Project Summary: The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation is the nation’s oldest and largest
provider of need-based scholarships for military children. We are also the only military
scholarship provider to award a scholarship to every single eligible student who applies. Today
the need for our assistance is greater than ever for Marines and Navy Corpsmen – and their
families – who dedicate their lives to the defense of our country. Having awarded more than
40,000 post-secondary educational scholarships worth nearly $120,000,000 to the children of
Marines and Navy Corpsmen for over 56 years, we provided a record-breaking number of
scholarships in 2016-2017: 2,330, with a total value of $7,200,000, through our Arizona
Campaign, in the state alone, we awarded more than $220,500 in scholarships for 79 students
studying at 19 different in-state colleges, universities, and career and technical programs this
year. The heritage of our program is exemplified in the $768,690 that has been allotted for
scholarships to Arizona State University alone since 2010.
Narrative: Today the need for our assistance is greater than ever for Marines and Navy
Corpsmen – and their families – who dedicate their lives to the defense of our country.
The cost of post-secondary education outpaces the average annual income of $59,000 among
our Marine families. They simply cannot spend over one-third of their income on even an instate,
public college at $23,000 a year. Yet these costs exist at a time when post-secondary education
has never been more important. Projections show that 65 percent of jobs will require post-
secondary education and training by 2020.
Having awarded more than 37,000 post-secondary educational scholarships worth nearly
$120,000,000 to the children of Marines and Navy Corpsmen for over 56 years, we provided a
record-breaking number of scholarships in 2016-2017: 2,330, with a total value of $7,200,000.
Through our Arizona Campaign, in the state alone, we awarded more than $220,500 in
scholarships for 79 students studying at 19 different in-state colleges, universities, and
career and technical programs this year. The difference post-secondary education makes for
these students and their communities is significant. Studies show up to $1,000,000 in diminished
wages for high school graduates NOT earning a degree or certification.
The need for post-secondary education fuels the demand. The result has been a phenomenal
increase in our scholarship awards -- 155 percent growth since 2001 – and in projections of an
escalating number of students – 100,000 college-age children of Marines by 2020. With plans to
increase the Marine force by 3,000 in 2017 alone, and with 4,000 active duty Marines in Arizona
and 1,149 veterans in the Yuma area alone, we must ensure our capacity to meet demand with
robust scholarships and operations that support them.
Without funding help, Marine families risk being priced out of a life-changing education for their
children. No matter when or where a Marine serves, we must be always faithful, committed to
honoring that service whenever they have a son or daughter in-need. Every investment in the
Scholarship Foundation is essential to upholding that pledge. That is why we request that the
Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation join us in fulfilling our mission, Honoring Marines by Educating

Their Children, with an impactful grant of $50,000 for our Arizona Campaign. That investment
will provide approximately 25 life-changing named scholarships for Arizona children.
Marines have always been the first to fight. Now it is our time to meet the fight for this generation
of Marine children head-on. We have promises to keep, lives to impact, and nothing short of
America’s future to shape. The need has never been greater, and your support has never meant
more for our troops, their families, our state, and our entire country.
Population who will benefit from the proposal if approved
Post-secondary education is critical to the sons and daughters of Marines as the pathway to
success in their careers, contributions to their communities, and the nation’s global
competitiveness. At a time when many children of Marines find it harder than ever to obtain a
post-secondary education, no organization is closer to the intersection of real need and lasting
impact than the Scholarship Foundation. Partnerships with investors like the Fort McDowell
Yavapai Nation make this possible for Marine families in their communities by supporting the
Arizona Campaign.
The benefits extend beyond Marine families to the entire state. Communities in Arizona require
well-educated residents to fill their jobs and serve as leaders. The children of Marines
are born to lead as they fulfill the values their parents instill: Honor, Courage, and Commitment.
Our students raised on these values compile a record of achievements:
• 90 percent graduate or are on track to graduate (compared to 53 percent nationally),
• 85 percent of our students are retained (compared to 61 percent),
• 81 percent graduate with less than $28,000 in debt (compared to 31 percent),
• 50 percent are first-generation college students (compared to 34 percent),
• 45 percent are enrolled in STEM and Health Sciences (compared to 33 percent)
The ability to provide their sons and daughters with a college education is one of the most prized
goals yet difficult challenges Marines may face. This may be compounded by long-term impacts
of their service: casualties, multiple deployments to high risk areas, frequent moves that
destabilize lives and disrupt educational continuity, and out-of-pocket expenses that can deplete
family savings. Additionally, a previously downsized force and high unemployment rate among
veterans mean more Marines face an uncertain financial future. It is not surprising that the 2016
Blue Star Family Lifestyle Survey finds financial issues as the Number One military family issue.

Project Summary:
The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) is requesting to purchase the needed equipment for the
Policy Room portion of the MCSO Emergency Operations Room (EOR) in order to update its capabilities
to better coordinate and share intelligence information among Federal, State, and local law enforcement
agencies and fire personnel during real-time natural and/or man-made disasters/events.
Narrative:
1. The proposed program or project, and whether it is a new or continuing project;
The proposed project is the Policy Room of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) Headquarters
– Emergency Operations Room (EOR). MCSO is requesting to purchase the needed equipment for the
Policy Room of our EOR in order to update its capabilities to better coordinate and share critical
information among Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies and fire personnel during real-time
natural and/or man-made disasters/events. This equipment will permit any collected information to
produce a more informed response for any situation within Maricopa County jurisdiction, as well as the
State of Arizona. The specifics of the project include video teleconferencing with the Emergency
Operations Centers (EOC) of the state, counties, and municipalities of Arizona. This will allow better
communication between other agency Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) throughout the state, as
well as assist with managing numerous incidents and the large number of teams and personnel involved in
the emergency response to the events. This is a new project for MCSO. The total cost for this project
is approximately $15,000.
2. The purpose of the program or project and how it meets one and or more of Fort McDowell’s
funding priorities (i.e., education, public safety, health, environment, and economic and
community development);
Public Safety – This project will enhance the MCSO Emergency Operations Room and update its
capabilities to better coordinate and share critical information among Federal, State, Tribal, and local law
enforcement agencies and fire personnel during real-time natural and/or man-made disasters/events.
3. The need that the program or project aims to fulfill, the population targeted, and the estimated
number of people who will be served by the grant;
The number of people to be served by this project is the entire population of Maricopa County,
approximately 4 million people. The needs/problems to be addressed include bringing the MCSO
Emergency Operations Room – Policy Room up to the standards of other law enforcement agencies.

2019 Arizona Benefits Fund Grant Application
With a functioning Emergency Operations Room – Policy Room, MCSO will be prepared to manage the
response from law enforcement, fire services, and other entities to any natural and/or man-made
disaster/event. The Emergency Operations Room – Policy Room will allow the National Incident
Management System (NIMS) and the Incident Command System (ICS) to be in place and operational for
any sized incident within Maricopa County and/or the State of Arizona. The target population for this
project would be all of the citizens of Maricopa County, specifically those affected by our critical
infrastructures. MCSO is responsible for the law enforcement responses to much of the critical
infrastructure in the County, to include: the Salt River Project and the Central Arizona Project, Chase
Field (Home of the AZ Diamondbacks), and the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. Specifically, any
natural/man-made disaster or event at either of these locations would affect not only Maricopa County,
but the State of Arizona. MCSO also has two Rapid Response teams which would be supported out of
the EOR if called upon to respond state-wide and within FEMA region 9.
4. The partners in the program or project, and other entities providing funding and support (please
indicate whether the organization will be submitting applications to any other tribes); and
The MCSO Emergency Operations Center (Phase 1) was partially funded by the Salt River Pima
Maricopa Indian Community at the end of 2018. A request to fund Phase 2 of the MCSO Emergency
Operations Center will also be submitted to Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community. However, the
Policy Room portion of this project is new and has not received funding outside of MCSO.
5. The timetable for implementation of the program or project.
A start and finish date would be as soon as possible. Once the project is funded, and a purchase order is
issued, the project itself should take approximately 90-120 days to complete. Once the equipment has
been purchased and the installations are completed, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office will maintain
the equipment throughout its useful life. Specific to this project’s requests, the Sheriff’s Office will
utilize budget funds to preserve the equipment related to this project, including maintenance upgrades and
any type of updates or repairs. The timeline is flexible.

Native American Connection’s mission is “Improving the lives and individuals and families
through Native American culturally appropriate behavioral health, affordable housing and
community development services. Since 1972 Native American Connections (NAC) has been
improving community health/wellness and increasing housing stability for individuals,
children/youth, and families.
NAC owns and operates 20 sites in Phoenix offering and providing access to integrated
healthcare, affordable and supportive housing (over 700 units/beds) and community development
services to over 10,000 individuals and families each year. NAC is an Urban Indian Organization
as defined at 25 U.S.C § 1603(29) and has service contracts with two Indian Health Service
(IHS) services areas: Phoenix Area (42 tribes) and Albuquerque (22 tribes), as well as 20 direct
tribal contracts serving tribes in the Southwest.
NAC also champions projects that strengthen the Native American community and celebrate its
rich cultural history such as the Native American Community Service Center (2007), co-
owned/operated by NAC and Phoenix Indian Center, and the Phoenix Indian School Visitor
Center (opened 2017).
PROJECT SUMMARY
Native American Connections requests $25,000 from the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation’s 2019
Arizona Benefits Fund to support the Phoenix Indian School Visitor Center, which operates in a
renovated elementary school and music building on the site of former Phoenix Indian School
(closed in 1990), located within the City of Phoenix's Steele Indian School Park.
Since the opening of the Phoenix Indian School Visitor Center (PISVC) in October 2017, NAC
and its main community partners (Phoenix Indian Center, City of Phoenix, Heard Museum) have
been working with a variety of organizations to promote its use as a unique venue and means for
bringing an array of arts/cultural, education, health/wellness and nutrition, and community
economic development programs to Arizona.
The Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation’s state shared revenue funding would be used to
support the ongoing and successful growth of education, health/wellness, tourism, and
community economic development programs/activities occurring at the Phoenix Indian
School Visitor Center.

