know those headings and that's okay

 

0:29:34.080,0:29:38.400

so if what you do isn't doesn't have its own 

bullet point that doesn't mean that it doesn't

 

0:29:38.400,0:29:46.560

count it's not meant to be an exclusive list okay 

great thank you so much you're welcome um Maria

 

0:29:52.440,0:29:58.980

sorry hi good afternoon I have a couple 

of questions is this a one-time Grant or

 

0:29:58.980,0:30:08.400

something that we can reapply this is a one-time 

Grant okay and how much time do we have is we we

 

0:30:08.400,0:30:15.780

have the funds uh we are awarded we have to 

use the funds uh for the fiscal year that we

 

0:30:15.780,0:30:23.160

are in 23 24 in this case or we can extend 

the amount of money for the next fiscal year

 

0:30:24.780,0:30:33.600

um it's one year so four four payments uh 

quarterly so it's a one-year Grant okay and

 

0:30:33.600,0:30:39.840

for the report and this is my final question 

um it needs to be something specific about

 

0:30:39.840,0:30:48.660

the outcome for example I am I'm in the uh 

preschool uh educational area and so it's

 

0:30:48.660,0:30:56.760

um evidence-based assessment report data that we 

have to present as an outcomes or how that works

 

0:30:59.100,0:31:04.980

um Nicole can you help me out with with that I 

apologize I was answering a question in the chat

 

0:31:04.980,0:31:10.980

can you repeat the question please yes um I'm I'm 

the director of preschool so for all the grants

 

0:31:10.980,0:31:17.580

that we already got in the past I always have to 

report in base of outcomes that are evidence-based

 

0:31:17.580,0:31:24.000

so on assessment that are evidence-based in this 

case it's the same thing how are the outcomes

 

0:31:24.900,0:31:30.780

um what requirement for the outcomes 

on the reports that you guys asked for

 

0:31:30.780,0:31:36.960

yeah great question um the city has worked hard 

to try to provide as much flexibility as possible

 

0:31:36.960,0:31:42.180

within this grant uh within the the recognition 

that we are investing public dollars and have a

 

0:31:42.180,0:31:48.240

stewardship responsibility to do that well um 

so in terms of outcomes I think you have some

 

0:31:48.240,0:31:53.940

flexibility to decide what that means to you 

specific to your organization because all of

 

0:31:53.940,0:31:57.900

the nonprofits represented and funded are 

probably going to do a pretty wide variety

 

0:31:57.900,0:32:04.740

of things and so the evidence evidence-based 

requirement is not part of our guidelines but

 

0:32:04.740,0:32:10.500

we may have some follow-up questions for you 

upon a receipt of the grantees applications

 

0:32:10.500,0:32:19.500

to help us arrive at a better definition 

thank you of course all right uh Shamira

 

0:32:22.260,0:32:27.360

yeah so I just wanted to um clarify I'm vice 

president of the Urban League here in Charlotte

 

0:32:27.360,0:32:32.580

and we are a Fiscal Agent for smaller nonprofits 

that have budgets under a certain amount of money

 

0:32:32.580,0:32:40.440

so when they go and apply for federal grants we're 

allowed to submit our 990 because they don't have

 

0:32:40.440,0:32:47.880

enough money to file a 9.94 an audit um so I want 

to make sure in this case like just to clarify

 

0:32:47.880,0:32:54.720

if anybody is using a Fiscal Agent and I think 

Patricia may have touched on it but um I didn't

 

0:32:54.720,0:33:01.620

hear the response the Fiscal Agent is allowed 

to submit their 990 for the smaller non-profit

 

0:33:01.620,0:33:10.500

is that correct yes that is correct Samira okay 

um just just as long as they have a they provide

 

0:33:10.500,0:33:17.160

us with the written agreement that you have with 

that with the organization because a lot of the uh

 

0:33:17.160,0:33:24.060

organizations since they don't have a um their 

501c3 there should be a written agreement that

 

