Cost Per Individual: Business Development Program <br /> <br />This cost per individual must reflect the total program budget divided by the total number of <br />program individuals in this application. <br /> <br />*Note: Since 2019, farmers enrolled in TTCF’s Business Development Program have been <br />working towards increasing their independence and individual business autonomy through <br />monthly Leadership Development workshops. These farmers are highly skilled and farming has <br />been a life long career. However, farming in the U.S. presents unique barriers including lack of <br />familiarity with accessing resources and U.S. culture and customs as well as language and <br />literacy to name a few. In addition, outside of TTCF, culturally and linguistically accessible <br />business development training support is not available to the refugee/immigrant community. <br />The point being that farmers and staff are actively working to co-create solutions to increasing <br />farmer independence which over the next 2-3 years would lessen the cost per individual. <br />However, the current cost per individual is crucial to continue as drastically or quickly <br />removing the necessary support that TTCF provides for these farmers businesses would <br />undermine the decade of work many have put into the creation of their business and would fail <br />to recognize the ways in which refugee/immigrant BIPOC farmers are marginalized and <br />disadvantaged by U.S. systems. <br /> <br /> Actual 2020-2021 Projected 2021-2022 Projected 2022-2023 <br />Total Cost of Program N/A N/A $196,085 <br />Total # of Individuals N/A N/A 20 <br />Cost Per Individual N/A N/A $9,804.25 <br /> <br /> <br />Program Name: Business Development Program <br /> <br />EXHIBIT A: PROVIDER'S OUTSIDE AGENCY APPLICATION <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: F38AEFE6-1D08-4C4C-8C40-AA9F3F782631
