2017 Youth Program Support Fund
Proposed Recipients for Kittitas County funds
Proposal Basics:
Use funds from Kittitas County to support youth programs/activities throughout the county. All
organizations that sponsor youth (age 0-18) activities in Kittitas County were eligible to apply and
any organization that received funds through the scholarship program over the last year and a half
were solicited directly to apply. The proposal requested information about how the funds were to
be used and the amount requested. Funds were limited to one-time expenditures that supported
the program, such as special events/sports clinics, equipment, supplies, etc. A committee consisting
of two HopeSource employees and one community member reviewed the proposals and made
recommendations for awards. No committee members were formally associated with any of the
organizations submitting proposals. Individual award amounts were capped at $500. Awards were
based on the number of organizations applying and merits of the proposal, with priority given to
activities that directly support at-risk youth. Applicants whose projects were not funded will be
encouraged to have their particpants apply for our Youth Recreation Scholarships.