0:33:24.060,0:33:30.720

lays out the roles and responsibilities to other 

Fiscal Agent okay perfect and my last question and

 

0:33:30.720,0:33:35.040

I apologize because I'm doing laundry I'm sure 

you hear that um my last question that I have

 

0:33:35.040,0:33:41.460

is in the realm of the Workforce Development under 

the Community resilience Branch um is there a data

 

0:33:41.460,0:33:47.340

metrics that will be linked to job outcomes or do 

you not have those data metric numbers as of yet

 

0:33:49.920,0:33:58.860

I will need to um get back to you on that no I 

don't have those numbers um right yet so I'll

 

0:33:58.860,0:34:03.240

make a note because I just didn't know if it was 

going to be based on like say if we applied and we

 

0:34:03.240,0:34:08.820

say that with this funding we can serve 75 people 

and out of that 75 people we can make sure that

 

0:34:08.820,0:34:14.760

70 of them get placed into a job is that going to 

be what the metrics is like do we Define what a

 

0:34:14.760,0:34:21.540

research and evaluation will look like for this 

or do you all Define that for us Nicole can you

 

0:34:21.540,0:34:27.840

help us out with that you will Define that there's 

just no way that we can pattern um a requirement

 

0:34:27.840,0:34:33.960

based on all of the wonderful things that this 

group does okay does that need to be included in

 

0:34:33.960,0:34:37.920

the grant what the out what we anticipate the 

outcomes would be if we are awarded the funds

 

0:34:39.840,0:34:47.220

Jackie I believe that is a question in the 

application can you confirm um I will yes yeah

 

0:34:56.400,0:35:01.620

and while she's looking at that um and I just 

want to ask about application strengtheners

 

0:35:02.220,0:35:06.540

um are you all looking for part letters of 

partnership like we were to partner with a

 

0:35:06.540,0:35:10.920

smaller non-profit would that strengthen our 

application or if we were to partner with say

 

0:35:11.940,0:35:16.020

um other Workforce Development agencies 

or Consultants that are doing this work

 

0:35:16.680,0:35:19.380

um is that something that could strengthen 

our application or would that hurt us

 

0:35:25.140,0:35:31.200

and and that's another question for Jackie 

specific to the scoring criteria so what will give

 

0:35:31.200,0:35:37.500

her moment to bring that information up on letters 

of partnership and participation that I don't

 

0:35:37.500,0:35:42.840

believe will ever hurt you um in applying for uh 

grants particularly with the city of Charlotte

 

0:35:43.980,0:35:47.400

um in terms of if they'll strengthen 

your application you'll just have to

 

0:35:47.400,0:35:53.040

decide if you think that is um the 

the best path forward again because

 

0:35:53.040,0:35:56.760

this is a grant for operating funds 

it's a little bit different than if

 

0:35:56.760,0:36:03.480

you were endeavoring as a catalyst to a new 

programming or an additional non-profit so

 

0:36:03.480,0:36:08.100

um I don't know that the partnership is as 

important for operating grants but it definitely

 

0:36:09.060,0:36:15.180

um would help to to address that component of 

the application of where you are serving at a

 

0:36:15.180,0:36:20.340

spirit impact due to covid yeah because I mean 

it may be a partnership where we try to employ

 

0:36:21.180,0:36:26.040

um employees from smaller nonprofits that can't 

afford operational expenses so I just wanted to

 

0:36:26.040,0:36:31.260

ask before I made that a part of the application 

but thank you so much great questions and I'm just

 

0:36:31.260,0:36:37.500

going to re-share my screen for another moment and 

share the questions application questions with you

 

0:36:38.340,0:36:46.260

um these are available online on the um when 

you go to the application portal on the right

 

0:36:46.260,0:36:55.260

hand side of that screen you'll see something that 

says CRF application or guidelines and questions

 

0:36:55.260,0:37:03.540

if you click on that you'll you'll get a copy 

of the guidelines and the the questions so in

 

0:37:03.540,0:37:09.600

the application you'll be asked to describe your 

mission your programming the communities that your

 

