<br />PROGRAM INFORMATION 1/18/2018 7:54:45 PM Page 21 of 29 <br />kids’ lives for the better, forever. Without grant funding, at-risk youth in our service <br />area, simply put, will not have the opportunity to be matched with a Big – which <br />means they will miss out on the deep, impactful, meaningful relationship that comes <br />with that. <br /> <br /> It costs approximately $1,500 to create and support a match, and that $1,500 is <br /> derived from: cost of staff to enroll, interview, match, and support mentoring <br /> relationships; trainings provided to parents and mentors; liability and property <br /> insurance; program activities; BBBSA affiliation dues; AIM fees; and criminal <br /> background checks for all volunteers. <br /> <br /> Support like yours means that the at-risk youth in our community are less likely to <br /> fall through the cracks. Our agency’s mere existence hinges on help from our <br /> generous funders. We deeply appreciate your continued support, and we hope to <br /> have a close working relationship for years to come! <br /> <br />k) What percentage of your target population is low-moderate income? Eighty- <br />one percent of the children we serve qualify for free/reduced lunch, which is how we <br />measure income level. <br /> <br />l) What efforts do you make to seek feedback about your program from your <br />target population (e.g. survey, evaluations, etc.?) Our Match Support Specialist <br />(MSS) Team makes monthly match support calls to the parents and families that we <br />serve. These calls give us feedback from our target population about how the match <br />is going, how we as an agency can improve, and what may or may not be working <br />for our Littles and families. <br /> <br />m) Include any other pertinent information. <br /> <br /> <br />Exhibit A: <br />Provider's Outside Agency Application <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 1381F24A-F27B-438F-AC45-7A16015EA606
