Proposed Use of Grant Funds
The grant funding will be utilized to strengthen the Summer Enrichment Program.
It will expand the curriculum to include the arts and offer six weeks of free academic
programing in the rural northern area of Orange County. The major goal of the program
was to increase student retention of content and skills knowledge and assist in the closing
the achievement gap. The tentative dates of the program are June 19 through July 28,
2017.
The program will be held at the Cedar Grove Community Center. We have
developed a similar program in the summer, immediately following the grand opening.
The Center provided a five week program in 2016 from June 20 through July 21, 2016.
The program included both male and female students in the elementary,middle school
and high school. The center served 54 students with the highest enrollment for any given
day of twenty-five students and the lowest student enrollment of seven. Enrollment was
impacted by parent prearranged vacations and the Fourth of July Holiday. Participation in
the closing activities included a Magician Presentation and a trip to Sports Plex.
The program included a majority of African American students with interracial
students and three Caucasian students. Students range in age from 6 to 18. The
geographical area of Cedar Grove is very limited in activities and opportunities to
experience cultural activities and diversity. This grant will provide funding to travel and
experience the arts and cultural activities in group setting. The musical component will
increase creativity and expression. Trips will increase awareness and appreciation for the
Arts. An artist has not been selected to lead this wonderful opportunity. The vision is to
bring a Drummer as a resident instructor to explore music, create art projects with an Art
instructor, and develop a Community Choir. I have attached my vita and I have an
abundance of experience with teaching,training teachers and providing leadership as an
Adjunct Professor. The past six months has allowed us to grow and expand on wings. We
trust you will allow the vision to expand.

IF YOU WRITE, ATTACH THE
STUB AT THE END OF THIS NOTICE.
WE ASSIGNED YOU AN EMPLOYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Thank you for applying for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) . We assigned
you EIN 81-3325841. This EIN will identify you, your business accounts, tax returns,
and documents, even if you have no employees. Please keep this notice in your
permanent records.
When filing tax documents, payments, and related correspondence, it is very
important that you use your EIN and complete name and address exactly as shown above.
Any variation may cause a delay in processing, result in incorrect information in your
account, or even cause you to be assigned more than one EIN. If the information
is not correct as shown above, please make the correction using the attached tear-off
stub and return it to us.
When you submitted your application for an EIN, you checked the box indicating
you are a non-profit organization. Assigning an EIN does not grant tax-exempt status
to non-profit organizations. Publication 557, Tax-Exempt Status for Your
Organization, has details on the application process, as well as information on
returns you may need to file. To apply for recognition of tax-exempt status under
Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c) (3) , organizations must complete a Form
1023-series application for recognition. All other entities should file Form 1024 if
they want to request recognition under Section 501(a) .
Nearly all organizations claiming tax-exempt status must file a Form 990-series
annual information return (Form 990, 990-EZ, or 990-PF) or notice (Form 990-N)
beginning with the year they legally form, even if they have not yet applied for or
received recognition of tax-exempt status.
Unless a filing exception applies to you (search www.irs.gov for Annual Exempt
Organization Return: Who Must File) , you will lose your tax-exempt status if you fail
to file a required return or notice for three consecutive years. We start calculating
this three-year period from the tax year we assigned the EIN to you. If that first
tax year isn't a full twelve months, you're still responsible for submitting a return
for that year. If you didn't legally form in the same tax year in which you obtained
your EIN, contact us at the phone number or address listed at the top of this letter.
For the most current information on your filing requirements and other important
information, visit www.irs.gov/charities.
