Narrative
Please structure your proposal to provide the following information in the order indicated. Provide the narrative in
paragraph form in the text field provided. Please be thorough but strive for brevity.
1. Briefly describe the organization’s history, mission and goals.
The Maricopa County Community Colleges District Foundation (MCCF) was established in 1977 as the 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization designated by the Maricopa County Community Colleges District (MCCCD) to receive and manage gifts on
behalf of its 10 colleges. The foundation actively seeks contributions from a variety of private sources including
individuals, corporations, and foundations, and believes that everyone has the opportunity to improve their lives
through education. MCCF works to fulfill this vision with its mission to boldly impact the community through innovative
and strategic partnerships for the growth and benefit of the Maricopa Community Colleges, its students, faculty, and
staff. Glendale Community College is one of the 10 colleges MCCF supports.
Glendale Community College (GCC), founded in 1965, is currently one of the largest colleges within the Maricopa County
Community College District (MCCCD). MCCCD is one of the largest community college and postsecondary education
systems in the country with 200,000 students enrolled in credit and non-credit courses each year. The system is
comprised of 10 community colleges, a corporate college, and two skill centers dedicated to educational excellence.
Each college is individually accredited.
The mission of GCC is to prepare students for further higher education, employment, advancement and successful
participation in a global society. To that end, the college offers 114 degree and certificate programs along with creative
transfer pathways through cooperative partnerships with Arizona’s three state universities.
GCC is home to great diversity. Nearly 43% of GCC students are members of a minority group and represent more than
fifty countries. GCC is also a designated Hispanic-Serving Institution, with 29% Hispanic student enrollment. Degree
completion, transfer to a four year institution, and successful entry into the workplace are among GCC’s goals for all its
students.
2. If the applying organization is non-municipal or a non-profit 501c, please describe your relationship with Arizona
municipalities including past and present support, whether through partnerships, collaborations, in-kind
contributions, grants, tax-based funding or other. Describe the supporting municipality’s role in this project. If
the applying organization is a municipality governmental sub-division please enter the text “Not applicable.”
Marciopa County has supported the applications of the Maricopa County Community Colleges District Foundation for
12% funds for five years. The County is the fiduciary for any 12% tribal funding the Foundation receives.
3. Describe the proposed project and planned goals and activities.
Project Summary

Gila River Indian Community Grant Application
Grant Cycle 2018
If chosen for funding, “Training Ambulances for Arizona's EMS Workforce” will fill a critical need in the training
of Arizona’s First Responders by preparing a more qualified EMS workforce. Funds will go toward the purchase
a Type II ambulance (approx. $25,000) and a Type III ambulance (approx. $50,000) to replace current aging
ambulances.
GCC is one of only nine (9) nationally accredited paramedic programs in the nation working to meet the
demand for a trained EMT and Paramedic workforce. The Department of Labor’s occupational outlook for
EMTs and Paramedics projects growth of 15 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all
occupations. The EMT occupation has been identified as the 3rd most in-demand job in health care with a
projection of 58,500 new jobs by 2024.
Current Fire Fighters, Law Enforcement officers, Paramedics and EMT staff come to GCC to cross train and
expand their life-saving skills to better serve their Arizona communities. In addition, GCC trains new entries
into these career fields.
Ambulances are critically tied to training. They are outfitted to house an array of life-saving emergency
medical support apparatus to assist EMT, Paramedics and other First Responders in a wide variety of traumatic
or life threatening health situations including car accidents, drownings, shootings, stabbings, heart attacks,
falls, overdoses, burns, and other health crises.
Project Goals
The project goal is to obtain suitable training ambulances that will serve to prepare a well-qualified EMT,
Paramedic, Fire, and Law Enforcement workforce, fulfilling a critical need to Arizona communities state-wide.
The overall anticipated outcome of this training is to save more lives.
Planned Activities
Type II and Type III ambulances will be used in daily scenario-based teaching and experiential learning
exercises. These exercises are designed to mimic a wide variety of traumatic health events First Responders
are called upon to respond to in the day to day service to their communities.
Ambulances are used to respond to mock calls and dispatches, for apparatus orientation and operations, for
gurney operations, and for Mass Causality Incidents and Incident Command training. For example, the EMT
certification program consists of over 1500 hours of classroom, clinical, and internship training. Upon
completion, a course certificate is bestowed along with eligibility to take the National Registry Written and
Practical Exams. Successful completion of the National Registry Exams allows the candidate to apply for state
licensure. High success rates: 91% of those who complete the GCC EMT certification program pass the rigorous
National Registry Exams.
In addition, the ambulances play an important role in wide variety of community safety events.
4. Describe how the proposed project satisfies one or more of the priority funding areas identified by the Gila River
Indian Community.

