Category (select one) - examples provided denote only a sampling of the types
of projects available and are not a complete list:
Education –
e.g. equipment for schools, after-school programs, school capital improvements
(field trips not allowed). Instructions: Complete Items 1-6 below
(Item 8 optional)
Category name (if
none of above):
1. Summary
of Request: In the space below, briefly describe the purpose of the
request, activities to be undertaken, target population —including
ethnicity, gender, income level and estimated number of individuals —
geographic focus and other relevant info regarding the request.
Example: Purchase
sign for a community clinic that serves more than 1,000 low-income individuals,
predominately, Latino & Asian immigrants in the Montecito Heights,
Hermon & Sycamore Grove areas.
Purchase 4 yard
benches for the school yard at Latona Avenue Elementary School. The
school population is over 90% Latino. A significant percentage of the
students qualify for reduced or free lunch.
2. How
will the community be impacted by the proposed project and how will it benefit
the neighborhood? Rationale: Community projects must directly
benefit ASNC communities. Concerns about who & how many individuals will
benefit from such projects also need consideration. Issues of access and
fairness need to be addressed (e.g. if a project is approved to plant trees on
one street corner, justification should be provided as to why that street
corner needs trees or clean-up versus other street corners).
Several of the
yard benches are damaged (have holes). This creates a potential safety
hazard for young children. A child's fingers and hand could get stuck in
one of the numerous holes.
3. How
has your organization attempted to obtain donations from local businesses,
citizens, and/or govŐt agencies to offset expenses for this community project?
Rationale:
Community groups cannot expect all funding to be provided by ASNC but should
first look for other sources, including businesses, citizens, council
districts, public agencies (e.g. Cultural Affairs), and other affected
neighborhood councils.
We are seeking
matching funds from Montecito Heights Improvement Association. Our goal
is to purchase a total of 4 benches (2 from MHIA and 2 from ASNC).
5. If
this is for a capital improvement project, specify location and permits
obtained (or in-process of obtaining). Provide copies of permits and
insurance with application. Rationale: Capital improvement projects
should be on public property, with coordination with the appropriate city
agency (i.e. Street Services, Fire, Rec & Parks, etc). Appropriate
permits need to be in place, and insurance may be required depending on the
nature of work that will be performed.
No permit is
required. School staff will place the benches.
6. If
this is for program services (ie. after-school program, graffiti removal, etc),
describe the selection process used to establish participants if for select
group of individuals. Provide number of participants.
Rationale: If for
a select group of individuals, a fair selection process should be created to
establish participants. The service program needs to be provided by a
legitimate non-profit/consultant. A neighborhood council or its members should
not provide these services.
N/A
7. If
this is for equipment and supplies, describe specifically who will benefit and
how it will be controlled. Rationale: Equipment and supplies for either
public or private organizations can only be used for the benefit of the local
community. Purchases intended for private and/or paid use are not
allowed. Must be labeled as ASNC-purchased material and properly
controlled/inventoried. Cannot be turned into private property or salvaged
without prior approval by Dept of Neighborhood Empowerment (DONE).
The students at
Latona Avenue Elementary School with benefit from the new benches. The
benches will be placed in the school yard which is fenced, gated and locked.
8. If
this is for an event, describe the intended audience, location and entry
requirements. Rationale: Events must be open to the public. There
should not be an admission charge. If the event is on private property,
insurance may be needed. If the event is on city property, appropriate
permission/permits from city departments may be needed (i.e. street services,
LAPD, R&P, etc)
N/A
9. If
this is for a sign, banner or advertisement, describe the contents.
Provide a copy of the artwork with the application. Note: Banners,
signs and advertisements must include the Arroyo Seco Neighborhood CouncilŐs
name and/or logo.
N/A
9. Other
- please provide other important information necessary to better understand
your organization or the specific needs of the targeted group or community that
this request will serve. Mrs. Murphy, the school principal will be sending a
letter of thanks after the benches are received.