NARRATIVE
1. Proposed Program/Project: Phoenix Indian School Visitor Center (Continuing Project)
2. Purpose of Program/Project & How it Meets Fort McDowell’s Funding Priorities.
The proposed project’s main purpose is to tell the untold story of the Phoenix Indian School and its
alumni and to show how this story relates to the larger history of American Indian Boarding Schools and
Indian History in the Southwest and nationally. NAC and its main community partners (Phoenix Indian
Center, City of Phoenix, Heard Museum) aim to engage both Native American and non-Native audiences
to share this important story more widely among Arizonans and other visitors coming from throughout
the United States and the world. The Phoenix Indian School and its three remaining buildings are
considered to be a statewide tribal treasure; the renovation of the elementary school/music building and
its reopening as the Phoenix Indian School Visitor Center remains an important cause for celebration and
commemoration. The proposed project will address four out of the five stated Fort McDowell Yavapai
Nation (FMYN) funding priorities: education, health/wellness, tourism, economic development.
3. Need for Program/Project, Target Population
Since its grand opening in October 2017, NAC has been working with the City of Phoenix (COP)
Parks and Recreation Department, Phoenix Indian Center, Heard Museum, Arizona State University
(ASU) and many other community partners to bring arts/cultural, education, health/wellness and nutrition,
and community economic development programming to the PISVC to benefit the urban Native American
community of over 100,000 in Greater Phoenix, and to educate the community at large about the history
of Indian Boarding Schools more widely, and the Phoenix Indian School more specifically. This wider
community education purpose is the primary community need which the program/project addresses.
The grand opening in October 2017 successfully highlighted and “kicked off” all the types of events
and activities now occurring at the PISVC, such as promoting arts/cultural events, education (e.g. K-12
professional development; K-12 education (field trips); nutrition education, healthy living and
local/indigenous foods, and community economic development,. NAC estimates that 1,000 persons
attended the grand opening celebration and around 500 (50%) sampled indigenous foods prepared for the
event by Chef Nephi Craig (Apache/Navajo) and his culinary team. Chef Craig also delivered a short
presentation at the grand opening celebration, allowing both Native and non-Native community members
the opportunity to learn about the range of indigenous foods available and their health benefits. The grand
opening also provided an opportunity to promote the availability of the commercial kitchen at PISVC as a
permanent place to cook indigenous and healthy foods – definitively creating a new community resource.
Number to be Served. NAC has experienced at least 5,000 individuals -- including hundreds of K-12
students--coming to the PISVC to see the gallery and/or rent the facility in its first year of operations.
NAC expects to reach/exceed this same figure for visits/attendees in the FY19 (7/1/18-6/30/19). In
November 2017, just one month after opening, the PISVC hosted 12 events/meetings for a variety of
nonprofit, public, tribal, and private sector organizations including: Intertribal Council of Arizona,
Gathering of Native Americans, Heard Museum (Mellon Fellows), ASU’s Center for Race and
Democracy, YWCA, APS’s Native American employee group. Subsequent months have included: movie
night showing “Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World”; school field trips by K-12 student groups
from throughout Arizona, Native American student graduation celebrations and family celebrations, etc.
NAC is on track to host/co-host over 90 events at PISVC annually; room rentals are averaging 8/month,
including regular use by Bank of America’s Community Relations/Development group, and the Phoenix
Indian Medical Center for professional development purposes.
Program highlights from the past two years which fall within the education, health/wellness,
economic/community development are described below:
 Education (K-12 Health/Wellness/Nutrition: The Heard Museum has hosted two Teachers' Institutes
to deliver state-approved curricula professional development efforts for K-12 teachers, one of which
featured chef Maria Parra Cano ("Indigenous Mama") to use the commercial kitchen to prepare an
indigenous meal for teachers/attendees; Tohono O'odham language classes are being held.
2

 Education (Arts/Culture): Gallery curation and development continues, Native American artist Randy
Kemp has been contracted to complete a mural/tapestry in Event Room; WWI armistice 100 year
commemoration event held honoring Phoenix Indian School WWI veterans, in partnership with COP
and Arizona Territorial Band.
 Community Economic Development (Food Businesses/Kitchen rentals): Project secured services of a
kitchen consultant in Feb-18; all rental pricing fees/structure, agreements, and policies were in place
by Mar-18. All health inspections passed with "A" grades. One-time use rentals started immediately
with inaugural event/use by James Beard award winner "Sioux Chef" Sean Sherman (organized by
Partnership for Native Americans). First ongoing kitchen renter (“Sana Sana”-Maria Cano,
chef/business owner) started Oct-18; partnerships with Native food trucks/catering businesses
(Emerson, Firethunder); meetings with ASU's "Prepped" (early-stage food incubator program).
News/Media highlights: PISVC kitchen/food activities were featured in the Arizona PBS show
"Plate and Pour" shoot hosted by award winning chef Mark Tarbell, and highlighting local chef Ivan
Jacobo and his "Hidden Kitchen" business; other PISVC stories more generally have been featured on
local NPR (KJZZ), ASU Cronkite News, and Native Health radio show.
4. Program Partners/Other Funders (including other tribes)
NAC has secured program and capital funding support from a variety of government/tribal, foundation,
and corporate funding sources during the past two fiscal years (FY18, FY19) including:
 Government/Tribal: HUD Section 4 (via LISC Phoenix)-$40,000, Tohono O'odham Nation-$50,000
 Foundations: Arizona Community Foundation (Common Good Fund)- $50,000; ACF-Lost Lake
Festival proceeds- $8,000 (one-time donation)
 Corporate: Arizona Public Service-$50,000; SRP-$25,000
No other applications for this project have been made yet to other tribes for the upcoming program year.
Since 2008, NAC has received $1.175 million total in 12% payments from four tribal communities to
benefit the following five projects/programs: Native American Community Service Center (NACSC)
located in mid-town Phoenix; Patina Wellness Center (opened in 2016); Phoenix Indian School Visitor
Center (opened 2017); Homebase Youth Services and other Homelessness support services. NAC has
received one 12% distribution from FMYN for the NACSC (2008-09).

Project Summary:
Our proposed project is for funding to supplement our ongoing hunger program with an
emphasis on healthy meals. We know from studies that obesity, health issues (and
health costs) are higher for low income people than for higher income people. We know
that there is a higher rate of health issues with Native Americans and other non-white
groups than there is with Caucasians. Our goal is to improve the dietary eating
behaviors of our guests who live at or below the poverty level by providing healthier
meals.
Narrative:
Program:
We believe our request falls in the priority areas of Health Care. Our food programs
focus on the intersections between food insecurity and health. Food insecurity has been
linked with adverse diet-related health outcomes in family members of all ages including
children. Statistics show that those families living in poverty have a higher rate of
medical expenses than those with higher incomes. This is often due to the price
variations between healthier and less healthy foods. Our request is for $30,000 to
supplement the acquisition of healthier foods. While we receive many donations of
food, we often receive more foods that are high carbs like bread, pastries and desserts
and fewer fruits, vegetables and protein.
Paz de Cristo has been providing meals since our beginning in 1988. We are currently
the only organization in the entire Phoenix East Valley to provide a free meal every night
of the year. This past year we had over 65,500 visits from 6,000 unique individuals to
our nightly meal service. About 60% of our nightly meal guests are homeless and many
suffer from mental illness and behavioral health issues. In addition, we provide food
boxes to families, individuals, case workers and senior citizens. We provided food boxes

to 2,500 individuals this past year. Many of these are senior citizens, unemployed or
single parent households.
We collaborate with several other organizations to provide services to our guests. The
United Food Bank distributes much of our food, Lutheran social Services provides
overnight housing for our women guests, Mesa Municipal Courts hold a monthly
homeless court at Paz and 20 different organizations provide volunteers for our nightly
meal service. Circle the City provided their mobile medical clinic weekly and Marc
Community Resources provides navigators every day to assist our guests receive mental
and behavioral health services.
Our request if for on-going hunger programs including our Nightly Meal Service,
Emergency Food Box Distribution, Case Worker Food Box Distribution and Senior Food
Box Distribution.

To the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Review Committee:
In alignment with Fort McDowell support of education, Arizona Museum of Natural History Foundation is requesting
$5,000 in support of its Explore More Program which is described below.
Applicant/Contact Info: Arizona Museum of Natural History Foundation, Alison Stoltman, Curator of Education,
Telephone Number: 480-644-2230, Address: 53 N MacDonald, Mesa, AZ 85201.
Project Summary, four sentences: With your support, funds will contribute to an in-depth exploration of paleontology and
archaeology for children of any grade level engaged in Explore More. Igniting thousands of children’s natural scientific
curiosity, Explore More, now in its fifth year, is a small-group learning experience and one of the most in-demand
education programs at the Arizona Museum of Natural History.
Narrative of no more than 2 pages.
The purpose of the program and how it meets Fort McDowell’s
priorities: With your support, the museum will continue to offer
Explore More as an option for school tours at the museum and at
its sister site – Mesa Grande Cultural Park. Explore More
provides a team of museum educators for one hour for exclusive
use of the museum and/or the archaeological remains at Mesa
Grande Archaeological Park. The program was launched with the
knowledge that the average fieldtrip to any museum lacks depth,
tending to be regarded as a "day off" by both students and
educators. Explore More takes place one hour before the museum
opens, and Archaeological Adventures are guided tours that are
scheduled at Mesa Grande. These are experiential and can be
tailored to any group - 1:5 ratio chaperones to youth, $9.00 per
person including teachers and chaperones. Explore More- Dino
Detective: Should a school select the Dino Detective Explore More option, tours of the galleries are given along with an
activity lesson in the exploration station with educators in paleontology and/or archaeology. Several stations examine
teeth, claws, etc, as students form hypotheses and conclusions about the way dinosaurs used their teeth and what
paleontologists can tell from looking at teeth. Explore More- Archaeological Adventures: This is a guided field trip to
Mesa Grande Cultural Park, the location of a Hohokam platform mound and an active archaeological site. Students are
led by archaeologists and map a unit, sieve for, and examine real artifacts - an opportunity for students to see science in
action.

