Dear Alecia Jackson,
Congratulations! Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign is pleased to award a grant of $1,500.00 to
Maricopa County Head Start. The purpose of this grant is to support the implementation of Cooking Matters
programming, as described in your proposal. Due to the high quantity and quality of applications, we are unable to
fully fund most proposals. If you are unable to implement proposed outcomes listed in your application with the
funds awarded, please contact GrantsHelpDesk@strength.org prior to signing the award letter. Funding for this
grant is generously supported by the Walmart Foundation.
Using Grant Funds
Grant funds may only be used for the budget items you outlined in your application. Programming is intended for
low-income families only, and must be offered at no charge to all participants. Budget changes may be requested
in advance, in writing, to Share Our Strength by emailing GrantsHelpDesk@strength.org with your organization’s
name and budget request. Significant changes in projected or actual programming or improper or unauthorized
use of grants funds may result in a request to return all or part of the grant funds.
Grant Period
It is our understanding that you will report on your program at the end of one full calendar year from the award
date of this letter, due on May 30, 2018. Please reach out to your Cooking Matters program or grant contact if
you encounter challenges or delays starting your program on time, meeting your grant objectives, or spending the
grant funds before the end of the grant year.
Reporting Requirements
By accepting these grant funds, you agree to provide us with a one-time report following your grant period
accessible via the No Kid Hungry Online Grants Portal. Please also report on your programming, including
participation and course and/or tour schedule, through the Cooking Matters Portal/Database within 7 days of
the end-date of each course/tour. All partners must also sign a partnership agreement with Share Our Strength.
Program Training
Those implementing Cooking Matters for the first time are required to participate in online training. If your
organization or person(s) responsible for Cooking Matters delivery has not implemented Cooking Matters
previously, please check your email for a separate notification on registering for trainings and use of Cooking
Matters online resources.
Changes in Programming & Public Charity Status
Please immediately notify Share Our Strength of any change in your public charity status. This grant is contingent
on your organization’s ability to implement the objectives as outlined in your proposal. If your organization
encounters difficulties in implementing any of the programs, please reach out to your program or grant contact at
Share Our Strength. Grantees who are no longer tax-exempt or are unable to implement their grant are required
to notify Share Our Strength and return the funds.

grant project findings to the Cooking Matters partner network.