0:37:09.600,0:37:17.700

organization serves um the impact of covid on the 

communities that you serve you'll choose one of

 

0:37:17.700,0:37:28.140

the um Community resilience fund themes that most 

closely aligns with your work and you'll describe

 

0:37:28.140,0:37:36.060

how it how it connects you'll talk about how many 

people annually are served and then you'll put

 

0:37:36.060,0:37:41.580

in your funding amount and remember that can 

be up to 30 percent of your operating budget

 

0:37:43.080,0:37:48.840

um your request should be proportionate to the 

hardship caused by covid-19 to the community

 

0:37:48.840,0:37:58.560

served and so you'll want to discuss how that is 

proportionate and how the dollars will be used

 

0:37:58.560,0:38:04.620

to support the organization in continuing 

to serve vulnerable vulnerable populations

 

0:38:05.820,0:38:13.020

and then you'll describe your organization's 

Financial situations so you'll Define

 

0:38:13.020,0:38:18.540

it I'm using these definitions 

stable threatened or vulnerable

 

0:38:21.420,0:38:29.400

um how you will um stabilize or continue 

stabilizing Revenue to operate past this

 

0:38:29.400,0:38:37.260

grant cycle so once the grant funds are expended 

how will you continue on and if you require a

 

0:38:37.260,0:38:45.780

fiscal sponsor then you'll upload the agreement 

letter and the details for that and then we talked

 

0:38:45.780,0:38:52.920

about the documentation so your board roster the 

IRS determination letter for you or your fiscal

 

0:38:52.920,0:39:02.820

sponsor a copy of the agreement if applicable 

and then the um either your 990 or your fiscal

 

0:39:02.820,0:39:10.140

sponsors 990 and then the three operating 

budgets and then the arpa requirements so

 

0:39:10.140,0:39:17.700

your unique entity ID and expiration date 

and then the application also lists the

 

0:39:18.720,0:39:25.140

um the payment schedule there for you 

as well and the reporting requirements

 

0:39:30.240,0:39:37.800

okay all right so we'll continue answering 

questions Ken do you want to go next

 

0:39:38.640,0:39:46.260

yes thank you um I'm Ken Trader with re-entry 

housing Alliance the first criteria you have the

 

0:39:46.260,0:39:52.560

for all organizations to qualify is to serve 

the public um and operating in Charlotte for

 

0:39:52.560,0:39:58.320

four consecutive years RHA has been a 501c3 

for just over a year but we've been operating

 

0:39:58.320,0:40:05.820

in the community for over five years does that 

work is that still qualifies yes um yes so you

 

0:40:05.820,0:40:13.860

don't have to be a 501c3 for four years um but 

you your organization has to have been operating

 

0:40:14.580,0:40:19.860

um in the community for four years do I understand 

the question right so you've been operating for

 

0:40:19.860,0:40:26.160

for the right amount of time but you haven't been 

a 501c3 for the full four years correct okay yes

 

0:40:26.880,0:40:32.580

okay great thank you very much you're welcome 

last year Pat there are a couple of questions in

 

0:40:32.580,0:40:40.800

the chat okay one of them can we upload 990s from 

2021 and 2022 or do we need to show our operating

 

0:40:40.800,0:40:48.600

expense documents for those years that would be 

the operating expense for those years you just

 

0:40:48.600,0:40:55.380

need the nine the current 990 for 2023 um and then 

the operating budgets for the last three years

 

0:40:55.380,0:41:01.500

starting with the current year whether that's 

calendar or fiscal excellent thank you and this

 

0:41:01.500,0:41:07.920

might be a Pat Mason question can indirect rate 

be utilized to expense administrative oversight

 

0:41:16.200,0:41:19.320

and if we need to research that 

question and come back we can well

 

0:41:19.320,0:41:24.240

I think it depends on what that indirect 

rate is because that indirect rate is uh

 

0:41:26.580,0:41:30.900

yeah we'll we'll need to get back 

with you on that yeah thank you

 