It is important that children have hands on experiences with real artifacts,
not replicas. Time and again we receive input from our visitors that the
students really loved being able to touch the items like fossils and ancient
stone tools. Research reveals “Experience must come through the hand,
and body, before it can become knowledge in the mind. Young children
learn from and about the natural world through hands on experiences
exploring dioramas at Museums.”
The need that the program or project fulfills, the population targeted, and
the estimated number of people who will be served by the grant: During the average school tour children do not interact
with museum educators. However, Explore More allows students to sit and listen to and interact with museum educators
and real scientists currently working in their fields. Our students come from throughout Maricopa County from a range of
backgrounds. Recent articles reveal that science literacy among adults in the U.S. is comparatively low. Arizona’s
nonprofits are stepping in to fill the gap. In 2019 up to 5,000 children from kindergarten through 8th grade will benefit
through these school trips which carry a modest fee, reduced for schools where children qualify for free and reduced
lunch. Arizona leads the nation in high school dropout rates. Cultural institutions provide out of school learning
experiences where children can immerse themselves in alluring environments
allowing for knowledge creation. Educational programming through the
museum teaches scientific process and encourages critical thinking. The
project connects schoolchildren with current science and scientists,
empowering them to construct their own identity as a scientist. The
instructional enhancements improve K-12 core curricula during afterschool
hours, to ensure that all students graduate from high school prepared to
succeed in college and workforce. Education programs at the Museum
complement core competencies taught in school, supplement science literacy
teaching, and align with Arizona Standards.
The partners in the program, and other entities providing funding and support: Although the Foundation is applying to the
Tohono O’odham Nation, Ak-Chin Community, Gila River Indian Community and Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian
Community for funding for other projects, AzMNH is not approaching any other tribal entity for funding for Explore
More. Other funders are listed on our income budget, and identified funders include Kinder Morgan, Cox Charities,
Cardinals Charities and others which are being researched.
The timetable for implementation of the program: AzMNH markets the program throughout the year. The program is
offered independently or as a combined field trip at AzMNH and Mesa Grande. The trips must be booked a minimum of 2
weeks in advance of trip, available Tuesday-Friday August through May at AzMNH, where the museum is opened one
hour earlier at 9:00am exclusively for the group. MGCP Explore More runs Wednesday through Friday, October through
May (MGCP is an outdoor facility and becomes hot.) MGCP Explore More can be done any time of the school day.
Informal evaluations are collected and compiled at the end of the school year.

On behalf of the children benefitting through these programs, thank you for this opportunity.
Sincerely,
Thomas H. Wilson, PhD, Executive Director Encl. budget, tax letter

Project Summary: In 2012, CTC launched the state’s first and only medical respite care
program for homeless men and women living on the streets with acute medical conditions or in
need of ongoing medical care for recovery after discharge from a hospital. For the residential
aspects of the program, CTC receives no government support or reimbursement. The shelter
aspects of the program includes, but is not limited to, providing patients with food, clothing,
beds, bed linens, laundry, and janitorial services-- the cost of these services is $75.00 per day,
per patient. An average patient stay is 30 days--this is a cost of $2,250 per month, per patient.

NARRATIVE
1. Proposed Project: Circle the City (CTC) seeks funding of $25,000 for its medical
respite care program. This program, which began in 2012, is a continuing CTC program.
2. Purpose of the Program: CTC’s medical respite care program addresses the Fort
McDowell Yavapai Nation’s funding priority regarding health. Founded by Sister Adele
O’Sullivan, CSJ, MD, in 2008, Circle the City’s (CTC) mission is to create and deliver
innovative healthcare solutions that compassionately address the needs of men, women
and children facing homelessness. CTC has created a homeless-specific continuum of
care, consisting of primary healthcare, mobile medical outreach, medical respite care
and wrap-around services that address patients' social needs, including obtaining
identification, health insurance, transportation, and income enrollment.
Respite patients meet daily with providers to ensure that their medical needs are
addressed, including chronic disease management and maintenance of geriatric conditions
such as cognitive impairment and frailty. Along with primary health supports, additional
on-site services include: pain management; medication management; psychiatric
evaluation and treatment; substance abuse intervention; physical therapy; occupational
therapy. Patients also work closely and regularly with case managers to apply for
necessary documentation (identity, income,); benefits including income and health
insurance; and housing. These measures are taken to ensure that patients are successfully
discharged to safe living environments. The program discharges approximately 75% of
its patients to safe living environments—living arrangements/housing other than the
streets or other than an emergency shelter.
CTC’s medical respite care program offers patients experiencing homelessness,
regardless of their ability to pay, an opportunity to heal in an environment of respect and
dignity as they journey toward healthy, independent living.
3. Need: The target population for CTC’s medical respite care program are persons
experiencing homelessness who have been living on the streets with acute conditions or
who are in need of ongoing medical care for recovery after discharge from a hospital.
CTC expects to provide recuperative, short-term residential medical respite services to
approximately 900 women and men during FY2019 between two sites of service—a 50-
bed respite care center in central Phoenix and a 50-bed medical respite care center on the
Human Services Campus in downtown Phoenix, near the State capitol complex. For the
remainder of 2019 and going forward, CTC anticipates that both medical respite care
centers will operate at 90% capacity.
CTC operates Arizona’s only medical respite center for homeless adults. Prior to the
first respite center opening in October 2012, Phoenix was the largest city in the country
without a homeless-focused medical respite center. CTC’s Medical Respite Center has
quickly become one of the nation’s leading models for holistic, integrated homeless
2

healthcare. Since launching in 2012, the medical respite care program has cared for more
than 2,000 patients.
As a provider of medical services, CTC is reimbursed for the medical care it provides.
CTC’s medical respite care program is residential and so functions as a shelter for our
patients. For the residential aspects of the program, CTC receives no government
support or reimbursement. The shelter aspects of the program includes, but is not limited
to, providing patients with food, clothing, beds, bed linens, laundry, and janitorial
services. The cost of these services is $75.00 per day, per patient. An average patient
stay is 30 days. This is a cost of $2,250 per month, per patient.
4. Partners: For its medical respite care program, CTC works closely with Hospice of the
Valley, Central Arizona Shelter Services, the Human Services Campus, Dignity Health,
and HonorHealth. CTC seeks funding for this program from corporations, private
foundations, private donors, and tribal governments.
5. Timetable for the Project: CTC launched its medical respite care program in 2012 by
opening a 50-bed medical respite care center in central Phoenix. In August 2018, CTC
opened its second 50-bed medical respite care center on the Human Services Campus in
Phoenix. The program is in continual operation: 24/7, 365 days a year.

Project Summary: In 2017, Arizona had 337 preventable child deaths. The Keep
Your Baby Safe Program, administered by the Center for
Family Health and Safety at Phoenix Children’s, provides home
safety and safe sleep education in a two‐hour training session,
while providing home safety kits to all participants. The
Program partners with more than 40 community agencies to
bring education and training to families in an effort to reduce
hospital visits resulting from preventable injuries incurred
from unsafe practices.

Phoenix Children’s Hospital Foundation extends its heartfelt appreciation for Fort McDowell Yavapai
Nation’s partnership. We are grateful for the opportunity to present an application for a Prop 202 Grant
request below.
Narrative: The Center for Family Health and Safety at Phoenix Children's demonstrates our strong
commitment to the community with a focus on programs designed to keep kids out of the Hospital.
According to the American College of Surgeons (ACS), a staggering 93 percent of pediatric traumas that
arrive in hospitals are preventable*. Unfortunately, in Arizona traumatic injuries kill more children
between the ages of one to fourteen years than any other cause (*Source CDC Arizona). In 2017, Arizona
recorded 337 preventable child deaths. The Center for Family Health and Safety brings the latest research
and cutting-edge prevention programs to the Greater Phoenix area, and its reach extends to the entire state
of Arizona. We identify these vulnerable and historically underserved populations utilizing emergency
room data, preventable child injury trends and community referrals. Our injury prevention specialists
target those communities to deliver education, program development and advocacy around:
 Child Passenger Safety
 Home Safety
 Water Safety
 Helmet and Pedestrian Safety
 Parenting Classes
 Child Abuse Prevention
Phoenix Children’s Hospital respectfully
requests a grant award of $20,022 in support
of the Keep Your Baby Safe Program. Funds will allow the purchase of home safety equipment for
the Keep Your Baby Safe Program. These kits will provide parents the tools needed to make
important changes in the home to keep children safe and prevent injuries.
The Keep Your Baby Safe Program provides home safety and safe sleep education in a two-hour training
session, while providing home safety kits to all participants. Through this program, we are able to reduce
hospital visits resulting from preventable injuries incurred from unsafe practices. The Program works with
more than 40 community agencies including social service agencies, churches, schools and family
resource centers to maintain a referral program. Collaborating agencies identify and refer families who
would benefit from training and education. These agencies identify parents/caregivers who are engaging
in unsafe practices and refer participants based on financial need.
The purpose of the program or project and how it meets one or more of Fort McDowell’s funding
priorities The Keep Your Baby Safe Program at Phoenix Children’s is the only one of its kind in
Arizona. The purpose of the Program is to identify and educate families about the importance of home
safety. By providing education and resource materials, families can make the necessary changes in their
own homes that can prevent childhood injuries and even deaths. The curriculum titled “When was the last
time that you crawled?” teaches parents the importance of baby proofing a home early to change
behaviors, improve a child’s safety and prevent home injuries. The Program incorporates written home
safety materials and a safety kit for all participants. The objective is for all participants in the Program to
increase their knowledge of safe practices in the home and demonstrate an increased level of confidence
to make these crucial changes. The Keep Your Baby Safe Program closely aligns with Fort McDowell
Yavapai Nation’s focus on children’s health and safety programs by educating families on how to reduce
the risk of preventable injuries for their children.
The need that the program or project aims to fulfill, the population targeted, and the estimated
number of people who will be served by the grant. The ultimate goal of the Keep Your Baby Safe

Program is to reduce infant and child mortality and preventable household injury significantly in Arizona.
The Keep Your Baby Safe Program provides safety strategies to prevent:
• Falls- On average, nine children under the age of five are treated in emergency departments for
injuries from falls each day in the United States.
• Choking- Every three minutes a child is treated in the emergency department due to toy-related
choking incidents.
• Drowning- During summers in the United States, a child drowns every five days.
• Poisonings- The rate of hospitalization and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit admission for pediatric
opioid ingestions is increasing every year. Nine out of every ten poisonings for children ages 12
and younger involve medication errors or unsupervised children taking medicine on their own.
• Fire and burns- Every two and a half hours someone dies in a home fire. In a typical year,
20,000 people suffer injuries related to home fires. Nearly 65 percent of reported home fire deaths
resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms, or dysfunctional alarms. Cooking is the
number one cause of home fires and burn injuries.
A grant of $20,022 from Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation would impact the lives of more than 2,500
children with the purchase of home safety equipment for the Keep Your Baby Safe Program kits. The
Program is designed in direct response to the upward trend of preventable household injuries occurring in
underserved communities. Historically, underserved populations include those with a lower household
income, racial and ethnic minorities, refugees and immigrants. The Keep Your Baby Safe Program
consists of a two-hour instructor led course, which includes distribution of a home safety kit containing
the necessary tools to implement the safety course content. The home safety kit allows families to baby
proof their homes and use best practices before a child begins to crawl. The following items are provided
to participants upon completion of the class:
• 2 Furniture straps • Cabinet locks
• 1 Auto sensor led night light • 1 Fire extinguisher
• 2 Window locks • 1 Smoke alarm
• 1 Medicine lock box
The partners in the program or project, and other entities providing funding and support (please
indicate whether the organization will be submitting applications to any other tribes). The Center for
Family Health and Safety has partnered with more than 40 community organizations to help identify
families and communities in need of home safety education. Additionally, the Center has teamed with the
Arizona Burn Foundation to provide this education and disseminate materials to identified families. The
Program has received financial support from Toyota Valley Dealers, Butterflies Foundation and the
Stardust Foundation.
Since 2011, Phoenix Children’s has partnered with the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community, the
Tohono O’odham Nation, the Gila River Indian Community and the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation.
This year, the Hospital anticipates submissions to Tohono O’odham Nation and Salt River Pima Maricopa
Indian Community. The planned applications to the other tribes include requests for programs and
projects unrelated to the Keep Your Baby Safe Program.
The timetable for implementation of the program or project. Through the duration of the grant cycle
courses will be provided up to four times per month in both English and Spanish. Additionally, nurses and
physicians request injury prevention specialists to provide one-on-one education to families and promote
awareness of unsafe conditions and practices. Injury prevention specialists conduct bedside consults with
parents of patients admitted to the emergency room with preventable injuries.
We are grateful to Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation for your continued support of Phoenix Children's
Hospital and the families we serve. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

