Firefighter safety is the utmost priority for the Harquahala Valley Fire District and
our community. This program is to replace Self Contained Breathing Apparatus that
are currently past their life cycle. The program would fall under the Fort McDowell
Yavapai Nations Public Safety funding priority. Proper respiratory protection and
personal protection equipment has been identified as one of the highest preventive
initiatives in protecting our members. Cancer research and numerous studies by the
National Fire Administration stress the importance of having PPE that is not only
compliant but that is also utilizing the most modern and effective methods of
mitigation techniques. It is for this reason, the Harquahala Fire District is requesting
funding assistance from the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation to purchase 16 new self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). The cost of this life-saving program is
$135,000.00. This will allow total interoperability with our SCBA inventory,
compliance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and mandates for all of our first
responders. This new Personnel Protective Equipment is part of a project aimed
at lowering the risk of inhalation hazards to fire department personnel, increasing
firefighter safety, and increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of Rapid
Intervention Crews (RIC’s). Our current inventory of SCBA’s is substandard in 2002
NFPA and OSHA standards.
In the event of any catastrophe, these SCBA devices will prove invaluable in
saving the lives of our firefighters so they can save countless victims and provide a
safe working environment for our first responders. Being a small fire district, we find
ourselves in a precarious situation where most of our major equipment is expiring or
becoming obsolete at the same time. With recent legislation enacted in Arizona. The
fire districts are almost completely handcuffed in absorbing the needed funding for
most capital purchases. The Fire Department is funded exclusively from the Districts
taxes Fund. This source of revenue continue to decrease due to Arizonan’s Proposition
13 (limiting property tax revenues)The district is expending all of its General Fund
revenues each year to maintain current levels of service, while at the same time seeing

a minor increase in the demand for services. This leaves an increasing shortfall, which
equates to a lack of available funding for several high priority projects, such as this
one. As mentioned earlier, the key to having an effective response capability is by
protecting your members and mitigate the dangers the best way possible. This needed
Personal Protection equipment and SCBA's provides the members with the latest and
safest protection available. The firefighter will have the peace of mind that they are
prepared for and protected for in the best manner possible. The community would be
safer because the reliability of the ability for the crews to do their jobs would be
increased. It would be a horrible situation to have a known rescue and to have the
response not be able to act because of an outdated or obsolete piece of equipment
breaking or failing. Even worse would be a death to one of our members because we
failed to provide them with the best means of protection available.
The SCBA’s will be purchased, trained on, and implemented into service within 6
months of receiving the grant award. The Harquahala Valley Fire District has also a
current grant application for a Type I apparatus with Gila River Indian Community.
The Harquahala Valley Fire District is located in Maricopa County, approximately
eighty miles west of the City of Phoenix and 80 miles east of the California Border. The
first due area of response covers 432 square miles that include 40 miles of Interstate 10.
The town of Harquahala has 104 registered voters and a large migrant population of
approximately 2200 people. The district is a career department that employs 12 sworn
full time firefighters, 15 paid reserves, 1 office manager, and 1 fire chief. All front line
members are NFPA 1001 Firefighter 1 and Firefighter 2 certified as well as being NIMS
compliant and are certified at the paramedic or EMT level. We are a 24/7/365 day of
the year fire district. We have 3 Captains, 3 Engineers, and 6 Firefighters for staffing.
In 2014 we answered approximately 340 calls for service including 64 that were for
either brush, structure or wildland fires. The other calls were predominantly calls for
EMS. We currently have one station that is staffed every day (Station 371) and one that
is staffed approximately 25% of the time (Station 372) depending on reserve staffing.
Our district is largely comprised of farm land and is bordered by the pristine
mountain wilderness areas of the Eagle tail Mountain Wilderness Area, the Big Horn
Mountain Wilderness area and the Woolsey Peak wilderness Area. We also regularly
respond into our neighboring fire District (Tonopah) for large brush and structure
fires as well as respond to our neighbor to the west (La Paz County) for highway
brush fires and automobile accidents. We provide mutual aid to both of these
neighbors who have a population of approximately 20,000 and 7,000 residents
respectively.

