AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Spokane Valley Tourism Promotion Area (TPA)
five-year Destination Marketing Strategic Plan; Tourism Marketing Services Agreement; and
Tourism Brand Name & Tagline
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 3.21 SVMC
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
August 23, 2022, Council formally accepted a petition signed by qualified hotel
owners/operators in Spokane Valley to establish a City-wide TPA, and adopted Resolution
22-017, which declares intent to establish a TPA and set a public hearing on September
13, 2022. Notice of the public hearing was published in The Valley News Herald and
mailed to hoteliers in Spokane Valley pursuant to RCW 35.101.060(2).
September 13, 2022, Council held a public hearing and first reading on the proposed
adoption of Ordinance 22-016. Council moved to advance Ordinance 22-016 to a second
reading on September 20, 2022.
September 20, 2022, Council adopted Ordinance 22-016, establishing a City-wide TPA,
with an effective date of January 1, 2023, for the TPA Commission.
September 20, 2022, staff received an agreement from the Washington State Department
of Revenue authorizing the City to establish a TPA to permit the levy of lodging charges
to be used exclusively for tourism promotion.
January 1, 2023, per Ordinance 22-016, the Spokane Valley TPA became effective along
with the establishment of Spokane Valley TPA Hotel Commission.
On January 30, 2023, the TPA Commission supported moving forward with a Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) to identify a qualified consultant to develop a five-year destination
marketing plan and 18-month marketing service plan.
March 30, 2023, the TPA Commission and staff heard presentations from the selected
consultants where they highlighted their qualifications for both a five-year Destination
Marketing Plan and Tourism Marketing Services Plan and answered questions from the
Commission. The Commission deliberated and determined that 116 & West was the most
qualified consultant to develop the City’s five-year Destination Marketing Plan and Tourism
Marketing Services Plan.
April 20, 2023, the TPA Commission was provided details outlining a summary scope of
work and proposed fee of $44,025 from 116 & West to develop a five-year Destination
Marketing Strategic Plan. After deliberation and by unanimous consensus, the
Commission recommended the City Council approve the proposal from 116 & West.
May 2, 2023, City Council approved a motion to authorize the City Manager or designee
to negotiate, finalize, and execute a contract for $44,045 with 116 & West to develop a
five-year Destination Marketing Plan.
August 15, 2023, Council received the first annual TPA Summary Report outlining
activities and related work completed by the Economic Development Department Staff
and the TPA Commission between Jan. 1, 2023, and August 31, 2023.
August 17, 2023, the TPA Commission was provided with a final draft of the five-year
Destination Marketing Strategic Plan and by unanimous consensus, recommended that
City Council approve the plan after final edits are complete.
August 17, 2023, the TPA Commission also discussed a summary scope of work and
proposed fee of $813,500 from 116 & West for tourism marketing services through
December 2024. These services would be guided by the implementation of the five-year
plan and funded solely with TPA revenue. By unanimous consensus, the Commission
recommended that City Council approve the scope and fee proposal with the
understanding that the resulting agreement for services could likely be amended per
available TPA funding.
On September 5, 2023, the TPA Commission was provided with draft “name and tagline”
concepts for the city’s tourism brand from 116 & West. Selection of a name and tagline for
the city’s tourism brand is a core element in the five-year plan and necessary to move
forward with development of other tools and services. The Commission, by vote of three
in favor and one opposed, recommended that City Council approve the selection of
“Discover THE VALLEY” (name) and “Spokane Valley, WA” (tagline) for branding the city’s
tourism initiatives.
On September 12, 2023, 116 & West provided a brief presentation to Council on the five-
year plan, proposed marketing services and recommended tourism brand. By consent,
Council directed staff to bring forward a motion to approve 1) the five-year Destination
Marketing Strategic Plan 2) authorize City Manager or designee to execute a contract with
116 & West for $813,500 to provide destination marketing services through December 31,
2024, and 3) approve the selection of “Discover THE VALLEY” (name) and “Spokane
Valley, WA” (tagline) for branding the city’s tourism.
BACKGROUND:
With approval from both the TPA Commission and City Council, the Economic Development
Department published a RFQ in early February 2023 with the intent to use TPA revenues to hire
a consultant(s) to develop a five-year Destination Marketing Strategic Plan (Phase 1); and provide
18 months of marketing services through December 2024 (Phase 2).
On March 16, 2023, the TPA Commission reviewed 11 RFQ responses from consultants and
identified three consultants for interview. On March 30, 2023, the Commission and staff heard
presentations from the selected three consultants. The Commission deliberated and by
unanimous consensus, recommended 116 & West as the most qualified consultant to develop
both the five-year Destination Marketing Strategic Plan and provide Tourism Marketing Services
(after completion of the marketing plan).
The Economic Development Department negotiated a scope and fee ($44,025) proposal with 116
& West for Phase 1 – development of the five-year strategic plan. On April 20, 2023, the TPA
Commission, by unanimous consensus, recommended that City Council approve the proposal.
On May 2, 2023, the City Council approved a motion to authorize the City Manager or designee
to negotiate, finalize, and execute a contract with 116 & West to develop a five-year plan.
On August 17, 2023, the TPA Commission was provided a draft of the five-year Destination
Marketing Strategic Plan and after discussion recommended, by unanimous consensus, that City
Council approve the plan after final edits were completed.
In late July2023, the Economic Development Department negotiated a scope and fee ($813,500)
proposal with 116 & West for destination marketing services (Phase 2 of the RFQ). The original
concept outlined in the RFQ identified 18 months of services beginning July 1, 2023, but the
process was slightly delayed. The negotiated proposal identifies 15 months of destination
marketing services through December 31, 2024. The proposal splits the marketing services into
years 2023 ($400,000) and 2024 ($413,500), and ensures continuity through the development of
marketing tools, such as a new tourism website, printed materials and social media accounts, and
initiation of marketing campaigns.
The TPA Commission, after discussion and by unanimous consensus, recommended that City
Council approve the scope and fee proposal for marketing services from 116 & West with the
understanding that the resulting agreement could likely be amended per available future TPA
funding. The city’s Finance Department has requested that the expenditure of TPA revenues in
2023 be limited to $800,000 until a full 12 months of revenue collection is complete. That will
provide a more accurate estimate of available TPA revenues in 2024.
116 & West, after completing the five-year destination marketing plan in August, presented “name
and tagline” tourism brand concepts to the TPA Commission for review on September 5, 2023.
Selection of the city’s tourism name and tagline is a core element in the five-year plan and
necessary to move forward with development of other marketing services. The Commission, by
vote of three in favor and one opposed, recommended that City Council approve the selection of
“Discover ‘THE VALLEY” (name) and “Spokane Valley, WA” (tagline) for branding the city’s
tourism initiatives.
On September 12, 2023, 116 & West presented a brief overview of the five-year Destination
Marketing Strategic Plan, proposed marketing services through 2024, and a proposed name &
tagline for the city’s tourism brand to City Council. By consent, Council directed staff to bring
forward a motion to approve 1) the five-year Destination Marketing Strategic Plan 2) authorize
City Manager or designee to execute a contract with 116 & West for $813,500 to provide
destination marketing services through December 31, 2024, and 3) approve the selection of
“Discover THE VALLEY” (name) and “Spokane Valley, WA” (tagline) for branding the city’s
tourism initiatives OR take other action as deemed appropriate.
The requested action by City Council is crucial as it will provide 116 and West the opportunity to
immediately develop the necessary tools to move forward with tourism marketing for the City.
These three actions will allow 116 and West to initiate the development of a tourism logo to
accompany the name and tagline to further the implementation of the five-year Destination
Marketing Strategic Plan.
OPTIONS: Motion to 1) approve the five-year Destination Marketing Strategic Plan 2) authorize
City Manager or designee to execute a contract with 116 & West for $813,500 to provide
destination marketing services through December 31, 2024, and 3) approve the selection of
“Discover THE VALLEY” (name) and “Spokane Valley, WA” (tagline) for branding the city’s
tourism initiatives OR take other action as deemed appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Motion to 1) approve the five-year Destination
Marketing Strategic Plan 2) authorize City Manager or designee to execute a contract with 116 &
West for $813,500 to provide destination marketing services through December 31, 2024, and 3)
approve the selection of “Discover THE VALLEY” (name) and “Spokane Valley, WA” (tagline) for
branding the city’s tourism initiatives.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: From TPA revenues, $400,000 in year 2023 and $413,500 in
year 2024. The 2023 Amended Budget currently has $800,000 in estimated revenue collections
for the City's TPA fee and $45,000 in professional services expenditures. A future 2023 Budget
Amendment will come forward with additional expenditures amounts related to activities ongoing
through the remainder of the year.