First Place® AZ Learning for Independence Workshops for Adults with Autism
Applicant Information: First Place AZ – 3001 N. Third St. – Phoenix, AZ 85012
Primary Contact: Denise D. Resnik – Founder, President & CEO (same address as above)
602-228-3928 – denise@firstplaceaz.org
1. Project Summary/Proposed Program
First Place AZ requests funding of $50,000 for the development of the First Place AZ Learning for
Independence Workshops at the new four-story residential community for adults with autism and other
different abilities. This first new property, First Place–Phoenix, opened in July 2018 in the heart of the
urban region after nearly two decades of planning. We will develop the workshops using our current
Learn4Independence® (L4I) 32-course curriculum that focuses on a wide range of skills necessary to
successfully live independently.
Funding for this project will enable First Place to use the curriculum already being taught at the First
Place Transition Academy to develop a pilot program for a selection of workshops targeted at a broader
audience. This pilot project would enable First Place to reach a greater number of individuals with a
condensed version of our current L4I curriculum, modified as focused workshops to accommodate
special populations in the broader community, including adult members of Arizona tribes.
The L4I curriculum was specifically developed for individuals on the autism spectrum and is currently
taught over a two-year timeframe, with a four-semester model. Courses are 17 weeks in length, with
eight courses taught per semester. Each course is designed with a similar structure to present new
information, assess knowledge via worksheets, midterms and final exams, along with the application of
learning through the development of projects and presentations. Courses start with basic information
and build to more advanced concepts to support independent living. Topics range from work, finances
and personal relationships to health, nutrition and safety.
2. Purpose of Program
The proposed workshop program meets the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation’s “education” and
“economic and community development” funding priority areas. It fits with how First Place is helping
individuals to learn and practice independent living skills in preparation for volunteering, employment
and more joyful, meaningful lives as valued members of their communities, wherever that may be. First
Place intends to develop a workshop series sustainable through public support, including Dept. of
Education and Division of Developmental Disabilities funding.
First Place AZ is a nonprofit charitable organization established in 2012 with the mission to develop
communities that integrate adults with autism and other special abilities into the fabric of society
through housing, healthcare, education, employment, supportive systems and culture. Our goal is to
ensure that housing and community options are as bountiful for individuals with autism and other
disabilities as they are for everyone else.
Led by market principles, First Place is creating replicable residential and post-secondary education
models that promote collaboration among the private, public, nonprofit and philanthropic sectors to
serve as catalysts for advancing public policy focused on housing solutions for special populations. Such
advances support local economic development and create opportunities for volunteerism, employment
and independent/interdependent living for members of this population.
First Place AZ is leveraging the investment of 20-plus years in community development by the
Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC), our sister nonprofit, by addressing the needs of
an ever-increasing population of children with autism transitioning to adulthood in record numbers—
approximately 60,000 per year in the U.S., a number that is on the rise. Our work has captured the
attention of PBS NewsHour through two nationally broadcast segments featuring Greater Phoenix as
“the world’s most autism-friendly city.”
Set in the heart of the urban region, our first property, First Place–Phoenix, broke ground in
December 2016 and opened to residents in July 2018. This unique development offers three primary
components: 1) The First Place Apartments provide access to various services and amenities—with all
the benefits of community-connected, independent living—by a broad range of differently abled adults;

2) The First Place Transition Academy offers courses and life skills-based training, including career
development, to help residents find employment and live more independently; and 3) The First Place
Global Leadership Institute serves as an international training center for professionals, direct support
service providers and medical personnel, and a robust site for research and public-policy advancements.
3. Program Need and Population Served
Once the decision is made to take that major next step to First Place or another place away from the
family home, parents themselves face a whole new set of challenges: how to ensure their adult children
will be able to gain the skills they need to live independent lives for the very first time. First Place
recognizes the need for innovative solutions in light of current data and these lifelong challenges:
• Autism is the largest disability group among adults in the U.S.
• The incidence of autism today is 1 in 59 compared with 1 in 2,500 20 years ago.
• The unemployment rate among adults with autism is 86%.
• The lifetime incremental cost per individual in this population: $2.4 million
The target population served by First Place is adults ages 18 and older with autism and other special
abilities. At this model property, approximately 300 residents, community members, family members
and professionals will have access to the benefits of the Learning for Independence Workshops,
resulting in ongoing, future exponential impact throughout Maricopa County and beyond. With funding
from Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, First Place will actively address family concerns for their loved ones’
ability to live more independently through access to the Learning for Independence Workshops.
4. Program Partners
Workshop development and implementation will fall under the auspices of the Maricopa County IDA
Center for Training, Education & Employment, one of five First Place Global Leadership Institute centers.
First Place will select six to eight subjects from the current 32-course L4I curriculum to launch this pilot
program, which will be housed at First Place–Phoenix. The Global Leadership Institute will train
instructors and staff members, and oversee the overall operation of the workshops.
First Place is also partnering with The Precisionists, Inc. in a landmark jobs initiative titled the
“Phoenix Precision Project” to create 1,000 new jobs in Arizona within the next three to five years for
adults with autism and other neuro-diversities. TPI is a Delaware-based national company that creates
jobs for and trains individuals across a broad range of different abilities, including autism. Individuals
who meet program enrollment criteria (to be determined before launching the pilot) will also have
access to TPI’s qualification process for employment. The Department of Economic Security and Salt
River Project currently participate as employers of adults with autism, including several residents of First
Place–Phoenix. Funding for the workshops would also provide additional career-readiness opportunities
to residents and community members.
As a First Place partner, the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation would receive recognition for its support
of the Learning for Independence Workshops for Adults with Autism at First Place–Phoenix.
First Place received two grants (2016 and 2017) from the Salt River Pima–Maricopa Indian
Community for the purchase of all appliances for the First Place Apartments and teaching kitchens. We
also received a grant (2018) from the Gila River Indian Community for the funding of oven/stove shut-off
safety equipment and security cameras.
5. Timetable
Sharing the benefits of our L4I independent living curriculum beyond First Place and with the community
at large has been one of our primary goals from the start. An August notification date would help us to
launch the implementation of this yearlong pilot workshop program to begin as early as this fall.

Project Summary: Ryan House would like to thank the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation for the generous 2018 grant. If
funded, Ryan House will use a 2019 Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation grant award to provide continuing support for 100
medically-fragile children with life-limiting and terminal conditions. Our services include Respite, Palliative, and End-of-
Life Care. No other organization duplicates Ryan House’s in-facility services in the southwest.
Narrative:
1. Proposed Program: Ryan House is seeking $15,000 in funding to support its Respite, Palliative, and End-of-Life Care
Program for Children with Life-Limiting and Terminal Conditions. This is a continuing program.
2. Purpose of the program and how it meets Fort McDowell’s funding priority (Health): Ryan House ’s program in need
of funding is our Respite, Palliative, and End-of-Life Care for Children with Life-Limiting and Terminal Conditions
Program. Details for each area of service follow below.
Respite Care (Health): Respite care is a gift of time; it consists of short-term, overnight stays that relieve families of the
daily stress of home care. These stays at Ryan House are designed to give families a break from the 24-hour-a-day needs
of their child. Respite care allows parents to reconnect with one another and give siblings rare time alone with their
parents. Critically, this care provides the child with a comfortable, away-from-home experience, which is one way of
normalizing their life, and it offers an opportunity to make friends and participate in activities otherwise unavailable to
them. Families can stay at Ryan House with their child in a less active care role, or the child can stay on their own,
knowing that exceptional, world-class care will be provided by trained medical professionals. Each child can receive up
to 28 days (672 hours) of overnight stays at Ryan House per year, at no cost to the family.
Palliative Care (Health): This care focuses on enhancing quality of life for the child and family, minimizing suffering,
optimizing functions, and providing opportunities for personal growth. Effective management of pain and other
distressing symptoms, together with psycho-social and spiritual care, are of critical importance beginning at diagnosis
and continuing throughout the course of a child's life. Our skilled and dedicated Care Team that provides hands-on-care
around the clock includes registered nurses, certified nursing assistants, medical directors – physicians that are experts
Page 1 of 2

