RECOMMENDATION: Approval to accept a grant and approve a budget adjustment in the amount of $1,500 from the Arkansas Community Foundation through their Giving Tree Grant Program. Funds will be used for developing a tutoring component within the Yvonne Richardson Community Center (YRCC) Afterschool program. BACKGROUND: The YRCC Afterschool program continues to provide opportunities for students to learn and grow outside of the school day. YRCC is looking to partner with Club Z Tutoring to assess currently enrolled students and develop a custom tutoring program for the fall semester of the 2024-25 school year. DISCUSSION: Staff identified that external funding would be necessary to implement a tutoring program at YRCC and that the Giving Tree Grant was an ideal opportunity. A proposal was submitted in February and the award letter was received in March. Funds provided through the grant will be used towards the development and implementation of a tutoring program beginning in August of 2024. Planned program expenses funded by the grant include the cost of tutoring assessments and one on one tutoring services. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: The Giving Tree Grant is a non -match grant. Grant funding and existing staff will support the new tutoring program. No additional impacts to the budget are anticipated.