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: September 19, 2023 Department Director Approval:
Check all that apply: consensus old business new business public hearing
information admin. report pending legislation executive session
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: City LTAC application, in partnership with
Spokane Sports, for a $4.4 million lodging tax grant award from Facilities Fund #104 to
construct a cross country course.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Imposition of tax, set-up of Lodging Tax Advisory Committee
(LTAC) and determination of qualified expenditures is governed by RCW 67.28; and Spokane
Valley Municipal Code 3.20.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
On June 6, 2023, Council heard a presentation and request from Spokane Sports to use
$300,000 in TPA-generated revenue for sports recruitment and marketing. By consent,
Council directed staff to bring forward a motion to authorize City Manager or designee to
execute a contract with Spokane Sports for $300,000 to provide sports recruitment and
marketing services for 2023.
On June 20, 2023, Council approved a motion to approve City Manager or designee to
execute a contract with Spokane Sports for $300,000 to provide sports recruitment and
marketing services for 2023.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s Economic Development Department, with the approval of City Council in a formal
motion on June 20, 2023, signed a contract in July 2023 with Spokane Sports to utilize $300,000
in TPA-generated revenue for sports recruitment and marketing. Under the contract, Spokane
Sports is collaborating with the City staff to research and plan for a 2-kilometer cross country
course on 46.13 acres of city-owned park property and 15.98 acres of adjacent Washington State
Parks-owned property at Flora Road on the north side of the Spokane River.
The proposed course would host local, regional and national cross country events, generating
tourism and visitors to the City. Spokane Sports has been tasked with providing facility
consultation, optimization and technical assistance to City staff as they embark on efforts to
develop a course. In recent months, Spokane Sports staff have visited cross country courses in
the United States and internationally to research successful designs and facilities. Spokane
Sports has also met with local and national high school and college level coaches to identify best
practices and solicit recommendations.
City staff have begun discussions with Washington State Parks to secure access to the state-
owned land adjacent to the City’s acreage at the Flora Park site. At this time, these discussions
are preliminary, but have been very positive and staff are confident they can develop a
cooperative agreement that will allow access to the state land.
Currently, City staff are in the early stages of working with Kimley-Horn, an engineering planning
consultant, to design a course route and additional facilities such as a clubhouse, multiple
restrooms, drop off and parking spaces, and other helpful infrastructure at the site. Kimley-Horn
will also complete an economic impact analysis based on the proposed course design, which
should be completed later this year.
A preliminary analysis by Kimley-Horn, reviewed by city engineers, has placed the cost of a course
buildout and associated facilities on the property at approximately $7 million. A more detailed cost
estimate will be provided with the final conceptual design.
The cross country course at Flora Park is intended to host events for Youth, Middle School, High
School, Collegiate, Post-Collegiate and Masters Athletes. This course will not only host premier
events, but also serve the greater community through programming, clinics, and practice
opportunities. Spokane Sports and City staff are excited to get the project moving forward to
provide a key tourism asset to grow and attract new sports tourism events in the City. Staff is
committed to working with Kimely-Horn and Spokane Sports to identify a phased approach with
the goal of holding cross country events on the Flora Park site in 2025.
To move this project forward, City Staff are seeking authorization to submit an LTAC application,
in partnership with Spokane Sports, for a $4.4 million lodging tax grant award from the Lodging
Tax Facilities Fund #104 to partially fund construction of a cross country course at Flora Park.
This application would be submitted through the annual Lodging Tax Grant Application process.
Applications are due by 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 29.
Moving this project forward will allow the city to meet the stipulations of the 2020 Washington
Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP) $1 million acquisition grant where it states that
development on the Flora site must occur within 5-years of the acquisition as required by
Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) policy. Staff will continue to seek additional funding to
bridge the $2.6 million dollar gap for the estimated $7 million needed to construct the course and
supporting features. Staff believes that a functioning course can be constructed with the
requested LTAC application with additional amenities being added as supplemental funding is
secured.
OPTIONS: Move to authorize city staff to submit a 2024 Lodging Tax Grant Application, in
partnership with Spokane Sports, for $4.4 million from the Lodging Tax Facilities Fund #104 to
partially fund construction a cross country course or take other action as deemed appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize city staff to submit a 2024 Lodging
Tax Grant Application, in partnership with Spokane Sports, for $4.4 million from the Lodging Tax
Facilities Fund #104 to partially fund construction a cross country course.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: In 2023 the 2% portion of the lodging tax is currently budgeted
at $900,000 and the 1.3% portion at $600,000. In past years, revenues from the 1.3% portion
have been placed in the Tourism Facilities Fund #104, which is estimated to have approximately
$4.4 million in fund balance at the end of 2023.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Outside Agency Funding Requests
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: This is a component of the annual budget development process.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: On March 21, 2023, Council reached consensus to
increase the dollar amount of the available funding to a total of $200,000. Council’s further
consensus was to split the available funding into two categories with separate consideration:
$100,000 for Economic Development and $100,000 for Social Services awards.
BACKGROUND: Since its incorporation in 2003, the City has provided partial funding for local
economic development and social service agencies. Through this process, the City is contracting for
services that it might otherwise provide. These services include economic development and support
of the poor and infirm (as allowed by the Washington State Constitution Article 8, Section 7).
This partial funding of outside agencies is again up for consideration in the 2024 budget development
process. For the past several years, the City has allocated $182,000 through the outside agency
grant process. On March 21, 2023, Council reached consensus to increase the dollar amount of the
available funding to a total of $200,000. Council also decided to split the outside agency awards into
two separate categories, Economic Development and Social Services, and differentiate the funding
for them. Consensus was to allocate $100,000 for awards in each of the categories.
Beginning this year, grant proposals were received electronically through the City’s website and an
online submission. A Notice of Funding Availability – Guidelines and Instructions document was
available for applicants with specific instructions and requirements for submitting the proposal.
Applicants were required to identify which category of funding they were applying under, and
proposals were segregated into two separate sections for Council consideration. All eligible
proposals along with some informational and related material were then distributed to Council in
advance for review and consideration.
The City has received proposals from 19 agencies for a funding request total of $557,864. These
include eight Economic Development applications totaling $235,000, and eleven Social Services
applications which total $322,864.
This evening, each agency has been invited to make a five-minute presentation to highlight their
proposal. This gives Council the opportunity to ask questions, allowing the applicant to explain any
items within the proposal that need clarification prior to Council making their final allocation.
Agencies submitting 2024 funding requests are as follows:

