Dear Gary Bohnee and Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community,
Opportunity4Kids (Tax ID 46-3403537) respectfully submits a grant application to
SRPMIC for $30,000 to supplement and support our ongoing endeavors. Our
goal is to create long term, measurable impact in Maricopa County by providing
underprivileged youth with opportunities to participate in out-of-school time
activities such as afterschool, summer camp programs and extracurriculars.
We were graciously granted funds in 2016, 2018 and 2019 and have put all
awarded dollars to good use, extending opportunities to youth who would not
otherwise have them. As the support from SRPMIC continues, our reach grows
within Maricopa County and creates a bigger impact. We thank you for this!
We strive to continually increase our influence and change the lives of more and
more children in Maricopa County; we hope you agree that our mission is worthy
of funding. We thank you for your consideration and any level of support. Please
see the attached application for the 2020 12% Gaming Grant Cycle.
For questions regarding our grant application, please contact Director of Operations,
Alexandra Jobe Munter at (480) 340-7017 or alexandra(&,Opportunitv4Kids.orq.
Wishing you a wonderful day!
Sincerely,

Founded in 2013, Opportunity4Kids began as Equipment4Kids- providing equipment and
uniforms to kids on the sidelines without resources to play.
In 2015, Alexandra stepped in as Director of Operations and the Opportunity4Kids Board
acknowledged that youth need more than cleats to participate, and not every kid wants
to play a sport. Opportunity4Kids then expanded its focus to include all out-of-school time
activities such as afterschool programming, summer camp and extracurriculars.
What started as 14 Scholarships quickly turned into over 100 annually and community
programs impacting thousands! Additionally, Opportunity4Kids celebrated our 5-year
anniversary last fall.
Already in August of 2019, Opportunity4Kids has been able to put SRPMIC funding in
action, extending our goal of 82 Individual Scholarships- and we plan to keep going!
Overall, this year, as an organization we have issued 97 Individual Scholarships and
organized community programs impacting 185 Maricopa County youth.
Opportunity4Kids focuses on serving youth and their families living throughout Maricopa
County. Per the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey, in Maricopa County
there were 1,014,531 children under the age of 18 years old in households. The
percentage of children living in households at or below the poverty line is 24.4% and it
was determined that 28.7% of children are living in households with supplemental security
income, cash public assistance income or receiving food stamp benefits.
Oppotunity4Kids strives to support the 1-in-4 children in Maricopa county that need
resources to participate by providing necessary Scholarships, equipment and uniforms!
Opportunity4Kids operates under the mission statement-
We are organized to change the lives of children; to foster out-of-school time and
extracurricular participation; to promote healthy and active lifestyles; to further
mental and social development; and allow equal opportunities for children in need.

With our project, Leveling the Playing Field in Maricopa County!, Opportunity4Kids' goal is to
increase participation in out-of-school time opportunities for children who would otherwise not
be able to afford. Opportunity4Kids will facilitate involvement in out-of-school time activities,
such as afterschool programs, summer camps and extracurriculars, by providing individual
Scholarships to pay for registration fees required to enroll and/or equipment and uniforms.
It is through word-of-mouth within communities of need, or by case workers and coaches, that
Opportunity4Kids will identify underprivileged youth who would benefit from out-of-school time
Scholarships. The Parent/Guardian/Case Worker of qualified children will be required to
complete an online application to be vetted by Opportunity4Kids' Chief Executive Officer and
then submitted to Opportunity4Kids' Scholarship Approval Committee for decision. The online
application identifies the true need of applicants by requesting individual health and situational
information, as well as household financial data, to determine that Scholarships are awarded to
those most disadvantaged. Youth Scholarships are evaluted on a case-by-case basis
throughout the year, centered around school seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall Winter.
Through the Scholarship process, Opportunity4Kids' Chief Executive Officer will utilize a
tracking system to record information on children and their families. The expectation is that 98%
of Youth provided Scholarship will live in households that fall at or within 1.5% of the federal
poverty line and at least 75% also receive additional government assistance. To determine the
success of Scholarships provided, Opportunity4Kids asks the Parent/Guardian/Case Worker to
complete a post survey to analyze individual progress and development. At the conclusion of
Scholarship activity, we anticipate 90% will show increase in self-esteem and social skills due to
participation in programming.
Opportunity4Kids has established a supportive network of partners throughout Maricopa County
with nonprofits and recreational organizations that provide positive out-of-school time activities
such as: Skate After School, ATA Martial Arts, Phoenix Center for the Arts, San Marcos Music
Academy, ProCamps, Ballet Arizona, Summer Camp of Arizona, ICAN, Lights Camera
Discover, Boys and Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix and many more.
These organizations support Opportunity4Kids' goal of increasing participation by discounting or
reducing registration fees required to participate, thus facilitating the Scholarship of more
children for a longer duration.
If provided funding from SRPMIC, it would go directly to program Scholarships,
increasing Opportunity4Kids impact in Maricopa County for at least 95 children!
