Education: General
Summary: Technology improvements, painting, murals, and activities for disenfranchised youth in Nampa, ID
Roughly 40-50 at-risk (high school dropouts) students per year attend GED preparation at Breaking Chains Academy of Development. The goal is to break the cycle of gang affiliation and create an opportunity for them to obtain a GED and pursue employment. The grant will enrich and enhance the educational experience by providing much needed technological equipment, supplies, classroom atmosphere, off-site experiences, and an ability for students to express their artistic ability. Rotarians will assist in mentoring, assembling and installing equipment, working with youth to paint and chaperoning their off-site experiences.

Could you please support your budget with some vendor estimates to explain your numbers? You're asking for a lot of money with little back up as to why $10,000 is the right amount for this project. Thank you!

Status is correct. We are quite eager to move forward, but we are in a holding pattern - hoping for an approval on our grant application. Please forgive any errors - this is the first time I've authored our proposal. Please advise me of any next steps I need to take. Thank you for your continued guidance and support.

Couple of things to clear up prior to the district auditor review: the revenue on the final report should show $5,000 of district grants funds, as that's what the grant award was. Reduce the club contribution so that the expenses and revenue will balance. When you upload the new report, name it "Final Report". Then delete the report you uploaded on 5/15/22. Once this is done, click "reported" on the administration side of the description tab. If you have photos of the Rotarians doing their work on the project, upload some of those too.
