P a g e 11 o f 1 4 <br />Criterion 4 - Capacity of Applicant <br />Criterion 5 - Local Economic Development <br />25. Does your project accelerate or <br />expand on existing programs <br />that already show positive <br />impact? <br />Yes, our project accelerates and expands on climate actions, including <br />composting, gardening, reducing food waste, plant-based diet, utilizing <br />local produce and materials vendors, capturing and utilizing rainwater, <br />limiting disposable items (using cloth napkins), and batch cooking. <br />26. Does your project also take <br />advantage of other funding <br />sources? <br />The Carrboro Farmer’s Market donates fresh produce from the Wednesday Market. During <br />the summer, we receive in excess of 100 pounds per week of fresh local produce that we <br />use creatively in our meal prep and menu. Our goal is to reduce food waste. <br />27. Would your proposed project <br />help you to take advantage of <br />funding from other sources <br />besides this grant in the future? <br />Yes, we know there are other funders who are interested in <br />supporting projects and efforts to mitigate the negative effects of <br />climate change. Often potential funders want to know that there are <br />other funders supporting a project. <br />28. Please describe any other <br />aspect of your project that is <br />relevant to the efficient use of <br />grant funds: <br />Club Nova's overall successful implementation of the many <br />different climate action measures demonstrates that Club Nova will <br />make efficient use of the grant funds. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />29. Please describe any projects <br />that you have completed <br />successfully in the past which <br />are similar to the project you <br />are proposing: <br />From previous question: Club Nova serves as a model for all of Orange County regarding accomplishments we have made to mitigate the negative impacts of Climate Change. We have already addressed major facets of the local Climate Action Plans. In our new building design, we included capacity for solar cells. We have a large <br />southern exposure, and almost the entire southern roof contains solar cells. Please see photograph/s. There is an east and west gable that also has solar cells. The members and staff of Club Nova, after much research and discussion, decided to build an all-electric building, including an all-electric commercial kitchen (electric <br />range, convection ovens, steamer) and water heater. We included an electric vehicle charging station in our parking area. <br />We selected all native plants for our trees and pollinator gardens. <br />30. If you are proposing to <br />collaborate with other <br />organizations on this project, <br />please briefly describe their <br />relevant experience to the <br />project and/or the target <br />population: <br />Refer to item #13 and attachment titled "Additional <br />Collaborators" <br />31.