Grand Total of Funding Requested - both categories$557,864
This matter is set for a motion consideration at the October 24, 2023, Council meeting.
OPTIONS: Staff will employ essentially the same methodology to award funds as was used during
the grant processes for the years of 2013 through 2023. One change to note, each of the two funding
categories will be voted for and calculated separately according to the process below. The grant
proposal and funding process includes:
1. Agencies interested in receiving City funds for either social service or economic development
purposes will submit application materials and make a verbal presentation to the City Council.
2. Within the binders distributed to Council, there are two summary charts of the funding requests
to be used as an allocation worksheet. These are directly in front of the tabbed proposals and
numbered according to the corresponding tab. Finance staff will email Council an electronic
version of this worksheet for those who prefer this method of filling in the allocations.
3. Councilmembers will deliver their recommendations to Finance for how much funding each
agency should be awarded. Council may use either the electronic version or hand-enter and
return to Finance.
4. The total of the award amounts recommended by each Councilmember should equal the
$200,000 included in the budget, split into $100,000 for each category.
2
5. Staff will prepare a summary of Councilmember recommendations that includes both the number
of Council votes received by each agency and the average of the seven award
recommendations.
6. Agencies that receive four or more Council votes will be awarded the average of the Council
recommendations.
7. Agencies that receive fewer than four votes will not be considered for funding in that funding
cycle because they would not have received at least a majority of Council votes.
8. Any Council awards recommended to agencies that receive three or fewer Council votes will be
added together and distributed evenly among those agencies that received seven Council votes.
The distribution will be a simple arithmetic average of the total amount remaining to be awarded,
divided by the number of agencies receiving seven votes.
9. In no event will any agency receive an allocation greater than their initial request. If the
distribution referenced in #6 above were to cause an agency to receive an allocation greater than
their initial request, that portion that would be greater than the request shall be divided equally
among the other agencies receiving seven Council votes.
10. If the distribution process in steps #6 and #7 above causes all the seven vote agencies to exceed
their requests, then any remainder shall be divided equally among the other agencies receiving
five and six Council votes.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Staff requests that Councilmembers submit their funding
th
recommendations to Finance no later than 4pm on Thursday, October 12, after which staff will
th
present combined information and allocation averages at the October 24Council meeting. At that
point Council will make their final funding allocation determination.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: $200,000 is included in the 2024 Budget for this purpose.

City of Spokane Valley
Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA)
2024 Outside AgencyEconomic Development and
Social Services Grants
The Spokane Valley City Council has historically included funds in theannualbudget to contract
with organizations to support economic development activities and social service efforts that
directly benefit the citizens of Spokane Valley. The City is currently seeking proposals from
qualified non-profit agencies for funding in our 2024 budget. There are two categories being
considered under this funding opportunity: (1) Economic Development, and (2) Social Services.
Proposals must clearly identify which category the request is under and need only comply with
the scope for that category. For the 2024 grant funding, the City Council has allocated a total of
$200,000 with $100,000 available in each category for separate consideration.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Eligible applicants are non-profit organizations that have received 501(c)(3) or (6) federal tax-
exempt status from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and are registered as a non-profit
corporation in the State of Washington. Agencies will be required to provide an IRS letter of
determination or certificate showing proof of current qualifying status.
Only online submissions will be accepted (see page 3 for details). All required sections and
attachments must be completed to be considered for funding. Proposals are due by Friday,
August 11, 2023, by 4 p.m.
Grant funds should not be used to fund capital assets such as buildings and vehicles to avoid
questions relating to insurance and liability.
Funding is distributed on a reimbursement basis. Grant recipients shall be reimbursed for
documented costs, as outlined in the proposal, up to the amount awarded.
The applying organization will be required to deliver an in-person presentation highlighting their
proposal to the Spokane Valley City Council on September 19, 2023 at 6:00 p.m.
Both an organizational budget and project/program budget are required submissions. This
allows for an overall review of the organizational financial stability, credibility, and where the
dollars will be directed. Additionally, financial review also factors in the total budget for the
organization in relation to how much is being requested for funding. While proposalsmay have
technical and programmatic quality, the budget also should be well-documented and reflect the
requirements of the project or program.
SCHEDULE OF GRANT CYCLE
Project/Program Management and Grant Administration:
The City of Spokane Valley Finance Department will oversee and manage the grant program,
approve, and reimburse expenses, and monitor contract compliance and post grant reporting.
Selection Process:
Each application will be reviewed by the Finance Department to ensure all required portions of
the application are included and that the applicant is an eligible entity. All complete applications
from eligible entities will be provided to City Council for determination of award. All applicants are
expected to make an oral presentation to City Council. This allows the applicant to better explain
their program, as well as affords Council the ability to better understand the proposed project or
services. Council will decide at a later meeting, based on a methodology of their choosing, the
amounts of each award. Upon finalization of the awards, each applicant will be notified of their
awarded amount. Staff will then consult with applicants of approved projects to develop contracts
and finalize the scope of work.
The following is a proposed schedule for the 2024 grant cycle (Note: specific dates may be
adjusted by the City to meet unexpected circumstances):
Notice placed in newspaperand media and grant package available July 14, 2023

Brief description of project as provided by each organization in the application ICSVPAC will be holding its last external event in Spring 2024 before the opening of the new facility
(which has its own Event Space). Previous annual events have been held at Barrister, Arbor Crest, Beacon Hill and even a Coeur d'Alene Cruise. To honor the City of Spokane Valley for
all its support, we'd like to hold this final Season Preview of the Grand Opening and 24/25 Season offerings, in the Grand Ballroom at Centerplace Regional Event Center on Wednesday,
April 17th. 2024 from 5-9 pm for approximately 250 donors/patrons/supporters. This is an evening of live music and sit down dinner to showcase the newest arts & culture gem in the
region! ICSVPAC seeks grant fees to cover event space rental and other associated fees (i.e. equipment or AV rental) for the event up to $10,000 (catering not to be included). In exchange,
ICSVPAC would like to list City of Spokane Valley as an Event Sponsor.JAKT Foundation desires to execute and follow our vision and mission statement by continuing the work of Crave!,
the largest celebration of food. The Spokane Valley economic office and lodging tax provided the financial backing to establish this event. Your continued, and first-time commitment
from this economic fund, will allow the event to maintain and focus growth into outlying markets with a dedicated employee who will facilitate working on making this happen through
partnerships with local lodging and expanded digital efforts given packages are created to promote. The economic impact of Crave! goes far beyond basic numbers but provides the Spokane
Valley Chamber, Visit Spokane, Spokane Valley TPA efforts and City of Spokane Valley perception, community pride and regional awareness, of the best food event in the Inland Northwest.JAKT
Foundation desires to execute and follow our vision and mission statement by continuing the work of the Spokane Valley Farmers Market. Locally grown food supports the local economy.
Supporting local farmers means supporting the local economy, which is major for any city. Money that is spent with local farmers and growers stays close to home and is reinvested with
business and services within the community. It creates a cycle of local support! This project would provide no-cost training and consulting services for anyone residing in the City
of Spokane Valley interested in starting or expanding a small business. We anticipate that the project will generate significant demand for SFA services, so the grant would also enable
us to expand our capacity and host new events & class offerings at City of Spokane Valley venues like CenterPlace and the Spokane Valley Library. Project participants will also receive
tickets to our Women's Business Center Entrepreneurial Summit to be held in the City of Spokane Valley at the new Arts and Cultural Center in July 2024.#1: SOUL MATES MARBLE SCULPTURE;

Funding Category: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Brief description of project as provided by each organization in the application With completion of the ICSVPAC facility in Summer 2024, SVST (the operational arm) will take a huge leap
forward from the 2022-23 summer only fiscal year, to 2023-24 where we open the building to year-round operations. Our Associate Artistic Director and Executive Artistic Director have
done significant research on the types of equipment in which we will need to invest. This is for professional productions on two stages, and for Conservatory education (for students
in grades 2-12). SVST seeks grant assistance from the City of Spokane Valley for these startup equipment costs.We are seeking a grant of $15,000 to support our workforce development
initiatives aimed at serving individuals in Spokane Valley. This funding will enable us to expand our out-reach, enhance engagement with Spokane Valley residents, and provide essential
resources through the establishment of virtual kiosks at strategic locations. This will facilitate successful job placements, promote industry engagement, and foster inclusivity. Our
project falls squarely under the category of Economic Development, as it directly contributes to creating a skilled workforce, connecting job seekers with employment opportunities,
and bolstering Spokane Valley's economic growth.
The Digital Archives Project is an ongoing effort to preserve and make accessible the archives collection of the Spokane Valley Heritage Museum to the community, visitors and family
research travelers. The Museum's collection includes over 13,000 historic photos and over 8,000 archival records, the Spokane Valley Herald, maps, oral histories, directories, phone