0:41:37.080,0:41:39.600

all right um Freddy

 

0:41:42.900,0:41:43.980

you're on mute

 

0:41:50.160,0:41:57.720

Betty can you unmute yourself yes I thank you 

so much can you hear me now yes all right my

 

0:41:57.720,0:42:02.340

question goes towards um our organization 

is in the 501c3 registered for more than 10

 

0:42:02.340,0:42:08.640

years but at this point we had to file for uh 

to request a file extension for our taxes are

 

0:42:08.640,0:42:17.880

we still in a good condition to apply Pat 

can you answer that so you requested a a

 

0:42:18.900,0:42:26.880

filing extension an extension to file your 990. 

yes Mom that is correct yeah um can you provide

 

0:42:26.880,0:42:34.020

us with the extension form that you that 

you had to file with yeah because you do

 

0:42:34.020,0:42:41.460

have to file an extension yeah yeah provide us 

with that and we'll look at it yes thank you

 

0:42:44.760,0:42:48.960

all right so there's still some hands raised 

I'm not sure if it's just that you didn't take

 

0:42:48.960,0:42:53.520

them down or if there's some new questions 

so John or Angela do you have more questions

 

0:42:54.420,0:43:03.000

yeah I do actually so you said that the first 

invoice is due 45 days after the contract signing

 

0:43:03.720,0:43:11.580

and then it's going to be for 30 of the total 

if I applied for 250 which is what I'm planning

 

0:43:11.580,0:43:20.640

to apply for um that's 75 000 but Stephanie 

was asking if we have to provide receipts

 

0:43:21.240,0:43:28.560

with that so I guess my question is is this 

a is this a reimbursement type Grant or are

 

0:43:28.560,0:43:35.100

you paying the money up front and do we have 

to supply receipts for seventy five thousand

 

0:43:35.100,0:43:42.120

dollars worth of expenditure within the first 45 

days of the contract do you know what I mean I do

 

0:43:42.960,0:43:48.180

um so actually Nicole can we go backwards

 

0:43:49.800,0:43:53.040

like going forward

 

0:43:53.040,0:44:03.120

oh in terms of the receipts today yeah let us 

let us get back to you with that the the uh

 

0:44:03.780,0:44:08.820

disbursements are structured in a way 

to provide some cash up front and so we

 

0:44:08.820,0:44:14.460

probably need to think through if anything is 

required to receive that first allocation we

 

0:44:14.460,0:44:19.800

will definitely address that uh via some follows 

thank you for the great question perfect thank you

 

0:44:22.320,0:44:27.660

John you have another question I actually haven't 

gotten to ask any yet so this is my first oh I'm

 

0:44:27.660,0:44:33.900

sorry that's all right um are there in I have 

two large questions one is of the three themes

 

0:44:33.900,0:44:39.540

that you describe housing in neighborhoods equity 

and inclusion sustainability and environment do

 

0:44:39.540,0:44:44.400

you have more explanation of what you mean 

by that somewhere in the grant proposal or

 

0:44:45.300,0:44:49.260

because I I know you have the dot 

points that are meant to be illustrative

 

0:44:56.580,0:45:00.720

the categories um you know they're broad

 

0:45:01.800,0:45:08.280

um and you can um you know depending on 

what your organization does you just need to

 

0:45:09.480,0:45:15.600

um you know make the uh make the 

case which of those three categories

 

0:45:16.320,0:45:23.700

um most closely aligns with what you do but you 

don't have any more definitions specifically of

 

0:45:23.700,0:45:31.080

what you mean by for instance equity and inclusion 

don't think we have I can try to put together some

 

0:45:31.080,0:45:38.100

definitions but no I don't have um written 

definitions of those three um those three

 

0:45:38.100,0:45:44.700

categories but let me make a note and we'll we'll 

try to explain that a little bit better that'd be

 

0:45:44.700,0:45:49.920

great and I have uh one other question and that 

is regarding the presentation of budgets and

 