Dear Mrs. Castaneda:
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) respectfully requests a grant in the amount of $25,000
from the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation to support the Arizona Chapter’s patient services project
entitled Improving the Quality of Life and Access to Care for Arizona Blood Cancer Patients and
their Families. This gift will assist Arizona patients and their caregivers and family members in
obtaining the informational, supportive and financial assistance they require in order to manage a
blood cancer diagnosis. LLS, a 501(c)(3) organization, is the largest not-for-profit health agency
dedicated to finding cures and better treatments for people with a blood cancer. The mission of
LLS is: cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life
of patients and their families.
More than 1.18 million Americans are currently living with, or in remission from, leukemia,
lymphoma or myeloma – collectively know as blood cancers. Every 3 minutes, someone new is
diagnosed with a blood cancer, with more than 155,000 new cases expected this year. Blood
cancers are the number three cancer killer, and every 10 minutes, another child or adult dies from
this disease – that’s more than 55,000 deaths this year. In Arizona, non-Hodgkin lymphoma is
among the top ten most common types of cancer afflicting males and females, and leukemia and
non-Hodgkin lymphoma contribute to some of the highest death rates for individuals with cancer.
The estimated number of new cases for leukemia, myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma is 2,680
for the state. Blood cancers affect individuals of all races, age and socioeconomic background, and
the work defined in this proposal will serve as many blood cancer patients as possible residing
across the 15 counties of Arizona.
The Arizona Chapter was founded in 1963 to raise awareness for The Leukemia & Lymphoma
Society as well as work with blood cancer patients in the state. For over 50 years, this chapter has
grown and evolved to serve the diverse needs of the Arizona blood cancer population, and with
projects like this one, the chapter offers a human touch to patients and families with services that
are personal, immediate and tailored to need. This continuing project demonstrates the chapter’s
commitment to improving the health of our constituents and aligns well with the Fort McDowell
Health funding area.
To achieve the overall project goal of improving the quality of life and access to care for Arizona
blood cancer patients and their families, the Arizona Chapter will accomplish the following
objectives:
a) Deliver personal, peer-to-peer support for newly diagnosed blood cancer patients through
the Patti Robinson Kaufmann First Connection Program where trained volunteers who have
recovered from a similar diagnosis provide a unique kind of support, offering guidance,
coping strategies, resource information and hope when it is needed most.
b) Connect Arizona patients, survivors, family members and caregivers with Information
Specialists at the centralized LLS Information Resource Center (IRC) who provide
assistance through cancer treatment, financial and social challenges and give accurate, up-
to-date disease, treatment and support information.
c) Network with Arizona healthcare professionals, hospitals, cancer centers and community-
based organizations to provide local Patient Travel Assistance and Co-Pay Assistance
funding to blood cancer patients who meet the programs’ criteria.
LLS has found that coping with a cancer diagnosis can be easier when patients have access to
information about their illness and treatment options; someone who has been through a cancer
experience can offer support and guidance; support is available for the emotional needs of family,
spouses and caregivers; and assistance is available for insurance premiums, co-pay obligations
and travel expenses. LLS will help patients individually and collectively to access needed care as
we connect newly diagnosed patients to resources and clinical trials information, reduce financial
barriers to insurance coverage and treatment-related expenses, and recruit and train volunteer
advocates who collectively influence legislators and regulators.

In fiscal year 2015, LLS assisted over 700 individuals in Arizona who were seeking information,
services or local support. LLS provided over $1.25 million in Co-Pay Assistance funding to more
than 575 patients in the state. An additional 25 patients were provided Travel Assistance stipends
($12,500 total) through the national LLS program. The Arizona Chapter will implement a new local
Travel Assistance Program available only to Arizona residents in Spring 2016, and the total number
of Travel Assistance recipients across both the national and local programs is expected to increase
beyond 25. These figures represent the target number of individuals LLS expects to serve through
this project.
The LLS Arizona Chapter works with social workers, nurses, physicians and other healthcare
professionals at the following health organizations and nonprofits throughout the state to serve
blood cancer patients and their families. We will rely heavily on these partners to connect with
newly diagnosed patients who may benefit the most from this project.
• Arizona Center for Cancer Care • Cardon Children’s Medical Center
• Arizona Childhood Cancer Coalition • Dignity Health, HonorHealth
• Arizona Department of Health Services • Ironwood Cancer & Research Centers
• Arizona Myeloma Network • Latino Cancer Coalition
• Arizona Oncology • Mayo Clinic
• Banner Health • Phoenix Children’s Hospital
• Be the Match • Susan G. Komen Arizona
• Cancer Support Community Arizona • University of Arizona
• Cancer Treatment Centers of America • Yuma Regional Medical Center
Western Regional Medical Center
The following table illustrates the implementation plan for our project over the course of 12 months.
The timing of activities may shift depending on grant funding stipulations and implementation.

Community. A gift of $25,000 from the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation will enable LLS to continue
providing these critical programs and services to Arizona patients, making a significant and direct
impact on their lives. Please accept our deepest gratitude for your consideration of this grant
request on behalf of the patients and families who will benefit from your generosity.

Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Tribal Council Secretary
P.O. Box 17779
Fountain Hills, AZ 85269
Dear Mrs. Castaneda,
Description of proposed program (is this a new or continuing program):
Future for KIDS (FFK) was established in 1991, providing camps focused on academics, athletics, and
ethics to at-risk youth. In 2002, FFK expanded to include a volunteer-driven direct service program
implemented after school by matching mentors with youth facing adversity. The program kept the
children safe, off the streets, and engaged in positive activities. In 2006, the Discover Your Future out-of-
school time enrichment program was launched. Discover Your Future uses mentoring to improve the lives
of youth who face adversity through academic assistance, physical activity, and ethics discussions. Today,
FFK serves youth through a variety of programs which include three Sports & Fitness Camps,
the Discover Your Future and LEAD (Leaders Embrace Change, Achieve Goals, and Dream
Big) enrichment programs, and a 5-day summer program; Camp FFK.
Future for KIDS’ mission is to provide free, mentor driven out-of-school time programs and camps that
improve the lives of youth who face adversity. Discover Your Future (DYF) is the flagship, free, out-of-
school time enrichment program that improves school readiness for 3rd to 6th graders facing adversity.
DYF uses mentoring to improve the lives of the young program participants by: engaging youth in
meaningful relationships with trained, caring adult mentors; improving youths’ physical health;
promoting social and emotional development; and fostering an appreciation for scholastics and reading.
DYF is implemented at nine partner locations throughout the Valley, including Title I schools, low
income housing communities, and Boys & Girls Clubs. The program runs for a total of 26 weeks during
the school year from September to May, and can accommodate up to 50 youth at each program location.
Each week, trained volunteer mentors interact with youth participants through program activities
including homework help, a reading segment, fitness activities, and an ethics discussion. The youth come
from low-income neighborhoods and all have experienced adverse childhood experiences (ACE), which
is an emotional or physical trauma that takes place before age 18 that can lead to poor mental and
physical health and less success at school and work. One quarter of children ages 0-17 in Arizona have
already received one ACE, with one third having experienced two or more.
Purpose of program and how it meets one or more of Fort McDowell’s funding priorities:
Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation’s priorities include health, education, public safety, and economic and
community development. By focusing on education, especially elementary and middle school, FFK
increases the likelihood of young men and women graduating high school, which will improve health,
safety, local economies, and communities.
Future for KIDS’ vision is that all children have the resources for a bright future. Working toward this
vision, Future for KIDS’ mission provides mentor driven out-of-school time programs and camps that

focus on academics, athletics, and ethics for free to improve the lives of youth who face adversity. The
goals of the Discover Your Future program are: To provide opportunities for youth participants to engage
in meaningful relationships with adult volunteer mentors; To improve physical health and nutrition; To
improve social and emotional development; To foster an appreciation for reading; and To improve school
attendance.
Need addressed by proposed program, target population, and number of people served:
Research suggests that adverse childhood experiences (ACE) can lead to poor mental and physical health,
and less success at school and work throughout one’s life. . One quarter of children ages 0-17 in Arizona
have already received one ACE, with one third having experienced two or more. To actively mitigate the
long term negative effects of ACEs children require “safe spaces” and “stable, nurturing relationships
with caring adults” (Phoenix Children’s Hospital). Discover Your Future helps to mitigate the long term
effects of ACEs by providing youth with a safe environment, academic assistance, improving reading
comprehension, and providing youth with adult mentors who serves as positive role models.
The Discover Your Future (DYF) program targets youth, in grades 3-6 (ages 8-12) who live in low-
income neighborhoods, attend Title I schools, lack access to enrichment activities, and face daily
adversity at home and in school. Last year, over 400 children participated in the DYF program, working
with a caring, trained adult, building healthy peer relationships, and acquiring the skills to succeed in
school and in life.
Partners in the program (including other tribes/nations):
Future for KIDS partners with 9 community organizations to implement the Discover Your Future
program. These community organizations include: Native American Connections Coral Canyon Housing
Complex, Cesar Chavez Community School, Arthur Hamilton Elementary School, Ignacio Conchos,
Children First Academy – Tempe, Eagle Ridge Elementary, and three Boys & Girls Clubs in the East
Valley. Each partner provides Future for KIDS with the indoor and outdoor space to host our program, a
staff member to assist with program logistics, and staff input to help identify and enroll program
participants. Our program is run with the help of dedicated volunteers who work with a small group of
youth each week, developing strong relationships and becoming positive role models. Future for KIDS
secures volunteers from corporate partners, as well as surrounding university and community colleges,
retirees, and other community members.
Timetable for implementation of proposed program:
As mentioned previously, Discover Your Future runs for a total of 26 weeks during the school year from
September to May. The recruiting and training of volunteers begins in the spring, as does initial contact
with participating schools. With the partnership of the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, FFK can offer an
entire year of the Discover Your Future, changing the lives of 50 children, to a new school/partner.
With Respect,
Madonna Bistany
Executive Director, Future for KIDS