Christ Kitchen is seeking funding that will allow us to support our graduates who wish to continue their education in the Spokane Community Colleges Culinary Arts program. Providing
a scholarship fund they can access for tuition, books and equipment will be an extension of their learning experience at Christ Kitchen and will set them up for success and sustainable
employment.Elevations' Therapy Grants Program provides financial assistance to families of children with special needs to pay out-of-pocket costs for speech, occupational, physical,
and other therapy services as well as equipment to be used at home. Families can apply up to three times per year to help with co-pays, deductibles, therapy services and equipment not
covered by insurance.Provide home delivered meals and congregate site meals for seniors in the City of Spokane Valley. Inland Chess Academy mission is to conduct before and after school
chess clubs in elementary schools for students and parents. This is a parent paid program now in its 14th year operating in the greater Spokane region. This past school year the Academy
clubs in over 30 schools. The academy trains coaches who complete professional certification. This grant will provide for eight Title 1 schools to have the program free of charge to
the parents.Joya Child & Family Development (formerly named the Spokane Guild School) is requesting one-time funding to purchase specialized hearing screeners for use on infants and
toddlers with suspected developmental delays and disabilities. These new devices would replace our outdated hearing screeners and would allow us to better provide accurate hearing screening
to children for years to come. These screenings are essential in catching any abnormalities as early as possible to provide the most opportunity for early intervention. NAOMI Community
provides relationship-first services to women who are healing from trauma, substance abuse, & harmful relationships. We are a grace-filled community for women to pursue healing and
growth. Women are given the space and relational support to heal trauma that has resulted in unsafe relationships and addiction. Through this relational support and healing, women are
able to make different choices that will allow her and her family to thrive. Our proposal seeks to substantially expand SNAPs presence in the City of Spokane Valley (COSV), increasing
access to critical intervention services for individuals experiencing homelessness.

are available to your constituents who fall within poverty thresholds and are experiencing crisis. This year you provided $4 million to help us purchase our new expanded facility (Ziggys)
because of how our mission has grown over the past 5 years. We could really use an increase in the annual support you provide for our operational mission for the same reason. The way
the needs have increased over the course of this year, we anticipate needing at least 35% more resources in 2024. Our deliverables have more than doubled over the past 3 years.Teen
& Kid Closet is requesting help for our "2024 New Shoes" program. Our goal with this initiative is to make sure the children and youth in need in Spokane Valley have at least one pair
of brand new shoes this year. We anticipate we will serve 1,200 kids in the valley in 2024. We expect each pair of shoes will cost us around $20. We are asking for help with partial
funding for this, as we will also fundraise for the rest of the cost.The Widows Fund project was established by the Board of Trustees of Widows Might to assist the more than 3,400 widows

City of Spokane Valley Economic Development Grant Grant Project Summary
Project Summary
In 2024, the ICSVPAC Capital Campaign will be in year four of a five-year capital
campaign which runs through Dec. 31, 2025. However, construction is on schedule to be
completed mid-year (June 2024), allowing SVST to assume occupancy of the facility and begin
programming in Summer 2024, and then annually beginning in Fall 2024.
Traditionally, SVST has held a large Spring donor event to act as both a fundraiser for
construction, but also to serve as a season preview of SVST productions and music to be
produced in the summer season (in 2024, this will be the Grand Opening production and
subsequent productions on multiple stages beginning Fall 2024). This event is often
underwritten by supportive local donors or businesses.
ICSVPAC approached CenterPlace and John Bottelli (Parks Department) regarding the
possibility of the City of Spokane Valley serving as event sponsor by waiving room rental fees
and other associated costs. As a Municipal Government entity, this is not possible. However,
he did suggest that it may be an appropriate use of Economic Development Grant funds.
If granted the funds for the event space at Centerplace, ICSVPAC would be happy to list
City of Spokane Valley on all promotional materials. These events are not only entertaining
ways of bringing the local and regional community together to support the arts, but they are
instrumental in raising the remaining funds to complete the project.

Scope of Work
A. What we wish to do
ICSVPAC hopes to secure a minor grant of $10,000 to assist with our final off-site
Season Preview and Donor event to benefit the construction of the ICSVPAC. Event to be held
April 17, 2024 at Centerplace Regional Event Center, 5-9 pm, and will include local dignitaries,
businesspeople, families, foundations and private donors.
B. How the Community will benefit:
The City of Spokane Valley, The Inland Northwest Region, and the rural communities
surrounding Spokane County benefit from the ICSVPAC facility in four major ways:
Education and Youth Development - The Conservatory theatre education program currently
serves over 150 students (and growing), grades 2-12, in the summer. A year-round facility
would allow us to provide 700+ with high quality theatre education delivered by experienced
faculty. The Conservatory prepares students to step into their perspective career field with the
appropriate resources, fundamental tools, and decision-making abilities to continue their
interests and passions on their own during the school year. Through routine practice of physical
and mental discipline, theatre students develop an awareness as they learn from each other's
strengths and weaknesses while setting aside differences and learning by example to come
together to achieve a common goal.
Health and Wellbeing - "The object of art is to give life shape." - William Shakespeare. After
months of isolation, it is easy to see how a regionally central performing arts patrons will deliver
a sense of togetherness and storytelling to the community. It is soul-fulfilling in a way that no
other medium can be. For most people, the performing arts achieves a certain stillness in the
midst of a chaotic world. At the deepest level, the creative process and the healing process
arise from a single source...our artists can serve as healers.
Economic Impact - The national statistic we like to quote is that for every $1 spent on theatre
tickets, $33 is pumped back into the local economy (from clothing, babysitting, pre-show meals,
concessions, parking, etc.). ICSVPAC, opening June 2024, will begin generating revenue asap,
including professional productions on multiple stages.
Quality of Life/Social Connections - "Music and arts make a bridge across the world in a way
that nothing else can", Julie Andrews. Besides the obvious physical aspect of being able to
gather, which is particularly important for children, families and senior citizens, live theatre
represents and reveals a world of ideas. Art moves beyond the transmission model of education
into the space of inquiry and dialog. Theatre is an act of faith, in which a bunch of strangers
gather in a shared space, the lights go down, and we all dream the same dream. Anyone who
says you cannot see a thought, has never attended live theatre!
C. Beginning and End Dates
April 17, 2024 (Wednesday evening), 5-9 pm.
D. and E. Seasonal Activity and weather-related constraints
None

Metrics
Metrics are fairly straightforward. Success will be measured in attendance at the event,
and continued donation to the capital campaign, which will help make the ICSVPAC a reality.
Waiving the room rental and associated fees allows ICSVPAC to put those savings towards
construction costs. We hope the City of Spokane Valley will continue to be a valued partner, and
we hope to acknowledge that support in perpetuity in the new building!