in the pediatric care of children with special healthcare needs – social workers, a certified Child Life Specialist, a non-
denominational chaplain, and volunteers. Parents and siblings have the opportunity to stay overnight in our family suite
to be close to their child as well.
End-of-Life Care (Health): Families with a child facing end-of-life receive supportive planning and care consistent with
clinical, cultural, and ethical standards. From diagnosis through end-of-life, Ryan House provides a comprehensive
program of family-centered care including medical, psychological, social, and spiritual support service and therapies.
Activities provided include full medical and hospice care, activities to strengthen family relationships, and activities to
enhance their overall quality of life; all end-of-life planning and care is family-driven and family-focused. Our approach
addresses the emotional, spiritual, and social needs of the family while also providing relief of the symptoms, pain, and
stress associated with any serious illness.
3. The need for the program, population targeted, and estimated number of children who will be served by this grant:
This program is desperately needed because the inpatient (facility-based) pediatric end-of-life and hospice care services
and programs of Ryan House are not duplicated anywhere else. Furthermore, the financial burden related to costly
medical treatments and care often results in the loss of jobs, homes, bankruptcy, and even the breakdown of a family;
therefore, all Ryan House services are provided free-of-charge to families.
The target population served by our program includes approximately 100 children between the ages of birth – 18, living
in Arizona, with life-limiting and terminal conditions. The children we serve suffer from conditions that cause significant
functional impairment and are diagnosed by medical professionals to be irreversible and terminal. These children are
not expected to live into their twenties and require 24/7 medical care. Medically-fragile children served (ages birth
through 18) typically suffer from approximately 75 different diagnoses, including: blood disorders, various cancers,
congenital abnormalities and syndromes, neuro-degenerative disorders, cystic fibrosis, cardio-pulmonary illnesses,
consequences of tragic accidents, such as near drownings and car crashes, shaken baby syndrome, muscular dystrophy,
brain defects, undiagnosed genetic conditions, and more. At Ryan House, we wrap our arms and hearts around each
one of these children and their families. During our last fiscal year:
• 156+ children were enrolled in the respite program;
• Top diagnoses of the children served included cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, mitochondrial disease, and
brain deformation/trauma;
• 35 children passed away at Ryan House; and
• Approximately 50% of children served were male and 50% were female.
In addition, the children receiving Hospice services were: 46% Caucasian; 18% Hispanic; 3% Native American; 3% African
American; 27% Undefined; and 3% Other. The $15,000 requested will serve 100 children. For families who have a child
diagnosed with a life-threatening condition, daily life is a constant struggle.
4. Partners: Hospice of the Valley. Other entities providing funding and support: Ryan House’s current contributors
include: Thunderbirds Charities, Three Desert Winds Foundation, Season for Sharing, Otto & Edna Neely Foundation,
the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust, Sundt Foundation, Kemper & Ethel Marley Foundation, SRPMIC, Gila River
Indian Community, Fiesta Bowl Charities, and many other individual supporters.
5. Timetable for implementation of the program: Since we are requesting support for a continuing program, our
timetable starts upon notification of funding from the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation: September 1, 2019 and ends
on August 31, 2020 (12 months).

Project Summary:
This program will provide youth (ages 14-18) with professional development skills and help them
understand the concept of equity. The goal is to educate youth with hopes they will become catalysts of
change in their communities. The more we involve youth, the more likely they will become leaders,
accelerating positive change, which should create ripple effects throughout our communities. Youth will
learn about their community, the factors that contribute to its health and develop a health
improvement project that they will lead and implement. As a backbone organization, Maricopa County
Department of Public Health (MCDPH) will bring in community stakeholders that can engage for results.

Program Narrative:
1. The proposed program or project, and whether it is a new or continuing project.
The goal is of this project is to engage youth in a program using positive youth development
principles that will develop life skills, improve community health and increase the sense of community
connectedness. Youth will asses the needs of their communities and develop and implement a
community health improvement project. The program will focus on building and developing protective
factors in youth such as community connectedness and positive relationships with adult mentors.
Research has shown that these protective factors have lasting positive outcomes for youth as they
transition to adulthood and prevent many negative health outcomes. Throughout the program youth
will learn important life skills such as communication, goal setting, healthy decision making and many
more.
Youth will participate in a one week training that will consist of team building and skill building
activities. They will learn what makes a community healthy, principles of health equity, how to assess
the needs of the community, and how to design an action plan to address community improvement.
After the training, the youth will have bi-weekly meetings to work on the implementation of their plan.
They will also attend community events and other leadership opportunities as they arise. During the
week long training and in each meeting, the youth will also participate in skill building or health
education sessions. These will range from stress management, tobacco and e-cigarette prevention,
healthy relationships, nutrition, goal setting, time management, resume writing and effective
communication skills, just to name a few. The combination of working on a community health
improvement project and learning life skills will provide the youth a chance to use the skills they learn
and to develop themselves in many important areas.
This is a new project based off of a pilot program that took place in the Maryvale neighborhood
during the summer of 2018. With the lessons learned, MCDPH will be developing a new program that
will engage youth in both the Sunnyslope and Maryvale neighborhoods within Phoenix.
2. The purpose of the program or project and how it meets one or more of Fort McDowell’s
funding priorities (i.e., education, public safety, health, environment, and economic and
community development)
This program will focus on health and community development. Youth participants will be learning
more about their community and connecting with resources and community members. They will be
working towards improving an aspect of the health of the community, resulting in positive community
development and improved environment. As members of the community, the youth will also be
contributing to community growth by becoming more productive and effective members. Youth will be
learning about their own health and how to improve it as well as making contributions to the health of
their community and peers.
3. The need that the program or project aims to fulfill, the population targeted, and the
estimated number of people who will be served by the grant.
The target population are youth between the ages of 14-18 who live in the Maryvale and
Sunnyslope neighborhoods located in the city of Phoenix. The goal is to enroll 20 youth in each
community with a total of 40 youth participating in the program. We will also work with 7 youth who are
part of a Youth Steering Committee in Maryvale who will act as youth leaders and advising the program.
The broader impact of the program will benefit community members in both neighborhoods through
the community health improvement plan as well as the families and peers of the youth participating in
the program.

Maricopa County Department of Public Health----Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation

Both the Sunnyslope and Maryvale neighborhoods have a lower socio-economic status when
compared to other neighborhoods in Phoenix. Both neighborhoods have the majority of youth living in
households that are below federal poverty level. The majority of residents in the neighborhoods identify
as Hispanic/Latino, so the need for culturally tailored and informed programming is essential. 40% of the
population in Maryvale are under the age of 19, so there is a large need for services for youth.
This program will fulfill a unique need for youth, as an opportunity outside of school, in which they
can connect with their peers, learn valuable life skills and lead a program that is important to them.
Schools and other programs are often led by adults and don’t offer the opportunities to learn
developmental skills and put those skills into practice. From data collected during the pilot program in
Maryvale, we observed that youth felt more confident, learned new skills, improved communication and
felt more connected to their community as a result of the program.
4. The partners in the program or project, and other entities providing funding and support
(please indicate whether the organization will be submitting applications to any other tribes)
Partners that will be participating in this project consist of various programs within Maricopa County
Department of Public Health, ASU Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions, City of
Phoenix, Maryvale Revitalization Corporation, Chicanos Por La Causa, City of Phoenix Council District 5,
Desert Mission Food bank, Keep Phoenix Beautiful and local schools and school districts.
At this time, we do not intend to apply for any other tribal grants.
5. The timetable for implementation of the program or project.
Early fall 2019: MCDPH will hold week long training for youth- this will either be in conjunction with the
high schools’ Fall Break or take place over multiple weekends.
Fall semester 2019: Meet with youth on a bi-weekly basis to work towards the implementation of the
community health improvement plan. The youth will participate in relevant community events as they
arise and will potentially meet during the weekends as needed.
Winter break 2019: Mid-point training/conference. This will be a chance for the youth to meet back to
together as a full group and assess and celebrate the progress they have made on the project
implementation and adjust any of their objectives and activities as needed.
Spring semester 2020: Continue meeting with the youth on a bi-weekly basis and attend relevant
community meetings. In May of 2020 the youth will attend Governors Office of Youth Faith and Family:
Youth Leadership Conference.
May 2020: Final meeting and celebration. This day long event will be an opportunity for the youth to
celebrate their accomplishments and share a presentation with their families and community members.

1. The proposed program or project, and whether it is a new or continuing project.
Arizona YWCA Metropolitan Phoenix requests $25,000 for our Senior Meals program that
provides daily meals, social activities, companionship, and transportation to 1,200 low-
income senior and disabled adults in the Glendale area. YWCA coordinates services among
four locations to provide nutritionally-balanced hot meals at noon, educational opportunities,
self-improvement activities, health screenings, health fairs, activities, and outings to engage
and support clients. YWCA delivers meals and companionship to home-bound clients and
provides transportation as needed. Home meal delivery also serves as a social visit and
wellness check. These visits often loneliness, isolation, and mental health status checks. The
Centers also provide pet food for client animal companions through our We Feed Four Feet
program. All YWCA program staff are trained and undergo background checks.
Program Goal:
1) Seniors and/or disabled adults eat at least one nutritious meal each week day.
Objectives:
1) Provide 36,000 congregate meals to seniors and disabled adults in the Glendale area at
one of four multi-cultural centers.
2) Deliver 67,000 hot, nutritious meals to homes of seniors and disabled adults unable to visit
one of our Centers.
Activities:
1) Serve one hot, nutritious meal each weekday at one of three senior center locations and
once a month at an additional senior center.
2) Registered dietitian approves all meal menus.
3) Provide transportation to and from each senior center location for congregate lunch
participants.
4) Provide meal delivery for homebound participants.
5) Schedule Health and Wellness presentations at two centers twice a month.
6) Provide socialization activities, special events, community resources, supplemental food
programs, health fairs, and health screenings to address loneliness and isolation.
In 2017-18 we served 98,283 meals to 1,162 unduplicated seniors through the YWCA Meals
on Wheels and congregate meals program and we provided 10,800 rides through YWCA
assistance through the Dial-A-Ride program. We provided 1,620 programs to senior and
disabled and disabled and provided more than 1,800 programs. We provided meals for
approximately 50 pets through the “We Feed Four Feet” program for our Meals on Wheels
clients.

2. The purpose of the program or project and how it meets one or more of Fort McDowell’s
funding priorities (i.e., education, public safety, health, environment, and economic and
community development)
This program serves the public by providing nutritious hot meals, disease prevention,
wellness activities, recreational activities that promote physical fitness, nutrition in seniors and
disabled adults.
3. The need that the program or project aims to fulfill, the population targeted, and the
estimated number of people who will be served by the grant.
One in five Arizonans said that there were times in the past 12 months that they didn't have
enough money to buy food that they or their families needed. St. Mary's Food Bank reports
that 1 in 7 Arizona seniors live in poverty, and Arizona's hunger rates are higher than national
averages. Glendale's fastest growing population segment is baby boomers ages 55 to 64.
Meals on Wheels recently found that 83% of low-income seniors do not receive the home
delivered meals they need. The US Senate Committee on Education and Labor maintains that
proper nutrition extends seniors' lives and helps them maintain independence when
combined with recreation, socialization and education. Nutrition programs prevent or delay
placement of seniors in nursing homes and help people manage chronic health conditions.
The YWCA works to nourish and support seniors in Glendale and El Mirage. The target
population is low-income seniors and disabled adults in Glendale AZ and surrounding
communities. Key findings include that 57% of participants report their meal from YWCA as
their main meal and 47% report as their only meal of the day. This program will serve
approximately 1,200 low-income disabled adults and seniors in Glendale aged 55 years and
older.
4. The partners in the program or project, and other entities providing funding and support
(please indicate whether the organization will be submitting applications to any other tribes).
The YWCA collaborates and shares resource with several agencies in the west Valley with a
goal to eliminate elderly hunger, and the only organization that delivers meals to the elderly
in the West Valley. The Valley West Senior Center coordinates meal service and delivery
among three other multi-cultural centers including Glendale Community Center, Glendale
Adult Center, and the Japanese Senior Center. The City of Glendale provides recreation and
socialization activities. St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance shares maintenance food and supply
items, and stocks our food pantry with take home items. Gleaners Brown Bag Program
supplies free food products out of the Valley West Senior Center weekly and Waste Not
provides excess food products. The YWCA Center also collaborates with the Area Agency on
Aging to develop, coordinate, and deliver services to seniors. For more than 10 years, the
YWCA Center also provides free use of our facility and multi-passenger van during off hours
to the DEFAP and Fiesta Mexicana Dance Company, nonprofit whose mission is to reduce
teenage drug abuse. YWCA will submit applications to Tohono O’odham and Gila River
Indian Community.
5. Timetable for implementation of your program or project. This is a year round program
with a fiscal year ending on June 30th.

