Background
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Town of Paradise Valley has awarded funding to various community service organizations benefitting the Town, its residents, and the broader community since 1986. In 2009, the Council created a Human Services Funding Committee and adopted funding guidelines. In 2014, the Council adopted a resolution renaming the committee, amending the policy to broaden the definition of eligible organizations, and clarified the process by which funds are awarded.
In March, organizations who had received funding in the past were invited to submit grant applications. In addition, the Town issued a press release, posted information on social media platforms, and provided information to HOA presidents. The Town received nine applications by the April 18th deadline totaling $89,000 in requests. The Council budgeted a total of $50,000 for FY 2017-18.
A group made up of Council Member Sherf, Council Member Pace, and Town Manager Burke met on May 10 to the review the applications. The Town Manager recommends awarding funding to the following organizations.
