Please describe any avoided <br />financial costs or savings <br />related to the project and over <br />what period of time those <br />costs will be avoided/reduced. <br />Volunteer time and labor = 200+ hours over one month <br /> Energy costs (HVAC, Water, Electricity) over the course of 50 years+ for <br />a 400 sq foot structure. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />17. Does your project accelerate <br />or expand on existing <br />programs that already show <br />positive impact? <br />This project expands on Jubilee Healing Farm’s existing outdoor mental <br />health programs that impact the clients of Jubilee Clinic. Jubilee serves <br />clients through an intensive outpatient program in which clients <br />participate in eco-therapy and outdoor activities to help advance <br />mental health healing. This classroom and food forest will serve as a <br />space for clients to learn and grow as well as a space for them to hone <br />their outdoor and farming skills. This cob classroom will also serve as a <br />learning space for our Peer Outdoor Education in Mental Health <br />(POEM) program which trains Black college students to be NC certified <br />Peer Support Specialists. <br />18. Does your project take <br />advantage of other funding <br />sources? <br />Not at this time <br />19. Would your proposed project <br />help you to take advantage of <br />funding from other sources <br />besides this grant in the <br />future? <br />Funding this project would help Jubilee Healing Farm expand climate, <br />community mental health and arts programs. The Triangle Community <br />Foundation has indicated that once success is demonstrated, Jubilee <br />would be a candidate for a larger Cultural Arts grant from the Triangle <br />Community Foundation which would make expansion on programs that <br />unite Cultural Arts and Climate Action possible. The additional outdoor <br />education space will also make Jubilee a more compelling contender <br />for community education and development grants that combine <br />mental health with environmental action. <br />20. Please describe any other <br />aspect of your project that is <br />relevant to the efficient use of <br />grant funds. <br />Jubilee Healing Farm utilizes volunteers in an effective and efficient way to <br />keep costs down and commitment and engagement high. These funds would <br />not only help create an environmentally sound structure and community food <br />source, but would also increase our investment among volunteers, helping <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 61C3903E-05FE-49FE-A6AF-E50B7D61917E