Request: $5,000 for the New Clothes, New Beginnings program
1) The proposed program or project, and whether it is a new or continuing project
This continuing program provides new school uniforms, clothes, athletic shoes, backpacks,
school supplies, and hygiene items to up to 5,000 low-income children. Another 4,000 low-
income children throughout Arizona receive backpacks filled with school and hygiene supplies.
Beneficiaries are Kindergarten to 6th grade children from low-income families attending a
partner Maricopa County Title I public elementary school. All items are new and BTSCD ensures
that all partner school uniform requirements and other clothing and quality standards are met.
Staff consults with schools to confirm needs and allocate the inventory. Officials from each
partner school or social service agency select students most in need of assistance to attend.
Hundreds of volunteers help convert the Grand Canyon University Sports Arena into a retail
store for one week in July to distribute the clothing and supplies to students. Each day during
the event 1,000 students arrive by bus to select their clothes and supplies, escorted by a school
appoitned chaperone. Daily, about 400 volunteers help the children find their school's uniforms
in the right size and all the supplies they need.
Each child who attends the event receives two shorts or skorts, two polo shirts, one belt, one
sweatshirt, one hand-sewn item, three pairs of socks and underwear, one pair of shoes, and
one backpack filled with school supplies and hygiene items. Students also select items from the
Stitches of Love department. This department is filled with clothing and accessories hand-sewn
by volunteer seamstresses year round, and other items for the children to choose from.
Students also select new books to take home with them, provided for by the Alpha Delta Kappa
sorority. During the event students participate in activities including free dental screenings,
STEM camps for older children, and other event day activities.
Indicators: 90% of students registered receive school uniforms or clothing, backpacks and
school supplies.
Outputs
1) 5,000 students receive two complete school outfits and one backpack filled with school
supplies and hygiene items
2) 4,000 backpacks filled with school supplies distributed to students from low-income families
through local nonprofit organizations and in northern Arizona through the BHHS Legacy
Backpack Buddies program.

2) The purpose of the program or project and how it meets one or more of Fort McDowell’s
funding priorities (i.e., education, public safety, health, environment, and economic and
community development).
This request satifies the education focus by helping families properly clothe and supply their
children for school. The goal of New Clothes, New Beginnings is to help Title I Maricopa County
elementary schools reduce a barrier to attendance by providing clothing assistance to children
in need. The program provides basic needs to support and positively impact the student, family,
school, and community.
3) The need that the program or project aims to fulfill, the population targeted, and the
estimated number of people who will be served.
It isn’t unusual to hear children complain they don’t have a thing to wear, but in thousands of
Arizona homes this isn’t an exaggeration. Some children actually stay home because their
families can’t afford the required attire – perhaps they can only afford one uniform set, so only
one sibling goes to school each day. To give these working poor families the help they need,
BTSCD offers services to Title I schools. Title I designation means that at least 40% of students
qualify for the National School Lunch Program, or NSLP. The target population is low-income K-
6th grade students attending a Title I school in Maricopa County. Title I designation
means that a high percentage of students are educationally and economically disadvantaged.
Students who attend qualify for the National School Lunch Program, or NSLP. Families complete
a Household Income Application to qualify for the NSLP when they enroll their children. The
eligibility range for free or reduced-price lunches is annual income of no more than $43,568
for a family of four.
4) The partners in the program or project, and other entities providing funding and support
(please indicate whether the organization will be submitting applications to any other tribes);
and
Below is a list of partnerships that have been in place for many years for our program:
1. National Charities League: Provides and coordinates significant volunteer support.
2. BHHS Legacy Foundation and Legacy Connections: Provides major funding and other
support to provide 10,000 backpacks filled with supplies.
3. KPHO CBS 5: Official media partner for event week and telethon concurrent with
program activities.
4. Grand Canyon University: Provides space, event support and inventory storage for
distribution event.
5. Bank of America: Corporate sponsor and provides significant employee volunteer
support.
6. AT Still University: Provides dental screening.
5) The timetable for implementation of the program or project.

Project Summary
Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) is requesting $41,988.03 to assist schools with
enrollment in and purchase of supplies for a Stock Inhaler and Epinephrine for Schools Program. The
program will train school personnel to administer public health prescribed albuterol inhalers and
epinephrine (EPI) pens to individuals having an asthma attack or anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction)
without having to wait for an emergency responder. This program is modeled after a successful Pima
County program, which demonstrated reduced 9-1-1 calls, emergency transports, student absenteeism
and significant healthcare cost savings following county-wide program implementation. Fort McDowell
Yavapai Nation funding will allow MCDPH to provide sessions to facilitate school program enrollment,
application for free epinephrine through the Mylan EPiPen4Schools Program and the purchase of
albuterol inhalers and spacers for Title 1 Maricopa County schools.
Proposed Project: This program is a new MCDPH program modeled after a Pima County pilot program
to provide funding for supplies and assistance with enrollment in the Stock Inhaler and Epinephrine for
Schools Program. The two-year Pima County pilot school stock epinephrine auto-injector and stock
inhaler program led to a 20% reduction in 9-1-1 calls for respiratory distress, a 40% reduction in
emergency transports and decreased absenteeism by relieving breathing difficulties for students in
school. The University of Arizona estimated that this program would lead to an estimated $900,000 in
statewide cost savings as a result of the improved health outcomes above.
MCDPH is requesting $41,988.03 to host training sessions to assist 3215 staff from 643 schools with the
program enrollment process and to guide them through the application process for obtaining EPI-pens at
no cost. Title 1 schools will be offered albuterol inhalers and spacers free of charge with inhalers
purchased and distributed by the MCDPH pharmacy.
The Need: Anaphylaxis is a potentially life-threatening medical condition occurring in allergic individuals
after exposure to things including certain foods, medicine, latex, or an insect sting. Epinephrine is the drug
of choice for treatment of anaphylaxis, and should be given as soon as possible after symptoms occur.
About two children in every classroom has an unknown food allergy and nearly 40% have experienced a
severe or life threating allergic reaction. Of those 16-18% of severe allergic reactions occur in school.
About 10% of school-aged children have asthma. Asthma is the third leading cause of hospitalization
among children under the age of 15 years and is the leading cause of 9-1-1 calls and emergency transports
from schools in addition to being one of the leading causes of school absenteeism.

Because allergies and asthma are so common among school-aged children and are potentially life-
threatening, providing schools with the training and supplies to treat these health emergencies quickly,
is critical to public health. To enable schools to administer these potentially life-saving treatments,
Governor Jan Brewer signed the SB 1421 – “Stock Epinephrine Law” in 2013 and in 2017, Governor Doug
Ducey signed HB 2208 “Stock Inhalers for Schools.” These laws allow schools to purchase, store, and
administer epinephrine auto-injectors (EPI-pens) and albuterol sulfate (asthma inhalers) to anyone
experiencing a severe allergic reaction or asthma attack while at school on campus. These medications
can be safely given by trained school personnel and when given quickly, can be life-saving.
MCDPH has created a web-based application, the School Surveillance and Medication Program (SSMP)
where schools can obtain standing orders for prescriptions, however the one remaining barrier
preventing schools, especially those serving students with lower socio-economic status, is the cost of the
medications and supplies (EPI-pens, asthma inhalers and spacers). EPI-pens cost from $137 to $250 per
injector (four are required) and albuterol inhalers cost about $36, depending on the type and
manufacturer of each. Many schools, particularly Title 1 schools that serve low income families, will not
be able to afford the required EPI-pens and the inhalers required for participation in these programs.
MCDPH has identified a program that supplies the required type and number of EPI-pens (Mylan
EPiPen4Schools Program) but the application is time-consuming for already over-burdened school staff.
Fort McDowell’s Funding Priorities: The proposal directly meets Fort McDowell’s funding priorities of 1)
Health - by reducing emergency transports and hospitalizations for anaphylaxis and asthma; 2) Education
- learning sessions for school personnel on anaphylaxis and asthma attacks and administration of
medications; and 3) Economic and community development - it is anticipated this program will save over
$900,000 in Medicaid reimbursements from preventable ED visits and hospitalizations due to anaphylaxis
and asthma.
Purpose of Project: To ensure that all Maricopa County schools can implement their own school stock
epinephrine auto-injector and stock inhaler program, MCDPH created a web-based application, the
School Surveillance and Medication Program (SSMP). MCDPH has worked with partners including the
American Lung Association, Arizona Asthma Coalition, Thayer Medical, and the University of Arizona
Asthma & Airway Disease Research Center to provide all schools who enroll in the SSMP with the
following materials depending on the programs in which they wish to participate.
Stock Epinephrine Auto-injector Program
 Standing medical order to enable trained school personnel to administer epinephrine auto-
injector (EPI-pen)
 Resources for annual training of school site personnel
 Stock epinephrine protocol & action plan (e.g., for the recognition and management of
anaphylaxis)
 Stock epinephrine documentation logs (e.g. to comply with State of Arizona requirements)
Stock Inhaler Program
 Prescription for medication (albuterol sulfate metered dose inhaler)
 Disposable valve- holding chambers (e.g., LiteAire® spacers) for use with the inhaler
 Standing medical order to enable trained school personnel to administer albuterol
 Stock albuterol protocol & action plan (e.g., for the recognition and management of respiratory
distress)