Old Business:
Fundraising (Marnie & Georgia):
Since the January meeting, ArtsFund and the Paul G. Allen Family Fund awarded $22,500 to the
ICSVPAC Project, and the State of Washington 2023 Legislative budget awarded two grants:
$1.85M from Building for the Arts (BFA), and $1.18M from Youth Recreational Facilities
(YRF) toward the Capital Project
New Grant opportunities include New Market Tax Credits (NMTC), the Charlotte Y. Martin
Foundation, the Murdock Foundation, the Marie Lamfrom Foundation, BNSF, Bank of America,
Verizon, Comcast, U.S. Bank, Spokane Arts, The Biller Family Foundation, NEA, Groban Find
Your Light Foundation. $1.2M remains in outstanding asks at the moment (already
appliedawaiting an answer). In late summer, the City of Spokane Valley Economic
Development and Lodging & Tax (LTAC) grants will open for applicationICSVPAC will seek
funding for the 2024 Season Preview and Donor Dinner.
Georgia gave an update of all the civic groups to whom she has presented: Rotary 21, Kiwanis,
etc. She shared that Avista and Windermere have deferred their gifts/naming opportunities until
the end of the year.
Georgia reminded that there has been quite a bit of inquiry regarding the Donor Wall and what is
required to be included. She estimates safely that a gift of $500,000 (maybe $400k) would
secure a spot on the Wall. However, those commitments must be made (at least a pledge) by
Dec. 31, 2023. The donors can pay over the next 3 years (2023, 2024 and 2025), but since the
Wall will be constructed and installed in early 2024, the commitment must come in 2023. She
anticipates there might be a bidding war for the last few spots on the wall.
Georgia and Marnie are working on several corporate donors who give a foundation or
community grant gift to the project first, but will agree to a larger amount later (in addition to
and including that first philanthropic grant) to secure a spot on the Donor Wall.
New Business:
Building & Design Committee:
Construction Cam is up and running. It is linked to our website at icsvpac.com. It takes a still
photo every 3 minutes, and has a weekly timelapse.
Footings are poured and you can see the outline of the building, plus entrances, lobby spaces,
elevator shafts, etc. Crane is on site.
We send out weekly Owners Meeting Minutes (the weekly meeting between senior leadership
and Garco) to our Board/AC members each week (and the SBNW leadership). This is to keep
everyone apprised of the project, but please keep the minutes confidential (no forwarding!).
Please dont lose the hard hats from groundbreaking. Those are construction grade helmets, and
you need them anytime you visit the landsite (including a reflective vest and closed-toed boots).
There will be a Topping Off Party sometime this summer, which is where we all sign the final
beam and its lifted into place. The date is TBD, but please be aware of this upcoming event.
Vince DeFelice is working with Yvonne on the final design of the Beacon of Light sculpture
and matching ghost lights. The outdoor arts piece will be 11 tall on a 2.5 base. It will no longer
be a fountain, but that could be added later.
Special (and confidential) announcement! Dr. Andrea Olsen will be joining the staff of
ICSVPAC in March 2024 as the Associate Artistic Director. Welcome Andrea!

As a community, our personal, artistic,
spiritual and emotional needs to come
feels like a fractured society has never
been higher. A performing arts center of
this magnitude is a cornerstone to the
foundation and identityof all thriving
cities. When we look throughout history,
the arts have always been pivotal to the
formation of community and its culture.
Of all the arts, theatre mirrors society most
its people. ICSVPAC is a legacy project
that will serve as a beacon of light and
hope for all. It will become the heart of the
city of Spokane Valley and our region for
generations to come.
Historically, arts and cultureare
proven catalysts for growth and economic
prosperity in any region. By creating
tourists, and attract investment. Not
only do the arts provide a much needed
social escape and infusion of purpose for
many in our region from youth through
the end of life, they also help drive local
economies. Having an abundance of
unique arts experiences and community-
centered events means more revenue for
local businesses both large and small. It
also makes communities more attractive
to talented professionals whose decisions
on where to start a career or business, and
begin a family are increasingly driven by
the quality of life and the availability of
cultural amenities.
Our region has always embraced the
extraordinary quality of performances in
our area, and it’s time to take the next step
and progressto the next level that enriches
all residents and encourages us to lead
more meaningful, connected, cultured and

III. PROJECT SUMMARY
JAKT Foundation desires to execute and follow our vision and mission statement by continuing
the work of /ƩğǝĻͧ, the largest celebration of food. The Spokane economic office and
lodging tax provided the financial backing to establish this event. Your continued, and first-
time commitment from this economic fund, will allow the event to maintain and focus growth
into outlying markets with a dedicated employee who will facilitate working on making this
happen through partnerships with local lodging and expanded digital efforts given packages are
created to promote. The economic impact of /ƩğǝĻͧ goes far beyond basic numbers but
provides the Spokane Valley Chamber, Visit Spokane, Spokane Valley TPA efforts and City of
Spokane Valley perception, community pride and regional awareness, of the best food event in
the Inland Northwest.
This is an economic development project.
The best regional food event drives positive awareness and traffic to Spokane Valley. This
visible reminder only emphasizes the changing culture and economic development objectives of
Spokane Valley.
IV. SCOPE OF WORK

and work prior to the event. This specific need will allow JAKT to take the next steps and increase the
destination element of the audience while complimenting the overall event experience.
b. How and why the community will benefit? JAKT Foundation’s charge is to build community. We
focus on two areas. One to highlight local farmers, artisans, and musicians while creating a vibrant and
fun market and give local businesses an economic outlet and interact with their community. Two, build
events in Spokane Valley the community can take pride in and support while also creating a destination
event with Spokane Valley as the center.
c. What are the beginning and ending dates of your project? Crave 2024 will be held July 11 to July 13,
2024.
d. Is it a seasonal activity appropriate to its location? JAKT Foundation is working with Spokane Valley
CenterPlace to highlight the assets of this beautiful location and design events to fit what the venue
offers.
e. If an outdoor activity, are there any weather-related constraints? This event happens rain or shine.
If rain were in the forecast additional tents would be set up.
f. Brief history of event or organization. JAKT Foundation, founded in 2017, was established to create
community events that enhanced a community perception internally and externally by creating events
of interest to all citizens of the Northwest while building Spokane Valley event assets specifically for the
local community.
VI. METRICS coordinator
What are the specific goals for the use of the grant funds?To underwrite costs of hiring a full-time
event manager.
How do you measure the successful use of your grant funds? Are we building community? Are we
building economic impact of those participating? Is the feedback from the community positive? Can we
adjust and get better within budget constraints?
What specific impact will the grant funds have on your program? It ensures our continued work,
improving the quality of the event, maintain growing a positive perception – internally and externally –
of the City of Spokane Valley.
What methodology will you use to determine if you met your goals?
1. Fiscally it will be simple to look at the budget and determine did we end in the black or red.
2. We will survey attendees so we can be responsive to desires for all events.
3. Combine the objective results shared in our wrap up report to Spokane Valley City Council and
administration subjective perceptions for final results and return on investment of these
valuable funds.

Project Summary SVFM
JAKT Foundation desires to execute and follow our vision and mission statement by
continuing the work of the Spokane Valley Farmers Market. Locally grown food supports the
local economy. Supporting local farmers means supporting the local economy, which is
major for any city. Money that is spent with local farmers and growers stays close to home
and is reinvested with business and services within the community. It creates a cycle of local
support!

properly by a trained staff member.

5. Scope of Work:
The City of Spokane Valley Microenterprise Project (CoSVMP) period of
performance is January 1, 2024 -December 31, 2024, and will not be weather
dependent. If inclement weather is expected, SFA has the option to conduct
training and technical assistance virtually.
The CoSVMP will provide premium training and consultation free of charge that
leads to business success for entrepreneurs living in the City of Spokane Valley.
SFA is an experienced, well-regarded provider of training and technical assistance
for microbusinesses with fewer than 50 employees throughout the region. SFA’s
unique value proposition is a potent combination of training and technical
assistance paired with access to capital via SFA’s multiple loan funds, including an
SBA microloan fund that comes withan additional layer of advanced technical
assistance in accounting and marketing to increase the viability

Income generation supports a tax base, the ability to purchase goods and services

Small businesses not only benefit individual clients; according to the SBA, small
businesses account for 64% of all new jobs created in the country. In 2021,
Washington state was home to 647,639 small businesses that employed 1.4 million
workers – more than half the state’s private-sector workforce.

