C4. Describe your <br />proposed use of <br />funds. (150 word <br />limit) <br />These funds will be used primarily to pay CompostNow for food waste pick <br />up ($22,836.67). There are also funds budgeted for kitchen countertop <br />compost bins ($1,525), and compostable liners ($880). New neighborhoods <br />will likely need some funding for printing to get the word out about their <br />program ($1,525) and to provide a small amount of food for kick-off <br />educational events ($1,000). The church we are partnering with would like <br />to start composting paper towels from their restrooms and we've budgeted <br />funds to purchase trash cans specifically for paper towels ($200). W e <br />would like to hire a part time staff member, and there are some funds to do <br />that for a short period of time ($1,060). Finally, we are working with a non- <br />profit fiscal sponsor and there are funds for them to accept the funding, <br />track spending, and distribute funding to our neighborhood partners <br />($1,451.33). <br />The total amount requested is $30,478.00 <br />C5. If a full award for <br />your project is not <br />possible, can/will you <br />accept partial funding <br />and still be <br />successful? <br />Yes <br />Please explain how <br />your project can still <br />be successful if you <br />don't receive the full <br />requested amount. <br />(200 word limit) <br />If we don't receive the full amount, we will strategically choose <br />neighborhoods to participate. W e will base this decision on the <br />demographics of the neighborhood (prioritizing more diverse <br />neighborhoods), and the impact each neighborhood is expected to have <br />through this program. <br />Section D.