 Stock albuterol documentation logs (e.g., to comply with State of Arizona requirements)
 Online training curriculum (e.g., Stock Inhaler Training for School Personnel)
Population Targeted: Maricopa County has 58 districts with over 1100 public and charter schools serving
over 800,000 students. This does not include other school staff who could potentially benefit from these
life-saving treatments. There are 643Title I schools in Maricopa County that would be eligible for a free
albuterol inhaler through this grant.
Program Partners: MCDPH is partnering with University of Arizona: Asthma & Airway Disease Research
Center for technical guidance in implementing this program; the Arizona Department of Health Services
provides an online training for Epinephrine; Thayer Pharmaceuticals who is donating 2500 Lite-Aire
disposable paperboard, dual valve- holding chambers or spacers at a cost of $2.95 each with a total
donation value of $7,375.00 American Lung Association and Arizona Asthma Coalition. MCDPH has not
submitted any applications to any other tribes for this program.
Timetable for implementation of the project:
September 2019 - April 2020 (This will align with the school year).
Budget/ Supplies:
Maricopa County schools (643) that may participate and additional requests for a second inhaler- may

of volunteerism every year working on WHAM community programs.
Narrative of no more than 2 pages.
The proposed program, and whether it is new or continuing: The project is ongoing with an expansion. WHAM’s Teen Art Club
is for ages 13 - 19 who come to WHAM once a week, Wednesdays from 4:30-6:30pm, and take art class from professional
artists - landscape sketching, 3d lighted sculpture, recycled arts, clay handbuilding and glazing, and more. The project
addresses all 11 Arizona Academic Anchor Standards in the Visual Arts.
The purpose of the program and how it meets Fort McDowell’s priorities: The project aligns with the priorities of education and
community development. We believe that picking up a paintbrush or handling clay beats picking up a more risky habit, and
inspires pride and self-worth. Art Club provides children in the culturally and economically diverse West Valley access to
quality art to positively impact their lives, and engage their creativity and imaginations. The West Valley, stretching 20-40 miles
from downtown Phoenix, has a proud agricultural history and is home ranchers, farmers, businesses, immigrant families, and
families who have lived here for generations, as well as an influx of young families moving to thriving new housing
developments and schools.
The need that the program or project fulfills, the population targeted, and the
estimated number of people who will be served by the grant: Arizona's official
education policy says art and music must be taught in our schools. In Arizona, when it
comes to providing students access to an arts education taught by a state certified
“highly qualified” teacher, schools still earn a grade of “need improvement1.” Fully
1 Published through a partnership with the Arizona Department of Education and the Arizona Commission on the Arts

115,000 students still lack access to qualified arts instruction, and nearly one third attend schools that do not meet the basic state arts
standards that require instruction in visual arts. Smaller and rural schools are less likely to offer arts education. 79% of Arizona schools
spend less than $1/pupil per year on art. As the only art center in our area, we are providing high standard art education to those who
would otherwise not receive it. WHAM has worked with several schools to create public art on their campus. Even recent restorations
to the state education budget fall short. Community non-profits help fill the academic gap with education programs which speak to the
whole child and range of learning styles. Art Club averages 20+ teens, who come together to learn, and produce a variety of art. Many
of our teens come from low-income families, and feel at home in WHAM’s structured,
supervised environment. The per capita income in our County is $27,816. While West
Valley residents’ affluency is uneven, many do not have the wherewithal for art classes. A
body of research stands behind the benefits of arts education for students, including
improved academic performance, greater leadership and social skills, advanced creative
problem solving skills, overall ability to compete in a 21st Century workforce, school
attendance, better grades and college attendance.
The partners in the program, and other entities providing funding and support: Although
WHAM is returning to the Tohono O’odham Nation for funding for its veterans program,
WHAM is not approaching any other tribal entity. AZ TechCelerator is a partner in the
expansion of Teen Club. We have
approached the Cardinals Charities and
Thunderbirds Charities for funding for Art Club. WHAM receives City funding for other
projects, and state funding for general operations and school outreach. Art Club is
publicized through schools, flyers and social media.
The timetable for implementation of the program: The kids come year round –
increasing classes to two per week in the summer. Teen Club exhibits in July with a
public reception. TechCelerator, a four-building campus, totaling 60,000 square feet is
designed to accommodate and incubate with affordable space, tools and resources to
grow young entrepreneurs. In 2019 WHAM will host Teen Art Club at TechCelerator as
an adjunct. The expansion is included in the attached budget. A project of Teen Art
Club is Wham On Wheels. This “Traveling Art Studio” is a mobile unit taking art to
parks and festivals. This service is offered to cities, groups, and businesses, for their
events. The WOW budget is not included in this request.
Attachments: Attach a detailed budget for the program or project
and any other relevant attachments (brochure) that will give the Grant Committee a fuller understanding of the
project. The budget is required; however, other attachments are optional. The application shall be no more than 4 pages in total, except for any
attachments.
On behalf of the teenagers and their communities benefitting through these programs, thank you for this
opportunity.
Sincerely,
Connie Whitlock

1. The proposed program or project, and whether it is a new or continuing project
In Arizona, 14,000 single parents battle cancer. With a cancer diagnosis usually comes treatment
including radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery. Chemotherapy causes severe fatigue in 98% of those
treated and radiation fatigue can last up to three months. Treatments leave patients in pain with sores
and rashes, anemic, dehydrated, bleeding and bruised, delirious, weak, and nauseous to the point that it
takes over their lives. Research shows patients are more likely to overcome a serious health diagnosis
with family or community support. The Singletons provides support services focused on day-to-day
needs of single parent families where a family member is being treated for cancer. The Singletons Family
Care Program provides meals, household necessities, a monthly bill pay stipend, morale boosting family
activities, and a support group. It is our goal to reduce stress so parents recover faster with fewer
complications, or can focus on caring for their sick child. Last year the Singletons served 96 families with
a total of 182 children. “I felt so alone after my cancer diagnosis and did not know how I was going to
support my girls, or if I could. Your services have helped me a lot,” Dianna, 33 year-old Singleton’s
parent with two daughters, ages 9 and 14, battling Stage 2 breast cancer.
A support system ensures patients keep their appointments and feed their bodies with healthy nutrients
for recovery, reduces stress, improves overall health, and most importantly, decreases chances of
recurrence. Each month, Singleton Kitchen volunteers assemble a variety of healthy meals for our
families purchased through Dream Dinners and deliver them on the 3rd Saturday each month. Bare
Necessities provides families with basic yet costly household items such as laundry detergent, paper
towels, toilet paper, solely through community drives. Singleton Pockets allocates a small stipend per
month paid directly toward the provider of a household bill such as rent, mortgage, or utilities. Singleton
Kids boosts morale and brings smiles to the faces of families hosting activities at fun venues, keeps kids
busy with crafts and activities when parents are collecting their Bare Necessities items, and Singletons
Santa, where other families adopt a client's family for the holiday season. We stock gift items and gift
wrap to celebrate birthdays and special occasions. And Seeds of Strength is a self-run support group of
Singleton's parents who have fun and support each other, including a monthly Parent's Night Out.
2. The purpose of the program or project and how it meets one or more of Fort McDowell’s funding
priorities (i.e., education, public safety, health, environment, and economic and community
development)
Michelle Singleton was a single, 32 year-old mother of four diagnosed with cancer in 2004. Her
childhood friends Jody Farley and Andy Royal McCandless sprang into action by making meals, cleaning
her house, paying a bill when able, and doing their best to lighten the load on Michelle and her children.
Jody and Andy discovered that practical resources for single parents with cancer were non-existent.
Although their beloved friend Michelle lost her battle with cancer a little more than a year later, the
one-of-a-kind model for Singleton Moms’ support services was born. In November 2006, Singleton
Moms, now The Singletons, became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to provide a
community dedicated to providing hope and support to single parent families affected by cancer. Our
program meets Fort McDowell’s health priority providing support and compassion for the difficult

challenges our families face, appreciation for those who support our mission, and strength to
courageously advocate for our families.
3. The need that the program aims to fulfill, the population targeted, and the estimated number of
people who will be served by the grant.

Fort McDowell Yavapai Native Grant Proposal
It is our mission to Educate, Encourage and Equip At-Risk youth to steer away from violence
while providing a safe environment for them! Minority violence is raging. Greater than 80% of crime
takes place in the inner city; we seek to lower this percentage to less than 20% by 2025. We are
accomplishing this through our After School program which has an 11 component curriculum, & an
all-day Summer Program for youth & teens. Through our curriculum we are successful in our efforts to
educate our youth & community in the area of health, safety, economic & community development.
Our ultimate goal is to build a large Community Life Center here in the heart of South Phoenix.
We have received between $10,000 & $15,000 annually from Maricopa County Attorney’s Office
which is currently the only Governmental Agency that supports what we do in Phoenix. The City of
Phoenix assists with In-Kind gifts, & general community support through our Block Watch
Program. Thus, we are seeking $50,000 (half our yearly budget) for 1 year to continue our
community programs.
Proposed Project
To continue our Summer youth E.M.P.L.O.Y. program and add a Summer Teen Academy of 15-20
students between the ages of 13 & 24. Our Teen Academy which will include STEAM, Job Training, Life
Skills, Drug, Gang, Violence, crime, & Gambling prevention; along with hiring 2 administrative assistant
employees & 2 instructors. Our goal is Education and Public Safety for the inner- city community which
has At- Risk youth. Our programs welcome children, youth, teens, young adults, and families. The
needs of families vary significantly, but the common thread relates to establishing a strong,
nurturing foundation which they may or may not be fortunate to experience at home. Positive
role models and healthy relationship are even foreign to some, but our community helps steer
them away from violence, truancy, drugs, alcohol gangs, or other high-risk behaviors. Too often

youth in our neighborhood don’t have a truly safe place to be – especially between the hours of
3:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. when they are at increased risk for exposure to heightened peer pressure,
targeting by drug dealers and others, and lack of adult supervision.
As a community gathering place, we strategically weave in awareness of the gun violence that
permeates our society. We believe in educating not only our youth, but also the community on
the dangers of not only gun violence but, drugs, and other types of violence; and we become a
catalyst to bring forward solutions to gun violence. We are all connected – if we help one group,
we affect other groups – we are united. The more we reach out in the community, the better our
society will be for it. Our parents, especially mothers need support; and we at DGMF try to be
that support system for them and the entire community. Families in the community who are in
physical, spiritual, financial, and emotional need, must know they are not alone and that we are
here to help them with whatever their need may be. The program targets At-Risk Youth;
however, we seek to educate entire families that they may heal & learn as a whole unit.
Our Summer program Monday thru Thursday is included as an all-day program for kiddos &
youth 5 to 17 years of age in an effort to educate on the pitfalls they face daily, & how to avoid
them therefore, to stop crime & violence before it can even start. It is scheduled to begin in June
of 2019.
Through our continuing E.M.P.L.O.Y. Program (Encouraging and Motivating Positive Leadership
Opportunities for Youth) we are Developing Great Minds for the Future (DGMF). This program
allows the youth to learn, & be introduced to positive outside influence. This program is continuing
since March of 2010 after Damion Gosa was murdered in June of 2009, and his mother, Cynthia
Gosa Lazaro, started the foundation.
The prevalence of at-risk youth in our community is extraordinary. Today’s youth are
influenced by a culture that emphasizes materialism, social cohesion, and cult of celebrity
which young people readily embrace while aspects such as morals, values and ethics
usually take a backseat. Coupled with the harsh realities of gang warfare, street
stabbings and shootings, proliferation of drugs, binge drinking, broken and/or abusive
homes, lack of parental or adult support and often a lack of boundaries and accountability,
all make life arduous for youth in the Hermoso neighborhood. The tragic result is many
young people are caught up in a dangerous lifestyle and they play Russian roulette with
their health and their lives.
Researchers who study risk and resiliency in children find six common assets in children
who avoid drug use, violence, depression, suicide, school problems and antisocial
behaviors: (1) positive peer influence; (2) restraint/delayed gratification/self-control; (3)
peaceful conflict resolution/problem solving; (4) achievement motivation; (5) self-esteem
and self-worth; and (6) sense of future/ future sense of self/hope.

