Dear SRPMIC 12% Gaming Grant Committee,

We are grateful once again to have the opportunity to submit a request to assist us in
Supporting the Men, Women, Families and Mission of Luke AFB. We are incredibly
proud for the mission we get to provide each day, and the ability to include the Salt
River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community in those humbling roles is a great honor.

As we have done in the past, we would enjoy the opportunity to bring some SRPMIC
Leaders to Luke for an Education and Awareness tour to greater provide insight on to
how we support Luke and where your resources are supplied. Once we get passed the
challenges associated with COVID19 and we can restart bringing great partners,
supporters and donors out, you can be assured SRPMIC will be one of the first invited.

Along with this cover letter is the 2021 SRPMIC 12% Gaming Grant Application, 2020
FCP Board of Directors Roster & Budget Detail.

Very Respectfully, AA

Date of Application: July 15", 2020

Organization Name: Fighter Country Partnership (FCP)

Organization Mailing Address: 500 N. Estrella Pkwy Ste B2 PMB 479 Goodyear Az, 85338

Organizational History: FCP has been around since the mid 70's with multiple names. Our
original existence was to protect the base and utilize our effort to ensure it remains open. Over
the years we have grown and became incorporated in 1993 as Fighter Country Partnership.
Today we still work to protect the mission of Luke Air Force Base, but our core mission is "To
Support the Men, Women, Families and Mission of Luke AFB” through programs and services
geared towards Morale & Well-Being, Culture & Tradition and Mission Sustainability. Our goal
in supporting the mission of Luke Air Force Base is to enhance the quality of life for the Military
Members and their families.

Organizational Structure: Current FCP Board Roster is attached

Do any conflicts of interest exist within the organizational structure? No

Project Name: FCP’s “Top Three” Programs to support Morale & Well-Being, Culture & Tradition
and Mission Sustainability

Please provide a brief description of the project being submitted to the 12% SRPMIC Grant
program. In the description please provide a summary of the relevant experience, administrative
activity, and program development related to the grant request.

FCP’s Top Three programs target the Morale & Well-Being, Culture & Tradition and Mission
Sustainability areas within Luke AFB that have been identified as areas of need. These areas
change as the areas of need within the base change. Areas of need are identified by the senior
leadership of Luke AFB, and FCP assumes the appropriate role to assist with the challenge at
hand. Whether is it funding Financial Literacy Programs, Chaplain’s Monthly Deployed Family
Dinners, Morale and Welfare Airman Wingman Days, or a base wellness affair, FCP directs its
resources where needed. The mission of Luke AFB is to train the world’s greatest fighter pilots
and maintainers while deploying mission ready warfighters, and FCP focuses its Top Three
attention towards quality of life aspects that assist in keeping base morale high while these
strong integrity airmen, soldiers and sailors serve our great nation. One of our key strengths in
our ability to be flexible no matter the situation. The COVID19 is a perfect example as FCP
flexed in multiple ways to assist and provide additional resources to support the military
members and their families during the incredibly challenging times.

What percentage of the grant request are Direct Costs of the programming and Indirect Costs,
respectively? 100% Direct Costs

Define the Project Category and/or relevant sub-category: Social Services
(i.e. Education, Public Safety, Transportation, Economic Development, Health Care, Social
Services, or Cultural and Environment)

If the amount of funding received is less than the amount needed for the project, do you have
other funds to complete the project? (Please Explain): Yes

FCP’s Top Three program is ongoing and we are always raising funds and identifying resources
to support and enhance the quality of life at Luke. We are successful in our mission of
supporting the men, women, families and mission of Luke AFB because we receive support from
municipalities, businesses, individuals and other organizations as well as 12% gaming grant
dollars. If SRPMIC funds were not made available to FCP, these programs would continue and
FCP will adjust to identify other sources for funding.