LODESTAR DAY RESOURCE CENTER ENGAGEMENT AND CLIENT RESOURCE
COORDINATION
Identified Need and Proposed (Continuing) Program
Using the power of collaboration to create solutions to end homelessness, the Human
Services Campus (HSC) in downtown Phoenix brings the service power of more than a
dozen social service agencies and community partners together in one place. Anchor
HSC government, faith-based and non-profit partners include Maricopa County Health
Care for the Homeless , St. Vincent de Paul, TERROS Safe Haven, St. Joseph the
Worker, Central Arizona Shelter Services and the Lodestar Day Resource Center
(LDRC). The shared objective of these partners is to end homelessness through
appropriate housing solutions.
The LDRC, the grant applicant, serves as the principal engagement and assessment
point for adults experiencing homelessness. The mission of the LDRC is to be a safe,
engaging, holistic community that empowers people to end their homelessness and
create positive, long-term life changes. The staff carries out this mission at two
buildings at the HSC, the Brian Garcia Welcome Center and at the LDRC facility. At the
Welcome Center, which is the front-door of the 12-acre campus, a Client Resource
Specialist team greets new clients, who go through an efficient process of triage,
diversion if appropriate, and assessment. The nationally-recognized assessment tool
(VI SPDAT) enables us to prioritize those who are most vulnerable --- such as
chronically-homeless individuals or adults with serious medical needs – thereby
focusing resources on those who need them most. Results also help define the most
appropriate housing situation for each individual. In the past year, more than 10,000
assessments were completed by LDRC staff.
Once assessed, clients are directed to the LDRC facility. More than 200 individuals
receive support at the LDRC each day; the LDRC Dayroom is open 7 days a week, 365
days a year. Co-located within this site are such organizations as Community Bridges,
Southwest Behavioral Health, the Homeless ID Project, St. Joseph the Worker, a U.S.
Post Office, Maricopa County Regional Homeless Court, and the LDRC’s Housing and
specialized case management programs. These agencies provide an array of services
and programs meant to address basic needs (e.g., connection to shelter and clothing)
as well as mental or medical health resources, identification documents, substance
abuse counseling, 12-step programs, legal assistance, income and employment
resources and housing connection.
Two key factors contributing to positive client outcomes are (1) the extent to which
clients are appropriate assessed and engaged in utilizing recommended services, and
(2) the LDRC’s ability to help remove barriers to achieving success. Client Resource
Specialists, who work at the Welcome Center and at the LDRC front desk, are
responsible for engaging clients, fulfilling basic needs, assessing the appropriate
resource interventions, and reducing barriers to success. The current request includes
support for two Client Resource Specialists.
1

Annually, more than 10,000 men and women are assessed at the Welcome Center and
each day many are referred for services sited at the LDRC or access the LDRC
dayroom for basic needs. However, referral is just the first step in benefitting from
available support. Men and women who have been living on the streets or in shelters
often perceive themselves as “invisible” to the community and experience low self-
esteem and isolation. This situation often is exacerbated by accompany medical mental
health or substance abuse issues. Among its many responsibilities, the LDRC Client
Resource Department seeks out and builds relationships with individuals, meeting the
clients where they are physically and emotionally. In this way, Client Resource
Specialists assure that clients’ basic needs are met and that individuals connect with the
services to which they’ve been referred and that they benefit from available support.
Meeting Funding Priorities
The proposed program meets two of Ft. McDowell’s funding priorities: Health and
Economic Development. Health: A typical client has been on the streets or in and out
of shelter for many years. He/she suffers from years of poor nutrition and lack of
medical and psychiatric follow up. He/she may have an unmanaged behavioral health
disorder and under- or untreated acute and chronic medical conditions such as
hypertension, heart disease and diabetes. Evidence-based practice demonstrates that
these conditions are most effectively alleviated once an individual acquires a permanent
housing situation, which is the ultimate goal of the LDRC and its Engagement and Client
Resource Specialist Program. Economic Development: The HSC and its LDRC
consider themselves partners in the revitalization and development of downtown
Phoenix, which benefits the entire region. Since the HSC doors opened in 2005,
numbers of homeless individuals on downtown streets and crime levels in the area
adjacent to the downtown core have been dramatically reduced, adding to the
attractiveness of university, residential, business and event venues to those investing in
and those visiting downtown Phoenix.
Partners
In addition to program support from our campus partners, the LDRC currently receives
financial support from Maricopa County, Dignity Health System, the Arizona
Department of Housing, the Salt River Pima Indian Community, the Gila River Indian
Community, Mercy Maricopa Integrated Care, HUD McKinney Vento federal funds, and
the Valley of the Sun United Way.
