Collaborators and Partners <br />In some projects, collaborators and partners provide essen-al capacity and connec-ons. If collaborators <br />or partners are an essen-al part of your project whether or not they are receiving grant funds, please use <br />this sec-on to provide more details. If you are not working with collaborators or partners, please feel free <br />to write N/A in this sec-on and move to the Social Jus-ce and Racial Equity sec-on. <br />13.Please describe one to three key <br />partnerships/collabora-ons that <br />add the most value to the <br />success of the proposed project: <br />We don’t have any formal collaborators on the project, but the <br />following three organiza-ons have contributed to the start of our <br />Community Compost Collec-on site at the ERFM and con-nue to <br />play an important role, though they will not be involved in the <br />hiring, training or supervising of the paid compost monitors. <br />We could not have started the Community Compost Collec-on site <br />at the ERFM without the help of Orange County Solid Waste <br />Management. They are paying for the collec-on, pick up and <br />compos-ng of our collec-on as part of their 21-year effort to <br />reduce the amount of waste going to landfills. <br />Orange County Waste Management contracts with Brooks <br />Contractors. Brooks picks up and composts what is collected at the <br />market. They consider themselves bridge connectors for the <br />community, in gebng organic wastes from plate back to the farm <br />to do the whole cycle over again. They view their business role as <br />true community collaborators for compos-ng—a process that <br />leads to fresh, healthy food, reduced greenhouse gas emissions <br />and richer soil for our farmers and home gardeners. <br />Climate Reality Orange County ini-ated and coordinated the <br />Community Compost Collec-on site at the Eno River Farmers’ <br />Market and has been serving as volunteer coordinator for the site. <br />Note: The Eno River Farmers’ Market will be administering the <br />grant by themselves and carrying out all the tasks of recruitment, <br />organizing, advising, training and supervising the compost <br />monitors. <br /> Page of 10 22 <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 9FB641C3-C7F6-4609-BE4A-71829032AD83
