Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Office of Diversity and Inclusion to modify an existing grant agreement with All Nations Worship Assembly of Columbus, Ohio, Inc., dba 314 Church, a local registered non-profit organization to support the continuation of its summer youth programming. The current agreement term is from May 19, 2025 to September 30, 2025. At the time of award, demand and funding levels were based on initial projections. A shortfall in external funding and increased community demand for summer youth programming created an unanticipated need. The current organization is actively delivering services with the necessary infrastructure in place. The $25,000 is based on revised cost estimates from the organization, covering expanded staffing, supplies, and operations. These costs were reviewed and deemed reasonable and consistent with prior rates.
Amount of additional funds to be expended: $25,000.00
Original Grant Agreement $100,000.00 (PO512364)
Modification #1 $25,000.00 (This Ordinance)
The agreement amount including all modifications: $125,000.00
Fiscal Impact: This ordinance authorizes an appropriation and expenditure of $25,000.00 from the Neighborhood Initiatives subfund for entrepreneurship programs.
Emergency Designation: Emergency action is requested to ensure that funding can be disbursed as soon as possible to ensure no disruption to operations for this non-profit organization.