0:45:49.920,0:45:56.580

financials from previous years you've asked for 

budgets not not actuals so do you just want to see

 

0:45:56.580,0:46:02.520

the act just just the budget not for the previous 

three years you don't want to see what the actual

 

0:46:03.360,0:46:13.320

um uh receipts and expenses were against budget 

just the budget Pat can you respond to that

 

0:46:13.320,0:46:19.500

you're shaking your head yes yeah yeah operating 

budget we asked just for the operating budget but

 

0:46:20.160,0:46:24.720

um we probably need to go back and look at that 

but we just did act just for the operating budget

 

0:46:25.860,0:46:29.280

okay dark you're going to have a 

standardized presentation or will

 

0:46:29.280,0:46:34.800

you take whatever presentation we have like are 

you going to provide a template for us to say

 

0:46:34.800,0:46:39.180

please fill this out with your expenses 

so that you can compare apples to apples

 

0:46:40.380,0:46:46.920

no we don't have a template so to stop just 

upload your your version great thank you

 

0:46:50.220,0:46:51.240

Ken do you have a question

 

0:46:56.100,0:47:00.840

that actually somebody in chat has the perfect 

follow-up for me so I'm going to just read their

 

0:47:00.840,0:47:06.000

question what document will be required to 

show operation for four years if an agency

 

0:47:06.000,0:47:12.540

has 501c3 for only a year so basically 

how do we prove that we've been serving

 

0:47:12.540,0:47:20.160

the community for those four years prior to 

becoming a C3 org that is a good question um

 

0:47:20.880,0:47:28.620

I guess you put that in your narrative 

um in the the questions um and we would

 

0:47:29.520,0:47:34.560

I don't know how we'd we'll need to figure 

out how we're going to verify verify that

 

0:47:35.220,0:47:41.340

um because I don't believe that there is a a 

question that directly uh correlates to that

 

0:47:44.040,0:47:46.380

okay so that's that's to be determined

 

0:47:47.220,0:47:53.820

yeah we'll we'll get back to you 

on on that okay all right thank you

 

0:47:58.440,0:48:07.500

any other questions oh yes uh JB yes so um 

and then just for clarity for me just to give

 

0:48:07.500,0:48:16.260

a context um I'll have a social work company 

and call has a social work you know although

 

0:48:16.260,0:48:23.520

we are definitely a health profession the North 

Carolina Board requires us to register as a pllc

 

0:48:24.180,0:48:28.920

uh we do have a physical sponsor to help 

with some of our non-profit programming

 

0:48:29.460,0:48:35.820

uh but I guess the question is um if our physical 

sponsor is providing the 990 does that mean that

 

0:48:35.820,0:48:41.820

we need to provide our taxes along with it or 

how does that work along with the agreement

 

0:48:43.920,0:48:50.340

Pat can you help with that and JB when you 

say taxes what taxes are you referring to

 

0:48:52.560,0:49:00.000

um just our agency taxes that we pay every year 

your agency taxes that you pay a year that you

 

0:49:00.000,0:49:07.320

that you file with the IRS or that yes correct 

yeah yeah that would be that would be helpful okay

 

0:49:11.220,0:49:19.440

Melissa all right thank you um one great 

information but two questions separate

 

0:49:19.440,0:49:26.400

categories one as far as operating expenses um we 

typically categorize our utility waste pickup and

 

0:49:26.400,0:49:32.940

those types of things for our facility as a part 

of our operations costs and in a large repairs

 

0:49:32.940,0:49:39.180

whether it's AC units or things like that for the 

facility we count that as capital so is that how

 

0:49:39.180,0:49:48.540

you're categorizing um operating expenses not sure 

about repairs Pat do you want to weigh in on that

 

0:49:50.280,0:49:55.800

well not repairs um week we count repairs 

as as capital expenses okay so I know that

 

0:49:55.800,0:50:00.840

that's excluded but as far as utilities and 

things like that we count that as operating

 

