Background:
Each year during a budget workshop, the non-profit organizations that have on-going funding agreements with the City are asked to present to the Commission regarding their achievements during the past year and to discuss these accomplishments and future endeavors. To this end, staff has reached out to the 6 non-profits that currently receive funding and have asked them to prepare such a presentation along with anything else they would like to share or discuss with the Commission.
Each organization has been asked to prepare for a 10 minute presentation and a roughly 5 minute question and answer session.
The presentations have been scheduled in the following order (with the amount of the organization's
funding in the current FY):
A. Friends of Sandoway House Nature Center ($31,200)

C. Achievement Center for Children and Families
1. To Support Achievement Center Programming ($81,000)
