Subject: 2025 Marketing Campaign to Attract Young Families and Professionals Grant

Dear Mr. Miranda and Ms. Faggiano:

Thank you for the submittal of the proposal and grant request presented at the March 11, 2025, Industrial
Development Authority (IDA) meeting. The IDA approved the grant request in the amount of $150,000 that
will fund video production and ad-buys as part of a marketing campaign that will target young families and
professionals. This campaign will promote the many benefits of living in Chandler, with a focus on
education, job growth and career opportunities, community safety, family-friendly recreation amenities
and relative neighborhood affordability.

The IDA will pay the grant in Fiscal Year 2025-26 and will cover $100,000 to fund video and campaign asset
production and $50,000 in funding for digital ad buys. Upon receipt of invoices, please forward them to
the IDA for payment. Quarterly progress reports to the IDA will be used to monitor the program success
and should begin no later than July 2025.

If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Dawn Lang, City of Chandler, Deputy City
Manager | CFO at (480) 782-2255 or dawn.lang@chandleraz.gov.

Sincerely,

For Charles Ertl, President ®)