Gila River Indian Community Grant Application
Grant Cycle 2018
GCC’s project, “Training Ambulances for Arizona's EMS Workforce,” aligns with the Gila River Indian
Community’s priority for Public Safety. This continuing project serves to enhance the efforts of Arizona’s police
and fire departments, urgent cares, hospitals, and rural EMS facilities, as well as provide community
educational programs promoting public and individual safety.
5. Identify the needs/problems to be addressed, target population and number of people to be served by the
project.
 Needs/Problems to be addressed: GCC’s current ambulances have reached a point in their serviceability
life that they are no longer a reliable resource for training. The urgency to replace two 24-year-old
ambulances is due to their having aged out past the point where vendors are able to service their
mechanical and electrical failures.
Ambulance #1 is a 1994 Ford Wheeled Coach Type III ambulance. Sun City donated this ambulance during
the summer of 2004.
Ambulance #2 is a 1994 Ford Wheeled Coach Type III ambulance. Sun City donated this ambulance during
the summer of 2012.
While offers of ambulance donations have been received, these offers have had to be declined due to the
severe mechanical and physical condition of the vehicles offered.
 Target Population: The GCC Public Safety Science programs train Arizona’s police officers, firefighters,
paramedics, and emergency medical technicians. Graduates are also working at ambulance companies,
private fire departments, urgent cares, and hospitals. The two training ambulances support approximately
500 trainees each year.
 Number of People to be Served by the Project: A 10-year lifespan is expected of the replacement training
ambulances, and an average of 500 people will train on the ambulances annually. It is estimated that this
project will directly serve 5,000 trainees over the next 10 years. This number does not include the number
of community members who will benefit from GCC’s annual Public Safety Events: potentially thousands
over each First Responder’s career. In addition, we use the ambulances to educate people at health fairs
and career fairs, high school career days, and host elementary school students on campus for Jr Gaucho
days.
6. Define the project as a new or continuing program.
This is a continuing program. The expected lifespan of the Type II and Type III ambulances is 10 years. These
two ambulance types are chosen for training exercises because they are the most commonly used ambulance
types across the state.

7. Provide a brief timeline including start and finish dates. Indicate if the timeline is flexible.
Should our project, “Training Ambulances for Arizona's EMS Workforce” be chosen for funding by the Gila
River Indian Community on or before July 31, 2018, we will immediately begin the process to identify a Type II
and Type III ambulance for purchase in October or November, 2018. We are currently evaluating used and/or
refurbished ambulances for sale.
8. Identify other organizations, partners or funders participating in the project and their roles.
The City of Glendale is a long-standing partner and supporter of GCC’s EMT, Fire Science, Paramedic and Law
Enforcement Officer programs. Recent support includes the donation of a Fire Engine, and used EMS medical
equipment.
Sun City is a long-time partner and supporter of GCC’s EMT, Fire and Paramedic programs. Past program
support includes the donation of two used ambulances.
American Medical Response: GCC is in the midst of finalizing a partnership with American Medical Response
(AMR) to bring more internship opportunities to EMT candidates, and possibly to provide GCC with a local
source for purchasing retired fleet ambulances for program training. This partnership will expand program
participants’ opportunities to observe the daily operations of interfaculty and 911 operations, and real-life
patient care.
9. Would you be able to implement the proposed plan if your organization received partial funding for this project?
The Arizona State Legislature eliminated all state funding to MCCCD beginning in March 2015
(https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/03/12/arizona-unprecedented-defunding-community-colleges)
and (https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/01/27/arizona-community-colleges-cope-state-
disinvestment-and-declining-enrollments). At one time the state contribution made up 29% of the MCCCD
operating budget. To make up for this loss, all of the colleges must look for external partners who share our
passion for improving the fate of our communities. The Gila River Indian Community is the only organization
we know of that supports Public Safety through education. Partial funding would present challenges. Any
partial funding would have to be supplemented with other resources, or we may be forced to choose to make
do with the purchase of poorer quality/less reliable ambulances.
10. Describe your plan for project financial sustainability beyond the grant period. If this is a program/project
previously funded by the Gila River Indian Community describe efforts made towards the previously described
sustainability plan.

Gila River Indian Community Grant Application
Grant Cycle 2018
The ongoing maintenance of the two ambulances will be absorbed by GCC’s operational budget. It is fortunate
that regular maintenance is performed by GCC’s residential Automotive Technology program, to lengthen the
life of the ambulances.
11. Describe your plan to document progress and results.
Progress and results are documented yearly to maintain national program accreditation. The Paramedic
Program at Glendale Community College is accredited by CAAHEP/CoAEMSP and is based on the 2011
National EMS Education Standards and current American Heart Association guidelines. Program objectives are
reviewed annually through Course Level Assessments.
One of the requirements to maintain accreditation status is to publish a report of the Outcome Results for the
National Registry Written and Practical Exams (or DHS results, as applicable). The annual National Registry
Written and Practical Examination’s pass/fail rates data is tracked as a key indicator of GCC’s programs
success:
Pass with first attempt: GCC graduates 88% vs National report at 72%.
Pass within 3 attempts: GCC graduates 91% vs National report at 80%.
12. Indicate any application to and/or awards made by a tribe other than the Gila River Indian Community for state
shared revenues for this and any other project for the past five (5) years. If this information is included in a
separate attachment, please indicate that here.

Project Budget Detail
Please provide a narrative description for each of the project budget items listed on the previous page. Include the
dollar figure and how it was derived.
1. Funds will go toward the purchase a Type II ambulance (approx. $25,000). Type II is one of two ambulance
types identified to replace GCC’s aging fleet. These types are the most commonly used ambulances by EMS
and other First Repsonders across Arizona, thus would be the best types of ambulances for trainees to train
on. Type II uses a van-type chassis with a raised roof. They typically transport patients that only need basic life support
features. (For how the dollar figure was derived, see “Other Explanation” below.)
2. Funds will go toward the purchase of a Type III ambulance (approx. $ 50,000). This ambulance type is the
second of two Types identified to replace our aging fleet, as these Types are the most commonly used
ambulances by EMS and other First Repsonders across Arizona, thus would be the best type of ambulances for
trainees to train on. Type III ambulances have square patient compartments mounted onto a van chassis and are
equipped with medical equipment for advanced life support. (For how the dollar figure was derived, see “Other
Explanation” below.)
