P a g e 10 o f 1 4 <br />Criterion 3 - Efficient use of Funds <br />22. Please describe the location of <br />the emissions reduction. Where <br />would fossil fuels have been <br />burned if not for your project? <br />For projects creating electricity <br />usage reductions, it can be <br />difficult to determine the <br />location of the power <br />produced. Please feel free to <br />state “Grid-tied electricity <br />reduction” <br />We are located in downtown Carrboro. We are not <br />certain of the other locations of the emissions reduction; <br />however, we know that we are making an impact from <br />the COMPOSTNOW in: waste diverted, composed <br />created, methane avoided, CO2e avoided, CO2e miles <br />not driven, tomato potential of compost, and number of <br />garden partners. <br />23. Please describe any other <br />aspect of your project that is <br />relevant to the amount of <br />emissions that it will reduce or <br />avoid. <br />All of our project efforts contribute to reducing or <br />avoiding emissions. <br /> <br /> <br />1. Please estimate the impact of your project per grant dollar requested. <br />This cost per unit of impact must reflect the total program budget divided by the total impact of <br />the project described in this application. If the proposed project is new, please write N/A in the <br />first column of the table below, and just fill out the second column. <br /> Actual Annual Project <br />Costs <br />(If your proposed project <br />expands or accelerates an <br />ongoing effort) <br /> <br /> <br />Projected Project Costs <br />Total Cost of Project 14,521.56 32,227.28 <br />Unit of Impact: <br />Total # of tons of greenhouse gases reduced 21.26 21.26+ <br />Cost Per Ton of GHG’s Reduced $683.05 $1,515.86 and less <br />Unit of Impact: <br />Total # of individuals served/benefitted 97 100 <br />Cost Per Individual Served/Benefitted $140.86 $322.27 <br />Other Unit of Impact: Please describe here <br />Cost Per Unit of Impact <br />Other Unit of Impact: Please describe here <br />Cost Per Unit of Impact <br />(Please feel free to add rows if necessary to show any additional units of impact.) <br />24. Please describe any avoided <br />financial costs or savings <br />related to the project and over <br />what period of time those costs <br />will be avoided/reduced: <br />The above numbers within our budget are sometimes one time expenses therefore the numbers do not <br />accurately reflect the cost per person. <br />We will decrease cost by asking businesses to reduce costs to a nonprofit rate and shop as local as <br />possible. The Carrboro Farmer's market provides a cost avoidance through weekly donation of fresh local <br />produce throughout majority of the year. We can get 100 plus pounds of produce per week. Our compost <br />vendor (Compost Now) is paid for by Orange County Waste Management through a grant they have and <br />we will look in to getting compost back from them in the future once our garden beds are built. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: A9B18E2F-7835-4086-B808-E21D1F44AE18
