86. ACCEPTANCE OF MUSEUM ADMISSIONS PROVIDED BY THE CHILDREN’S MUSEUM OF PHOENIX FOR THE WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN (WIC) PROGRAM Approve the acceptance and use of 1000 museum admissions provided by Children's Museum of Phoenix as part of Every Child Program, to Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health (MCDPH), Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program. For FY24, the MCDPH WIC Program received a donation of 1000 museum admissions valued at $17,000.00. This award was non-competitive and is the first time MCDPH WIC has received a donation of admissions from the Children’s Museum of Phoenix. Cash and/or in-kind match is not applicable nor are ongoing cash contributions required should they cease to be provided to the program. WIC services are a mandated function and donations such as these will be distributed to WIC clients as incentives for completion of online nutrition courses. The goal of Every Child Program is to ensure that all of Arizona’s children can experience a safe, playful environment where they are empowered to make their own choices, encouraged to take risks, and explore free of criticism. The Children’s Museum of Phoenix is committed to ensuring that the Museum’s rich learning environment is available to all children in our community, regardless of their ability to pay. Lower resourced families do not normally have the ability to experience the children's museum due to the entrance fee which is $17.00 per person for anyone over the age of one. Every Child Program is made possible through the support of generous individuals, corporations, and foundations. Administration costs are absorbed by the department’s operating budget. MCDPH’s indirect rate for FY24 is 15.65%. This in-kind donation does not allow for indirect, therefore, indirect expense estimated at $2,660.50 and are not recoverable. (C-86-24-070-X-00)