0:50:00.840,0:50:09.120

yeah same definition yes utilities would 

be operating expenses okay fantastic and

 

0:50:09.900,0:50:15.900

oh go ahead I'm sorry oh I was just gonna say 

for Capital I think we're just defining that as

 

0:50:16.500,0:50:25.320

um equipment um Furniture Land building stuff 

like that okay great um the other question

 

0:50:25.320,0:50:30.900

that I have is in regard to our community 

impact so as a part of the foundation we have

 

0:50:30.900,0:50:36.480

strategic Partners where we work with several 

other organizations to partner with those

 

0:50:37.020,0:50:43.980

um uh groups um or in a number of different 

categories so as far as our impact we need

 

0:50:43.980,0:50:50.100

to show any evidence of that or letters of 

support for that in the Grant application packet

 

0:50:52.140,0:50:55.980

um I think letters uh of support are always

 

0:50:57.000,0:51:01.620

um good to include but they 

are not required okay thank you

 

0:51:05.340,0:51:11.460

any other questions you know Nicole's been 

kind of Fielding questions in the in the

 

0:51:11.460,0:51:19.260

chat are there any chat questions that we 

need to to get to not currently a couple of

 

0:51:19.260,0:51:23.340

people have asked how they would access the 

answers and we will capture the questions

 

0:51:23.340,0:51:28.620

answered in this workshop and additionally the 

questions that we have some research to do on

 

0:51:28.620,0:51:34.860

into a FAQ document and we will uh post that 

on the website which contains the application

 

0:51:34.860,0:51:39.060

link and we will also distribute that to 

folks who have registered for this Workshop

 

0:51:43.500,0:51:47.220

all right thanks Nicole are 

there any other questions

 

0:51:48.420,0:51:52.920

JB do you have another question 

if uh future questions arise

 

0:51:53.640,0:52:00.780

um and we reach out um I know they have you 

listed as a POC Jackie um yes yeah is that

 

0:52:00.780,0:52:05.580

is that what we do yeah so you can reach out 

to me and I'll research and get back to you

 

0:52:06.120,0:52:12.180

um follow up with whomever um on our team to get 

the to get the answer and I'll I'll let you know

 

0:52:14.940,0:52:16.440

Maria do you have another question

 

0:52:19.260,0:52:20.460

um so

 

0:52:23.700,0:52:28.500

may I ask a question please yes I 

have a question I put it in the chat

 

0:52:28.500,0:52:35.280

actually um surrounding the 30 of your um 

agency's operating budget I know you asked

 

0:52:35.280,0:52:41.160

for multiple years so which year do you 

consider the 30 off which year would you

 

0:52:42.000,0:52:50.520

um use to calculate your 30 percent the 

current year right Pat Jessica okay thank you

 

0:52:56.880,0:52:58.980

right any other questions

 

0:53:04.500,0:53:08.160

um there are some questions in the 

chat about the three categories

 

0:53:09.000,0:53:13.200

um one just folks wanting to see those 

again and then a specifically ask about

 

0:53:13.200,0:53:19.860

how an organization working for a healthy 

Community cancer support.org might fit

 

0:53:22.020,0:53:27.540

all right so the three categories 

are housing and neighborhoods

 

0:53:27.540,0:53:31.980

equity and inclusion and 

sustainability and environment

 

0:53:34.440,0:53:40.260

and I can pull up if you'd like to see 

the bullet points I can pull that up in

 

0:53:40.260,0:53:45.000

a moment and what was the second part of that 

question Nicole there was somebody looking for

 

0:53:45.000,0:53:50.640

help categorizing uh where their agency might 

fit under those three headings the agency does

 

0:53:50.640,0:53:55.740

and works for a healthy Community it sounds 

like supporting folks experiencing cancer

 

0:53:57.780,0:54:02.460

that would probably fall under housing 

in neighborhoods in that category

 

0:54:05.700,0:54:10.800

would you agree with that and 

they pull up the bullet points

 

0:54:21.000,0:54:22.920

share my screen again

 

