Page 2 <br />August 29, 2018 <br />5 . Will this program ever be self-supporting? While it is difficult to imagine a time <br />when this program will be wholly self-sustaining, it is reasonable to think the costs can <br />be offset with other grants and some fund raising. The coordinator's job description <br />includes a need to research and apply for grants to offset the county's support. It is <br />reasonable to think the coordinator will need the first shelter season to evaluate and <br />understand the program. FISH's Executive Director and the Administrative Director are <br />experienced in researching grants and have successfully applied for a number of grants. <br />It is anticipated that those two positions would include shelter grant research into their <br />routine grant studies. <br />It is also expected that the first shelter season will be the most expensive. Once <br />the program is running, it is much easier to find ways to cut expenses. <br />FISH staff will be diligent about reviewing program operations and finding ways to <br />reduce expenses. <br />509-925-5990 PO Box 85 Ellen sburg, WA 98926 www.kvfish.org
