About the Grant Program Application:
The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community 12% Gaming Grant Program (“Program”) application will
serve to provide a comprehensive review of the programming requests for Arizona cities, towns,
counties, non-municipal public service organizations, and non-profit organizations selected to apply for
grant funding. It is not the intent of the Program to award grants that would benefit individuals, be used
as sponsorships, be used for religious activities, primarily fund the indirect or administrative costs of a

Provide a brief description of the project being submitted to the 12% SRPMIC Grant program. In the

description provide a summary of the relevant experience, administrative activity, and program
development related to the grant request.
The specific program we are requesting funding for is our Nightly Meal Services. On an average month we
provide over 9,000 meals to about 1320 unique individuals. This past year over 6,100 unduplicated
individuals took advantage of our nightly meal program.
This past year we received a grant to air condition and enclose our open air dining hall and add an office
area inside the dining hall. This will enable us to provide additional services from a variety of other Mesa
area non-profits to empower our guests to more self-sufficiency. Additional programs will include job
readiness, computer basics, housing support, and classes on budgeting, DES services and more. In addition,
we will need to add new dining tables for our nightly meal guests. We estimate the cost of the tables at
$20,000.
This year’s budget for our Nightly Meal program is $629,000. Our next year’s budget will increase due to
additional utilities, maintenance and personnel to support our newly enclosed dining room. We are
requesting $50,000 to help support the increased costs and dining tables for our Nightly Meal Program.

What percentage of the grant request are Direct Costs of the programming and Indirect Costs,
respectively? 100% will be direct costs.
