COOKING MATTERS GRANT AGREEMENT_MARICOPA COUNTY HEAD START.PDF

January 29, 2014
Dear Maureen,
Congratulations! On December 31, 2013, Maricopa County Head Start was awarded a grant from
Share Our Strength for $1500 to offer Cooking Matters courses that will reach a minimum of 20
adults by July 30, 2014. This grant is made possible by generous support from Newman’s Own
Foundation. By accepting this grant you agree to the following terms and conditions:
 These funds must be used to support the implementation of Cooking Matters six-week
courses as outlined in the eligible use of grant funds in the RFP.
 Before beginning courses, the Cooking Matters course coordinator, and instructors if
applicable, must successfully complete a series of online training modules. They will receive
a link to the online training in the first week of January.
 The course coordinator must complete an online form for each course scheduled and
completed. The online training will teach the coordinator how to do this.
 The course coordinator must administer a paper-based pre- and post-course survey and
enrollment form to each course participant to complete before the first class and following
the last class. All completed surveys and enrollment forms must be returned to Share Our
Strength within one week of completing the course (details to be addressed during online
training).
 After the completion of the grant cycle on July 30, 2014, the course coordinator must
complete a satisfaction and feedback survey documenting your experience with the online
training and course coordination.
 If any point during the grant period your organization anticipates that you will not be able
to achieve your grant goals prior to July 30, 2014, please contact Share Our Strength as soon
as possible through contacting eevancho@strength.org. Share Our Strength will either
work with you to revise your strategies and goals, or we will discuss the possibility of
returning all or part of the grant.
 The grantee agrees to notify Share Our Strength of any change in your public charity status.
This agreement also gives Share Our Strength permission to use photographs, logos, and
other materials you supply in your grant reports to Share Our Strength, without further
notice, in press releases and/or publications.
By cashing the grant check, which will be mailed after this letter is signed and returned to
Share Our Strength, you agree to abide by all conditions described in this letter.
If you have any questions about any of the conditions described in this letter, or about your grant in
general, please contact Elizabeth Evancho at 202-478-6576 or eevancho@strength.org.
We wish you the best of success and look forward to hearing about your progress.

Sincerely,
Bill Shore