A modest allocation for a consultant is also included in this proposal in the event a
website challenge may require an expert outside of our internal areas of expertise.
Black/Indigenous/Persons of Color (BIPOC)Engagement:
Our team is committed to increasing the diversity of our clientele. From 2018 to
date, BIPOC participation doubled from 18 % to just under 38% of those we serve in
our WBC program.
During the project period, our team will locate one “Solution Group” cohort in the
City of Spokane Valley for BIPOC business owners seeking support and training as
they bring common challenges to small business ownership and seek the support
of a cohort group.
Networking and Outreach Activities:
To raise the visibility of the CoSVMP our team will participate in the Non-
quarter in the City of Spokane Valley, locate our Women’s Entrepreneurial Summit
in the City of Spokane Valley in July 2024 and use zip code targeted social media

Review of Action Items
Save the Date Cards: Russell said we can send the Save the Date Card as is or get
updated art and then send it out. He suggested updating it with this year’s art and
sending to the mailing list and prepare a more generic version to print quickly for
CRAVE. Russell said Deidre can coordinate with Brenna on the printing.
It was decided that the CRAVE printing would be done locally at Staples and Marc or
Gail would pick them up. Russell and Deidre will send the file to Staples. Russell and
Deidre will print the postcards in Seattle with a cost of about $200 for 600 postcards.
CRAVE Signage: Russell or Deidre will send the poster file to Staples for CRAVE and
the art walk and Marc will pick up the posters when they are ready. (Later in the meeting
Russell said he sent the poster file to Brenna and she’ll have three or four ready for
CRAVE.)
Contract for auction – Marc just needs to add bar service.
Repairing display cases at CenterPlace: Virginia to contact Nicole at CenterPlace.
Discussion on Murals and Meeting with SCLD
Dick stated he met with Pat, Director of the Spokane County Library District, about putting a
mural on the new library facing Sprague Avenue. He said the District is cognizant of what it
looks like from Sprague, and it was noted the lackluster appearance was due to the cost.
Dick stated he explained the SVAC’s mural idea and Pat was positive about it. Dick said the
District’s board meeting is next week and he asked PJay to get more information about murals
to provide for their meeting. She said research would need to be done to see what could be
done on metal.
Discussion ensued about the process and next steps should the Library District Board want to
move forward. Russell suggested getting four artists to jury in and then present options to the
city for approval and ensuring codes are met before proceeding with the mural plan. He added
that they should try and submit by the grant deadline in August.
Russell stated that Don Brown of Tri-Cities does murals and there are others in CDA. He
proposed setting up the juried art with specific steps and a price point. Russell suggested
adding $4,000-$5,000 to advertise for next year’s event because while Brenna does design and
images, there is a need for someone to take care of media ads, news releases, etc.
MOTION
Russell moved to get a list of artists and an idea of the costs for the grant. Marc seconded the
motion and amended it to include council permission to apply for the 2024 Economic Development
grant and costs for maintenance and advertising per their previous discussion. Russell approved
the friendly amendment and the amended motion passed unanimously.
Update on Potential Tax Assessment for the Arts
Dick said he contacted Karen Mobley and Melissa at Spokane Arts in follow up to the
information received from Peggy Doering (from June meeting). Karen gave him Melissa
Higgins’ name and Dick left voicemails for her. Gail said they have an opening for a new

director and Melissa is no longer there. Dick said he also wanted to find out if there was code
language Spokane used that could be added to the Spokane Valley mural code.
Spokane Valley Farmers Market 4-8 pm July 7 and repeats August 4
Gail reminded everyone about the Farmers Market that afternoon and said she would work at
the booth. She asked if anyone would come and give her a break during the day.
Gail reported that they ended up with only two booths sold due to late notice, and the third
vendor broke a canopy the previous weekend and cannot attend due to the heat. She added
there were six already confirmed for the August 4 market.
PJay said she had easels and a canopy and was available to work at the August market.
CRAVE
Gail said set up for CRAVE is on July 12, after 10:00 a.m. so she asked everyone to meet at
that time. She asked how big the large pieces are. Russell said they need three tables and Gail
said stands are better because people put their food and drinks on the tables and walk away.
Russell said there are tabletop easels and lights at Kelsi’s. It was determined they need 3 longer
crossbars (24 inches), 6 tabletop easels, 15 lights, extension cords and power strips.
Kelsi said she would gather this equipment and deliver to CenterPlace at 10:00 am on
Wednesday. Marc said he will go to Jay’s and pick up the artwork there.
Gail asked about preparing cards to display at CRAVE next to the art with the artists’
information, size of the piece, list and retail prices. Russell responded he would get the
information by Tuesday and send it to Gail. Gail said she or Marc would pick up cards at
Staples. It was also noted that CRAVE would be a good opportunity to give away the trifold
brochures.
Gail said she and PJay are working at CRAVE and said CRAVE requested the art stay at the
afterparty event as a highlight. She stated it would be great to have more board members
there, so Russell asked her to send that information out to the board.
MOTION
Russell moved to reimburse the $15 fee for any board members attending the afterparty on
Saturday from 9-11pm, seconded by Gail. The motion passed unanimously.
Dick and Temira volunteered to help with tear down on Sunday and Gail will let them know what
time.
Gail stated there is a Labor Day Symphony concert at Comstock Park (South Hill) was just
announced this week and said she would let everyone know if they allow a Season Arts Preview
booths this year.
Location for artists to ship and/or drop off their art
Russell said Jim is downsizing to a smaller home in a retirement community so there was a
need for a place for artists to either drop off or send their art.
Dick said he contacted Holly and she said we could ship to her gallery (only during business
hours) but then someone would need to consolidate the art in one place each week. It was

DRAFT - amended 8/7/23
suggested there be a separate mailing and drop-off location and the storage area needed is
about the size of a car. Discussion ensued about renting a storage unit.
MOTION
Russell moved to pay $70 per month to store the art from now through November and use Holly
for drop offs with board members picking up and storing. Kelsi seconded the motion and it
carried unanimously.
There was consensus to give Holly a free ad for her help.
Website Update
Russell asked everyone to look at the website, check links within the next week and se nd
feedback to him. He would then compile one list for Brenna to update.
Gail asked if there would be a “pay now” option for artists booths at farmers market. Russell
said add that to your list for him to provide to Brenna. He said they would have a “become a
member” link too.
Debit Card
Russell said there was a need for Deidre to get a debit card to set up autopay for ongoing costs
such as the website.
MOTION
Russell moved for Deidre to set up a debit card for ongoing costs and Marc seconded the
motion. The motion was approved unanimously. Deidre said she and Marc are on the account
now.
Need Advertising and Media Champion
Russell asked Temira and her husband to explore what publications we could advertise in
including new publications to ensure we find different buyers and audiences for our show.
Dick asked Virginia to contact Lesli at the city for a list of publications and she volunteered to
draft a news release the Arts Council could send to those publications.
Other Business
Russell asked Gail to contact Rob and have him provide an update on the scholarships.
Gail said he will advertise scholarships to the colleges when school begins in
September, with the board jurying art in October and finalists included in the November
Auction. Gail said at the last meeting we voted to transfer money to bring the scholarship
balance to $1,000 from the General Fund and Marc is checking with old Quarry Tile for a
$1,000 Lynn Baiter Scholarship.
Dick asked if anyone met with Idaho Central Credit Union and Marc said he has spoken
to the head of community relations downtown. Gail said she and Rob are working on the
scholarship program with an application deadline at the end of September and a
decision in October.
Russell asked where we are at on silent auction items. PJay and Marc will provide a report
on silent auction items in August and the board needs everyone to drum up donations.

Gail asked who has admin password for LinkedIn. She said she’s the administrator on the
old one, but she needs access to the new one because it has more followers. Marc said
he would talk to Liz. Kelsi said she would ramp up social media on upcoming events.
Dick asked about sharing Art Chowder’s article on Joey. Kelsi said if it’s online, she can
share on social media. Russell said if members find links to just send them to Kelsi. Don’t
make her look for them because it’s important to share those out in a timely manner
PJay asked Dick how the Huckleberry interview went. He said he met with them but there
were technical difficulties with the sound so they will need to do it over.
Virginia said she and Dick met with CenterPlace staff and confirmed the following dates

Joey Marcellahasearned the reputation of leading a double life in the world of marble. The
president of Mario & Sons, a natural stone fabricator in Liberty Lake, WA, he is outstandingwhen
it comes to all things stone for residential, commercial and religious buildings sectors. But that’s
all business. What we really want to know is how he has the ability to create the sensation of
romance from carved curves of stone. In 2018, Joey was awarded the prestigious Grande Pinnacle
Award, the first time the award was given to a single piece of art. Carved from Carrara marble,
Aura, pictured here, took sixteen months to execute and left the jurors questioning “that was done
in stone?”
Today, Joey is ready to break the boundaries again with his new sculpture Soulmates, combining
the latest in state-of-the-art stone-working technology with traditional hand-carving techniques.
This will be his most ambitious project to date.
Soulmates will be intricately carved from two raw blocks of marble, a white Bianco Carrara with
subtle grey veining, sourced from the same quarry as Michelangelo’s David, and a blackish-gray
Grigio Carnico marble with white veins. The two are mirror opposites. Joey’s inspiration for the
sculpture is based on a quote from the late Italian writer and actor Luciano De Crescenzo: “We
are, each of us, angels with only one wing. Only by embracing each other are we able to fly...”.
Deeper meaning continues through the entire piece, from the use of acanthus leaves that symbolize
enduring life in Mediterranean culture, to the wings that represent angels dancing together between
life (white) and death (black). Embracing each other, their bond enduring forever, they are true
Soulmates.