The grassroots efforts of the Damion Gosa Memorial Foundation positively impact many
lives every day. Because the organization is deeply rooted and trusted in the community,
we break through barriers others often experience. We teach and model good coping
skills including empathy, communication and prosocial behaviors. We help develop self-
control, self-esteem, and self-worth which helps community members envision their future
with a sense of self and hope. Our programs and outreach complement each other, meet
the child/youth/family where they are; while guiding, supporting and providing
opportunities for growth.
Hermoso neighborhood. Historically 70% of our youth are ages 4-10 and 30% are 11-17.
Seventy-five percent are Black, 20% Hispanic and 5% Caucasian. Girl’s make-up 75% of
youth served and boys 25%.
Gang violence is fostered by the lack of belonging. We utilize a curriculum of drug, gang and
bullying prevention, nutrition, Self Esteem, Sports, Field Trips, Music, Arts & Crafts, Tutoring,
Drama/Arts, Computer, Financial Literacy and Choir. The youth learn how to give through our
Food Box, Clothing & Household Goods Distributions. Currently we work with 30 to 60 children
and are pushing to expand this number substantially.
Our after School and Summer Youth Programs run Monday thru Thursday 3:00 PM to 6:30 PM, &
Summer is every Monday thru Friday 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM through July 31st. The Teen Academy
runs for 8 weeks from June 24th thru August 30th every Tuesday & Thursday 11:00 a.m. to 5:00

the roles are providing funds toward the project, & to assist with our current program operations.
However, without funding from Fort McDowell we will have difficult time keeping this program
running at this capacity.
As evidenced by the fact that DGMF has been viable since 2010, with support beyond that of the
Fort McDowell Indian Community we will be able to survive but will not be able to grow enough to
expand our program to other needy children.
We maintain records both financial and program wise and will be able to provide the necessary
data to insure our donors that their funds are being put to the best possible uses through quarterly
or semi- annual reports. Through entrance and exit surveys we document how successful our
programs are.
DGMF has received no funding or revenue sharing from any Indian tribe ever. We plan to apply
with Gila River next Spring.

HUMAN SERVICES CAMPUS, INC.
STORE TO EXPLORE PROGRAM
Background and Identified Need
The Human Services Campus (HSC) opened its doors in November 2005.
Homelessness is a problem that adversely affects not only thousands of individuals in
Phoenix, but also in the greater Maricopa County community. Built with public/ private
funding, the HSC’s mission is to use the power of collaboration to create solutions to
end homelessness. 800 - 1,000 individuals per day seek services at the Human
Service Campus. There are nearly 20 non-profit organizations on the Campus working
collaboratively to meet each individual's unique requirements to end their
homelessness. Key HSC partners include Circle the City Healthcare for the Homeless,
Central Arizona Shelter Services, St. Joseph the Worker and St. Vincent de Paul. HSC
clients have access to food, shelter, identification documents, medical, dental, mental
health and substance abuse care, income and employment resources, a Homeless
Court, Post Office and housing connection.
The HSC not only facilitates the collaboration of these organizations at a campus-wide
level, but also provides unduplicated programs on the campus that are core to our
mission as well as the missions of all Campus partners. The HSC programs that
support all the providers and clients include: Coordinated Entry (the HSC’s Brian Garcia
Welcome Center serves as the primary access point for initial assessments of the
needs of single adults for housing and services in Maricopa County), Post Office, Client
Navigation, Housing Match and Store to Explore.
Proposed Program:
Funds requested in this application will support the HSC Store to Explore Program, a
continuing program for clients to safely and securely store their belongings while
accessing services on the Campus.
Program Purpose and Funding Priorities:
When individuals arrive at the Human Services Campus, they frequently have
everything they own with them, which may be contained in one or several bags. In
order to access services on the Campus, they need a place to store their belongings.
The HSC “Store to Explore” program provides this “concierge” service. This program
meets three of Fort McDowell’s funding priorities:
 Public Safety: Store to Explore provides our guests with a safe and secure place
to store their belongings, without the fear of having their items lost or stolen. It
also reduces potential conflict amongst the individual clients.
 Health: This program is critical to help our clients achieve their ultimate goal of
long-term housing (a key component of the Social Determinants of Health) by

removing an initial barrier to end an individual’s homelessness; people are
reluctant to participate if they think their belongings are at risk.
 Community Development: Store to Explore prevents these belongings from
accumulating on the streets in the surrounding residential neighborhoods and
businesses, minimizing blight and trash. It also helps the Campus maintain a
dignified environment.
Target Population and Estimate:
In 2018, approximately 6,500 unduplicated individuals accessed services at the Human
Services Campus. Approximately 1,800 of these individuals utilized the Store to
Explore services (some individuals have no belongings when they arrive). We anticipate
that we will serve between 1,500 and 2,000 individuals in the Store to Explore program
during the grant year.
The Store to Explore program supports all of our partners on Campus by allowing
clients to visit each organization without having to carry around their belongings or
seeking accommodations for storage at each partner agency. Maricopa County
provided funding for this program for several years until September 2018, resulting in a
funding gap starting in October 2018. The requested funding will help support the
ongoing operations of Store to Explore.
The HSC is not submitting applications to any other tribes.
Because this is a continuing program, the implementation will be upon receipt of funding
and will be allocated throughout the one-year grant period. Additional fundraising is
underway to sustain the program beyond the scope of this grant.
Program effectiveness will be assessed based on the following measures, which include
the minimum anticipated outcomes:
# of individuals served at Store to Explore
# of individuals connected to housing providers/other service systems

The purpose of our Program is to prevent malnutrition, enhance consistency in patient
education, facilitate adherence to diet recommendations, and improve health outcomes.

restrictions for dialysis patients limit and regulate the intake of fluid, sodium,
phosphorus, calcium, and potassium while encouraging the use of protein-rich foods.
Many dialysis patients are diabetic and must contend with the requirements of a diabetic
diet as well. Adjustment to the logistical, dietary, financial, and emotional challenges of
dialysis can be daunting and the first three months can be the hardest of all. The needs
that the Program aims to fulfill are threefold:

1) For patients who are new to dialysis and failing to thrive, there is often a need for more individualized nutritional
education and financial assistance. There is a learning curve for patients over the first few months of dialysis as they
adjust to diet restrictions and the impact on their grocery budget. Dialysis facility dietitians can apply to NKF AZ for a
grocery store gift card and a cookbook. When an application is approved and a grocery store card is issued, it is the
dietitian who receives it at the dialysis facility. The card is then given to the patient in the context of a nutritional
education presentation that includes a review of what foods conform to the renal diet; what foods need to be avoided;
a list of the current week’s grocery store specials that are rich in protein, low in sodium, low in phosphorus, low in
calcium and low in potassium; and a selection of recipes from the NKF AZ Cookbook: A Guide for Renal Nutrition
that makes use of recommended foods. The patient is then assigned “homework” to use the grocery store card to
purchase food items listed in the recipes and to prepare healthy meals. The patient is instructed to report back to the
dietitian on how they completed the assignment and what they learned. Our Cookbook is a tool for nutritional
counseling and meal planning that reduces the “guess work” involved when advised to control the intake of protein
and other nutrients.
2) For patients who have been on dialysis for more than three months and who are malnourished as evidenced by
abnormal labs and/or weight loss, there is a need for protein supplements (liquids, powders, and bars) to prevent
cachexia (severe loss of weight, muscle atrophy, fatigue, weakness, and significant loss of appetite). It is well
established that dialysis patients whose blood laboratory values show low protein levels have significantly higher
rates of mortality. This protein malnutrition is often due to the inability to consume adequate protein because of poor
physical or oral health, social and cultural practices and/or financial barriers. The availability of protein supplements
offers the opportunity to reverse the risk of cachexia nutritionally.
3) For patients with poor oral health/dentition, there is a need for assistance with the cost of cleanings, fillings,
extractions, crowns, and dentures in order to eliminate pain or infections and to restore the ability to chew solid high-
protein foods. The Program can prevent periodontal diseases from contributing to malnutrition or becoming a source
of systemic inflammation for patients with kidney failure.
The Program serves dialysis patients throughout the entire state of Arizona. There are currently over 10,000 dialysis
patients statewide and their numbers continue to grow. Historically, our food assistance, nutritional supplements,
and dental care programs have been used by about 10% of the kidney failure population, which represents hundreds
people. However, applications for transportation assistance increased the number of rides covered by our
transportation budget by over 20% last fiscal year and have persisted at that elevated level in the current fiscal year,
which has impacted our nutritional support budget. It is now projected that at least 800 patients (8% of the
population) could be served by the Nutritional Support Program in the coming year with increased funding in the
amount of $50,000. There are over 120 dialysis facilities in Arizona and all of them can refer patients to the Program.
The dialysis facilities are owned by several different companies, such as Fresenius, DaVita, Southwest Kidney
Institute, U. S. Renal Care, Dialysis Centers Inc., and American Renal Associates. Applications for assistance are
received on a continuous basis through renal dietitians and social workers who identify patients in need. Some
funding for the Program is received from the State of Arizona Department of Health Services, but most of that funding
is dedicated to transportation assistance. The timetable for implementation of the Program encompasses the whole
of fiscal year 2020, which spans from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.
