RE: Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation 12% Funding
Dear Ms. Henderson:
On behalf of the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation ("Nation") I am pleased to inform you that the
Tribal Council has authorized $6,540.53 in response to your 12% Funding grant application. Of
the significant number of requests for funds this year, the Nation found your request to be one of
the most deserving.
The 12% Funding grants allow the Nation to build relationships with our neighbors and invest in
important programs that have significant impact in the State of Arizona. As you may know, the
Arizona Gaming Compact permits the Nation to allocate 12% of the fees the Nation pays to the
State to select cities, towns and counties in the State. The Nation receives funding requests from
school districts, public safety agencies, and individual cities, towns and counties for their various
programs. Many non-profit agencies also request this funding to support programs within their
communities.
The Nation's offer of 12% Funding is contingent upon your organization's agreement to fulfill
each of the following requirements:
1. Use the grant funds as specified in the approved grant proposal.
2. Provide a written acknowledgement of receipt of grant funds payment.
3. Cooperate with the Nation's efforts to present the check in person to your organization
during an event to be held within the Nation on a date and time TBD and/or publicize the
grant award.
4. Submit a final written report detailing the use of the funds and success of the grant project
by May 1,2017.
