H. Overview and review of the grant cycle timeline and review of the Policy, Guidelines, Application, and Evaluation
and Recommendation Process for the FY 2016-17 Strategic Partnerships for Community Services Grant Cycle--
Suzy Pukys, SPCS Board Chair and Shirley J. Rinn, Board Liaison
Pukys and Rinn provided an overview of the history and current process for the annual grant application cycle.
The Board discussed the City’s policy regarding presentations to the City Council and its Advisory
Boards. There was a discussion as to whether or not an agency could come and speak if they
requested to under the Council Policy for “Citizen’s Wishing to Address the Council or Advisory
Boards” and whether the Board could deny that request since the policy is to not hear
presentations from the agencies who apply. Rinn told the Board she would confer with the City’s
legal department regarding this issue. The consensus among the Board was that they would prefer
not hear individual presentations from each agency who applies for grant funding and that only
written grant application materials should be considered when making recommendations,
regardless of whether a presentation was made to the Board.
There was also extensive discussion regarding the timeline, application process and application
materials. The Board indicated that it would like to meet after the annual Final Reports are
submitted in October to review them. There was also consensus among the board that any agency
that did not complete the performance measures required in the final reports may not be
considered for funding in the following year. The Board also indicated that it would like language
included in the application materials that “incomplete applications will not be considered for
funding” and that “only materials submitted with the applications would be reviewed for funding
consideration”. Rinn told the Board she would provide the last audit reports that were submitted
(FY 2014-15) for their review.

STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS FOR
COMMUNITY SERVICES GRANT FUNDING
POLICIES AND GUIDELINES
FY 2016-17
I. CRITERIA FOR SUPPORT – CURRENT STANDARDS:
A. Purpose Statement for City of Georgetown funding to the nonprofit sector
The City of Georgetown values partnerships with organizations that are committed to addressing
our community’s greatest public challenges.
The purpose of City funding to the nonprofit sector is to cultivate and sustain partnerships with
501(c)3 organizations that strengthen the City’s key priorities in the following areas:
• Public Safety;
• Transportation;
• Housing;
• Parks & Recreation;
• Veteran Services; and,
• Safety Net.
B. Key Priority Areas Defined
Public Safety.
• While the City is Georgetown’s Public Safety leader (Fire & Police), public safety also
encompasses a broad scope of work that makes this community safe for all.
Eligible organizations and programs may include those that contribute to safe
neighborhoods such out of school time, youth empowerment, and neighborhood
community centers.
Transportation.
• Eligible organizations include those that assist in meeting the transportation needs of
Georgetown residents unable to access private transportation such as homebound seniors
and youth under the age of 16 years.
Housing.
• Eligible organizations include those that offer emergency shelter, transitional or temporary
housing, and affordable housing.
Page 8 of 30
FY 2016/17 Strategic Partnerships for Community Services Grant Funding Policies and Guidelines
Page 2 of 2
Parks & Recreation.
• Eligible organizations include those that provide affordable, accessible activities that
enhance Georgetown residents’ health and well-being, including sports, fitness, and other
recreational programs.
Veteran’s Services
• Support veteran programs and services within the community.
Safety Net.
• The City recognizes its responsibility to support efforts to address this community’s most
pressing basic needs. Examples of basic needs include food insecurity, emergency financial
assistance, mental/behavioral health care, substance abuse, domestic/family violence, and
health care, including, but not limited to, dental and vision. Safety Net priorities will be
based on ongoing analysis of unmet existing needs and emerging needs in this community,
and may change over time.
II. IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES:
A. Appropriation of funds for Strategic Partnerships for Community Services does not
encumber subsequent councils to continue appropriations for such funding, and does not
imply that subsequent councils may provide such funding. Organizations receiving Strategic
Partnerships for Community Services grants from the city are encouraged to identify
additional and alternative sources of funding.
B. When evaluating applications for Strategic Partnerships for Community Services grant
funding, the Council shall consider the portion of funding each organization receives from
the City, with the objective of encouraging reliance on funding sources other than the City.
III. POLICY FOR ESTABLISHING FUNDING AMOUNTS
A. Expenditure targets per Fiscal and Budgetary Policy approved by the City Council:
The City has targeted funding for these programs to be $5.00 per capita, which may be adjusted
to offset the effects of general inflation based upon CPI. If previous funding levels are higher than
the targeted amount, and to avoid significant reductions in levels of funding, the City Council shall
seek to attain this target chiefly through population growth. These funds will be allocated and
paid according to the City Council’s policies and guidelines for Strategic Partnerships for
Community Services that were approved by the City Council on April 14, 2015.
The proposed funding level for 2016/17 is $400,049, which is the same as in the previous
year.
B. The Minimum Grant that may be applied for is $10,000.
C. The Maximum Grant that may be applied for is $50,000.