This sculpture is my interpretation of the following Indian legend: One day a warrior
arrived by canoe at the shore of a village wherein lived a beautiful maiden. Over time the
warrior courted the maiden, and eventually persuaded her to marry him. After their
marriage ceremony, the village sent the newlyweds off in a new canoe. Shortly after
reaching deep water, the warrior dove over the side of the canoe and turned into an
otter. The maiden followed, but retained her form. From that moment on she became an
underwater princess, swimming with the otters. This sculpture won the "People's Choice,
Best Sculpture" award at the 2005 CM Russell show; Great Falls, MT.

Spokane Valley Summer Theatre
City of Spokane Valley Economic Development Grant
Project Summary
With completion of the ICSVPAC facility in Summer 2024, SVST (the operational arm)
will take a huge leap forward from the 2022-23 summer only fiscal year, to 2023-24 where we
open the building to year-round operations. Our Associate Artistic Director, Dr. Andrea Olsen,
Music Director, David Brewster, and Executive Artistic Director have done significant research
on the types of equipment in which we will need to invest. This is for professional productions
on two stages, and for Conservatory education (for students in grades 2-12). SVST seeks grant
assistance from the City of Spokane Valley for these startup equipment costs.
When and wherever possible, SVST plans on supporting Valley based vendors and
suppliers for these needs. This includes outfitting the following areas with the proper equipment
for production and education: The Main Stage Orchestra Pit, the Main Stage, The
Studio/Blackbox theatre space (for productions and Conservatory education), the
Practice/Rehearsal Room, the Recording Studio and three other music classrooms for local
music practitioners to give lessons, Grand Lobby and Event Center. Specific equipment needs
are listed on the Project Budget for Music FFE.
SVST plans on assuming occupancy of the ICSVPAC on June 3, with ribbon-cutting
June 20 (the first day of summer, true to our summer roots), Conservatory classes/Camps
beginning right away in June, Grand Opening production on the Main Stage for four weeks
th
beginning July 26, and then year-round operations on two stages and events in the Event
Center from September 2024 onward.
SVST, known in 2024 as the Idaho Central Spokane Valley Performing Arts Center
hopes to continue its arts presence in the niche market between Spokane and Coeur
The City of Spokane Valley has always been a great supporter to our company in this regard,
and we hope these investments will have an economic impact back to the City.
Spokane Valley Summer Theatre
City of Spokane Valley Economic Development Grant Proposal
Scope of Work
A. What we wish to do
SVST hopes to secure a minor grant of $20,000 to assist with equipment purchase in the
area of Music FFE, to support the opening and ongoing operations of ICSVPAC. The items
listed on the Project Budget Expenses are still related to education and production value.
Whenever possible, SVST will seek a Valley based business, vendor or supplier for these
needs.
We hope to have the equipment in place prior to Conservatory and Grand Opening in
Summer 2024.
B. How the Community will benefit:
The City of Spokane Valley, The Inland Northwest Region, and the rural communities
surrounding Spokane County benefit from arts and culture offerings in four major ways:
Education and Youth Development - The aforementioned Conservatory theatre education
program serves over 150 students (and growing), grades 2-12, in the summer. SVST prepares
students to step into their perspective career field with the appropriate resources, fundamental
tools, and decision-making abilities to continue their interests and passions on their own during
the school year. Through routine practice of physical and mental discipline, theatre students
develop an awareness as they learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses while setting
aside differences and learning by example to come together to achieve a common goal.
Health and Wellbeing - "The object of art is to give life shape." - William Shakespeare. After
months of isolation, SVST cannot wait to welcome patrons back for a sense of togetherness and
storytelling. It is soul-fulfilling in a way that no other medium can be. For most people, the
performing arts achieves a certain stillness in the midst of a chaotic world. At the deepest level,
the creative process and the healing process arise from a single source...our artists can serve
as healers.
Economic Impact - The national statistic we like to quote is that for every $1 spent on theatre
tickets, $33 is pumped back into the local economy (from clothing, babysitting, pre-show meals,
concessions, parking, etc.). Historically, in a summer-only season at CVSD high schools, SVST
has returned around $8M back to the local economy. Going year-round will essentially allow us
to quadruple.
In 2024, once construction is completed, we will be starting in June with weekly Conservatory
classes/camps and one large Grand Opening Show on the Main Stage (running four weeks),
after which we will begin our annual schedule on two stages from September 2024 onward. We
hope to consistently have an impact on the City of Spokane Valley in terms of hospitality and
tourism, and routinely bring entertainment dollars back to our community.
Quality of Life/Social Connections - "Music and arts make a bridge across the world in a way
that nothing else can", Julie Andrews. Besides the obvious physical aspect of being able to
gather, which is particularly important for children, families and senior citizens, live theatre
represents and reveals a world of ideas. Art moves beyond the transmission model of education
into the space of inquiry and dialog. Theatre is an act of faith, in which a bunch of strangers
gather in a shared space, the lights go down, and we all dream the same dream. Anyone who
says you cannot see a thought, has never attended live theatre!
C. Beginning and End Dates
SVST assumes occupancy of the ICSVPAC in June 2023 with Conservatory education
beginning immediately. Purchases of music equipment in Spring 2024 will be installed asap in
June, in preparation for production in late July. Our fiscal year ends August 31.
D. Seasonal Activity and weather-related constraints
N/A/. This brand new facility boasts 300 free-parking spots, ADA compliancy, plenty of
restrooms and air conditioning.
Spokane Valley Summer Theatre
City of Spokane Valley Economic Development Grant Proposal
Metrics
Metrics are fairly straightforward. Success of the Grand Opening performance run will
be measured in full-season and individual ticket sales, both in dollars and attendance. The
highest selling show in company history, to date, was 2023s Grease, and we hope the Grand
Opening Production will out-earn that benchmark.
Conservatory success is measured in enrollment (the amount of students served,
including those with socio-economic challengesSVST offers two named scholarships and has
an fully seeded and growing endowment for Conservatory Scholarships. No child will be turned
away).
SVST realized continued record audience growth at University High School during the
2023 summer season (40% ahead of the 2022 season at this writing), and we expect that to
continue with the novelty of this new facility. One-third of patrons and conservatory students
continued to attend from outside the cities of Spokane/Spokane Valley, and 15% from out of
state. Those patrons and families spent ancillary dollars in the Valley area and took advantage
of local lodging.
SVST, soon to be ICSVPAC, prides itself on its relationships with rural communities in
the Inland Northwest region, drawing those with little or no access to professional performing
arts, to the I-90 corridor to spend their leisure dollars. We hope the City will continue to be a
valued partner!
Spokane Valley Summer Theatre Board Meeting 04.30.23
Called To Order at 5 P.M. by Yvonne A.K. Johnson, Executive Artistic Director
Staff Present:
Yvonne A. K. Johnson, Executive Artistic Director
Dr. Marnie Rorholm, Managing Director
Susanna Baylon, Media Consultant
Collin Pittmann Production Manager
Board Members:
Ruth Kavanagh, President
Sally Anschuetz, Director at Large
Emily Harvey, Secretary
Daniel Hoffmann, Treasurer
Old Business:
SVST was awarded $22,500 in Grant Funding from ArtsFund and the Paul G. Allen Family
Foundation.
SVST was also awarded the Business Innovation Award from the Greater Spokane Valley
Chamber of Commerce (GSVCC) for small organizations, for its navigation of the pandemic
and post-pandemic periods, and continuing to grow and thrive.
2022s SVST production of Newsies won the 2023 Best Of award in the PNW Inlander
rd
Readers Poll. This is the 3 year in a row (Sound of Music 2020, and Little House on the
Prairie 2022no awards in 2021 for Covid).
Production righ
ICSVPAC) have been secured. Titles include:
Grease, June 16-July 2
Bright Star (a regional premiere), July 14 - 23
Escape to Margaritaville (another regional premier), August 4-20
J. Clayton Winters (our first equity actor who joined in 2022) will be returning for the 2023
season (appearing in Bright Star with Andrea Olsen). Joshua Spencer will be performing in
Margaritaville, and Matt Goodrich will be Guest Musical Directing Bright Star.
All 3 season sponsorships have been sold at $25k, but we are without single show sponsors for
any of the 3 shows (at $10k). We are working against ourselves a bit with the Capital Campaign
for ICSVPAC running concurrently.
New Business:
This is the last year for lobby raffle baskets. We are doing pretty well with wine, but we could
use restaurant or coffee gift cards.
Over the summer, Marnie will be applying for several grants: ArtsWA General Operating
Support, Spokane Arts, The Marie Lamfrom Charitable Foundation, the Charlotte Y. Martin
Foundation, Bank of America (Economic Mobility based on the Needs of the Community),
Pitney Bowes, and the City of Spokane Valley Economic Development and Lodging & Tax
(LTAC) Grants.
Collin reported that the Conservatory summer camps are 80% sold, reflecting a40% growth in
Conservatory enrollmentand revenue.
Melody reported that ticket sales are 60% higher than where we were last year at this same point.
Bright Star is the slowest sales(since its not a really well known title), but she is not concerned
at this point and will be doing additional marketing for that title.
Melody and Yvonne did a presentation on projected ticket prices and packages in the new
ICSVPAC to gauge Board/AC feedback(which was positive):
Prices are to stay as affordable as possiblefor professional theatre(compared to all
entertainment/arts venues in this market), but with room for growth in subsequent years:
o Mainstage seasontickets save 10% off single ticket prices
o Studio season tickets save 10% off single ticket prices
o Deluxe Season ticket package (both Mainstage and Studio) save 15% off single
tickets.
Single ticket prices varyaccording to category (adult, senior/military and student) and
also the area of the Mainstage (premium/orchestra or Loge).
There are no ticketing fees other than a one-time order fee with each season ticket
package.
Grand Opening Title will bereleased Fall 2023. 2024/25 Season titles will be released
Feb/March 2024.
Grease rehearsal begins May 15!
Meeting adjourned at 6:00 P.M. Next Meeting, Aug. 2023.

