Summary: Computers for foster youth
Paving Over Foster Care works with youth that have aged out of the foster care system by providing safe-stable housing, wrap-around life skills, trauma coaching, brain injury support, as well as education and vocational support. Each year 900 youth age out of the foster care system, within two years 50% of these youth will become homeless and 65% of our chronically homeless in Arizona were a part of foster care. By being provided with computers for our youth, this allows them to have the barrier of resources for school (like not being able to afford a computer), assignments, and research for their classes taken away so they can achieve success. This resource would allow Paving Over Foster Care to provide the necessary resource for school to be as successful as they can be not just through the overall support of the program but by resource of a computer to be able to have what they need in their educational journey.
We will provide 6 laptop computers at $2600 and six seats of Microsoft office at $200 Club members will deliver the computers and help with set-up. Computers will stay with the organization in order to serve new residents when previous ones graduate.

Rotary District Grant deficiencies

1. I have modified the Financing section of the grant as requested.
2. The MOU was uploaded with the original application. Are you not able to see it?
3. FYI the original budget was written according to the District Grants Guidelines: - Clubs which have reached $100 per capita giving to the Annual Fund in the 2025-26 Rotary Year are eligible for a maximum of $2500 in grant funds.
• Clubs will be expected to provide at least 1/3 of the funds used in a project. For example, on a $3,000 project, the club would provide $1,000 and funding from the District DDF would provide $2,000.
4. We can't sign the application until you publish it.
Thank you.

It's one day before the deadline, and the project has still not been published. We will need some time to get it signed.