Organization Background
The first five questions in this section were adopted from Charting Impact, developed by the Better
Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance, GuideStar USA, and Independent Sector. We chose to use these five
questions because they have been thoroughly tested and encourage strategic thinking.
Remember to answer all questions in this section at the organization level, NOT the project/program
level. Be sure to cite all statistics and research in a separate attachment.
Note: Character maximums include spaces. 2,000 characters with spaces is approximately equivalent to 325 words.
1. What is your organization striving to accomplish?
Clearly and concisely state your organization's ultimate goal for intended impact. Identify the groups or communities
you aim to assist, the needs your work is addressing, and your expected outcomes. Examine how your goals for the
next three to five years (or an alternate timeframe specified in your answer) fit within your overall plan to contribute
to lasting, meaningful change. When finished ask yourself, "If someone unfamiliar with our work were to read this,
would they have a clear definition of what long-term success means for my organization?" (2,000 character max.)
2. What are your strategies for making this happen?
Describe your organization's strategies for accomplishing the long-term goals you cited in your previous answer.
Specify the broad approaches you employ and why your organization believes these methods will benefit your target
population or advance your issue. State near-term activities that serve as important building blocks for future
success, explaining how these elements strengthen your organization's strategic approach. (2,000 character max.)
3. What are your organization's capabilities for doing this?
Detail the resources, capacities, and connections that support your progress toward long-term goals. While
describing your organization's core assets, identify both internal resources (including, but not limited to, staff,
budget, and expertise) and external strengths (including partnerships, collaborations, networks, and influence) that
have contributed to, or will contribute in the future to, the accomplishment of these goals. (2,000 character max.)
4. How will your organization know if you are making progress?
Explain how your organization assesses progress toward your intended impact. Identify milestones that signal
progress and success. Describe your assessment and improvement process: the methods you use as you monitor
key indicators and how your organization uses that information to refine your efforts. (2,000 character max.)
5. What have and haven't you accomplished so far?
Demonstrate recent progress toward your long-term goals by describing how your near-term objectives are
propelling your organization toward your ultimate intended impact. Go beyond the outputs of your work to make
clear how these outcomes are contributing to fulfilling long-term goals. In describing both outcomes achieved and
those not yet realized, include what your organization has learned about what does and doesn't work, what risks
Page 11 of 30
and obstacles exist, and what adjustments to goals, strategies, or objectives have been made along the way. (2,000
character max.)

Program Request Information
Note: If you have already provided appropriate responses to any of the questions below in the
previous Organization Background section, simply type, “Answered in #___ of the Organization
Background section.”
This section focuses on the program(s) for which you are requesting funding.
1. Describe the program for which you are requesting funding, and the cause/issue it seeks to address.
Detail the strategies, resources, capacities, and connections that support your progress toward long-term goals.
Provide evidence to support the strategies you employ within the program, and whether such strategies have
been proven effective by research. (2,000 character max.)
2. Present data that substantiates the need for the services you wish to provide. Describe the need for
services and the tools you use to identify need. If you have wait lists for your services, describe the reasons or
conditions that necessitate the wait lists, and how you prioritize them. (2,000 character max.)
3. Provide program service costs in the table below. If you quantify your service in units, please define what
is meant by “unit.”
Program Service Costs (Note: Table below will expand should you need to include additional comments/clarifications.)
Individuals/Units of Service Total Program Costs Individual/Unit Costs
4. If the program is new to the community and your target population, how do you plan to promote
it? How will you make the program visible to those who would benefit from it? If this question does
not apply to your request, insert “N/A.” (1,000 character max.)
5. How do you coordinate, cooperate, or collaborate with other agencies to achieve your program
goals? Specifically highlight those organizations with which you have formalized agreements, such
as Letters of Commitment or Memoranda of Understanding. (2,000 character max.)
Coordination. Harmonious functioning of parts for effective results. Helping each other but not changing the basic way of doing
business.
Cooperation. Common effort and association for the purpose of common benefit. Helping each other in specific ways.
Collaboration. To work jointly with others on a common goal that is beyond what any one group can accomplish alone.
(adapted from: Forest, C. Empowerment skills for family workers: A worker handbook. Cornell University, 2003.)

best situated to provide this service. (2,000 character max.)

Evaluation
Define the primary goal or goals (up to 3) you hope to achieve through this funding for your program. The
goal identified below should be attainable within a 12-month period, and must relate to goals/outcomes
articulated in the Program Request section of this proposal.
GOAL: What will this funding help you accomplish? Example: Increase financial literacy for 200 low-
income adults in Williamson County.
Activities: What activities will support or accomplish your goals? Example: Deliver financial literacy
classes.
Outputs: What do you expect these activities to produce? Outputs are often quantitative measures
such as # of participants, # of sessions held, # of encounters, so be sure to include anticipated
benchmarks that will gauge your progress. Example: Present 24 financial literacy classes (2 per month)
serving 200 adults. Regular attendance and number of participants (at least 20 per session) serve as key
benchmarks in determining the success of the program.
Outcomes: What benefits, impact, or changes in behavior, knowledge, skills, and/or attitudes for
participants do you anticipate will result from completion of the activities? Example: 85% of the 200
participants in the financial literacy program will exhibit increased financial literacy knowledge and skills
as determined by pre- and post-testing.
Performance Measures: How will you know when you have accomplished your goal? How will you
measure and quantify results? Example: % of participants’ improvement from pre-test to post-test,
regular attendance, and number of attendees.