0:54:33.840,0:54:39.540

all right are you able to see that 

yes ma'am all right there we go

 

0:54:49.520,0:54:50.520

[Music]

 

0:54:50.520,0:54:54.300

yeah I think the closest would 

be housing in neighborhoods

 

0:54:57.960,0:54:58.620

you know

 

0:55:01.560,0:55:05.700

fostering connections um you 

know vulnerable residents

 

0:55:06.600,0:55:09.540

strengthening families and social networks

 

0:55:13.980,0:55:17.820

so does does that help

 

0:55:24.060,0:55:29.040

that was a question from Cindy Teddy Cindy 

hopefully that helped you out and as a

 

0:55:29.040,0:55:35.280

reminder these three categories in bold are 

really what dictates eligibility of purpose

 

0:55:35.280,0:55:41.160

for the grant all of the dots underneath 

of that as Jackie shared are just kind of

 

0:55:41.160,0:55:46.980

ideas to help articulate what those headings 

might mean it is not a complete list and it

 

0:55:46.980,0:55:50.820

does not mean that if you do things that 

you think fit in these headings that are

 

0:55:50.820,0:55:55.680

outside of the bullet points provided that 

you would be ineligible the three category

 

0:55:55.680,0:56:00.480

headings are really what was dictated by 

Council and that's what we'll be going by

 

0:56:06.360,0:56:09.840

right so it looks like there's a couple more 

questions Angela do you have another question

 

0:56:10.860,0:56:19.620

yeah just one more I looking at this list again I 

kind of think that we fit under both housing and

 

0:56:19.620,0:56:26.940

neighborhood and equity and inclusion depending on 

which of our various programs we're talking about

 

0:56:28.380,0:56:32.880

um should we just pick the 

one that fits best Maybe

 

0:56:33.840,0:56:37.260

because my organization is big and 

we do a lot of different things

 

0:56:39.300,0:56:43.860

yeah I would say choose the one 

that you feel aligns the best

 

0:56:44.940,0:56:50.160

okay and then in your narrative 

you can you know expand on that

 

0:56:50.160,0:56:55.260

and say we also you know there okay 

do some work in in this other area

 

0:56:57.600,0:56:59.040

0:58:15.960,0:58:20.820

definitions of the areas of community 

resilience you are correct John Quillen

great application and process here

yes Melissa if you have additional questions 

reach out to me and I will get the answer for you

 

0:58:55.980,0:58:58.680

oh I see another hand Lisa did you have a question

 

0:59:01.020,0:59:02.160

you are on mute

 

0:59:05.040,0:59:08.160

okay I'm so sorry that was probably 

kind of my problem I couldn't find

 

0:59:08.160,0:59:12.720

it raise my hand but because I'm broad 

because I do apologize oh so real quick

 

0:59:12.720,0:59:17.640

um because part of what we do we do a lot of 

training mental health and wellness training

 

0:59:17.640,0:59:23.160

we have a support group and we use slideshows 

and during the pandemic we kind of lost our

 

0:59:24.360,0:59:29.280

um tracking software that we do you know that 

we were doing at the time with our measurements

 

0:59:29.280,0:59:34.680

so in order to get that back is that part 

of capital or is that part of my expense

 

0:59:36.540,0:59:42.240

software I don't think would be a 

capital expense Pat can you confirm that

 

0:59:43.080,0:59:51.600

you know software is not a chemical experience to 

be more operating okay okay and then so like our

 

0:59:51.600,0:59:58.380

computers is that a capital is that operating 

computers are capital because you have to yeah

 

0:59:59.220,1:00:07.200

okay okay that's what I need you to know thank 

you so much um and I also saw a question flashed

 

1:00:07.200,1:00:12.420

on my screen about salaries so yeah salaries 

are eligible under General operating support

 

1:00:14.940,1:00:20.280

I'm trying to take my hand down and I don't 

know how to do that I'm sorry no worries

 

1:00:27.540,1:00:32.340