As a community, our personal, artistic,
spiritual and emotional needs to come
feels like a fractured society has never
been higher. A performing arts center of
this magnitude is a cornerstone to the
foundation and identityof all thriving
cities. When we look throughout history,
the arts have always been pivotal to the
formation of community and its culture.
Of all the arts, theatre mirrors society most
its people. ICSVPAC is a legacy project
that will serve as a beacon of light and
hope for all. It will become the heart of the
city of Spokane Valley and our region for
generations to come.
Historically, arts and cultureare
proven catalysts for growth and economic
prosperity in any region. By creating
tourists, and attract investment. Not
only do the arts provide a much needed
social escape and infusion of purpose for
many in our region from youth through
the end of life, they also help drive local
economies. Having an abundance of
unique arts experiences and community-
centered events means more revenue for
local businesses both large and small. It
also makes communities more attractive
to talented professionals whose decisions
on where to start a career or business, and
begin a family are increasingly driven by
the quality of life and the availability of
cultural amenities.
Our region has always embraced the
extraordinary quality of performances in
our area, and it’s time to take the next step
and progressto the next level that enriches
all residents and encourages us to lead
more meaningful, connected, cultured and

The mission of Elevations A Children's Resource Therapy Foundation is "Elevating children with
special needs to reach their full potential by providing access to the resources and support they
Founded in 2012, Elevations is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that coordinates directly with
therapy providers to serve children ages birth to 18 with special needs in Spokane County.
Elevations funds critical therapy services and provide therapy equipment for home use. We
address barriers to care such as: high insurance deductibles, multiple co-pays, limited insurance
benefits, uninsured services/equipment.
We believe that children of all abilities deserve services that allow them to reach their potential
and thrive. A family's income should not determine access to quality therapy services, medical
equipment, or needed services.

BUSINESS STATEMENT
Brief Description of Organization: Joya Child & Family Development is a nonprofit Neurodevelopmental
Center of Excellence staffed by certified teachers, therapists, pediatric nurses, a pediatrician, and social
ntion services to
children and families regardless of their ability to pay. Our team is on the front end of caring for children
birth to three with developmental delays and disabilities. Our work and interventions change the entire
life, leading to better outcomes in social-emotional and physical health, school, and
work.
-based and operates twelve months annually. Treatment is
specifically tailored to meet the individual needs of each child and family. We do this through a
personalized, comprehensive program of assessment, therapy, education, and support. With a staff of 47
and a yearly budget of $4 million, we currently serve more than 500 children a year and provide
individual and group therapy in over 15 service areas in homes, at Joya, and at daycares throughout
Spokane County, including the City of Spokane Valley.
Mission Statement: Joya is dedicated to igniting hope, empowering children and families, and
establishing lifelong skills. We provide exceptional pediatric therapy and support services, engage
families, and remove financial barriers. Our community is built on inclusion, encouragement,
and lasting connections.
Primary Function: Joya is a birth-to-three early intervention provider, offering therapy, special education
and financial support for children and families in Spokane County.
Children may be referred to Joya by a physician or by self-referral. Parents and caregivers are an integral
Our Nurse Intake Coordinator receives all initial referrals for children. She gathers information about the
Coordinator (FRC) who will meet with the
family to complete enrollment paperwork. An initial developmental evaluation is scheduled with an
evaluating team (comprised of two or more pediatric therapists and/or a special education teacher) who
will evaluate
conducting an evaluation, the team collaborates to develop an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP).
Children with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, spina bifida, hearing or vision impairments, muscular
dystrophy, autism, traumatic brain injury (shaken babies) and other forms of developmental delays and
rare syndromes, are all served without regard to race, gender, religion or ability to pay.

PROJECT SUMMARY
Joya Child & Family Development is requesting $14,300 in one-time funding to purchase six new
Otoacoustic Emission (OAE) devices including accessories and maintenance. These specialized hearing
screeners are a critical component of our overall screening process when an infant or toddler is first
referred to Joya. At Joya, each child has their vision and hearing assessed as part of our comprehensive
evaluation when they are enrolled and again periodically for reevaluations throughout their time in the
program. These screenings are essential in catching any abnormalities as early as possible to provide the
most opportunity for intervention. Joya is seeking support just for the hearing screening portion. The
vision screening has been covered by another community partner.
These new devices would replace our existing outdated hearing screeners and would allow us to better
provide accurate hearing screening to infants and toddlers for years to come.
Early screening is simple, yet critical. Approximately three out of every 1,000 children in the United
States are born with hearing loss, making it the most frequently occurring birth disorder. This portable
hearing screener is fast and requires no interpretation thus allowing any therapist or medical staff to
perform hearing screenings as needed. This screener also requires no patient response making it ideal
for testing the hearing of infants and toddlers with disabilities.
This request falls into the Social Services category as such support would directly provide quality services
for hundreds of children served by Joya each year, including those who reside in the City of Spokane
Valley.

Joya wishes to purchase precise and reliable hearing screening tools to ensure that we can
provide accurate evaluations for the infants and toddlers we care for. We request funding to
help us replace our outdated and aging screening tools.
We need six Otoacoustic Emission (OAE) Devices and Accessories in order to better care for our
clients. We currently have four obsolete OAEs. As our enrollment has grown 24% in the last
year, we have hired additional speech language pathologists (SLPs) to manage our increasing
demand for speech therapy. We now have 11 SLPs on staff. It would be optimal to have an OAE
in every kit the speech therapists take with them to do initial intake evaluations in homes and
daycares. We currently only have two newer, functioning OAEs. As part of the newly
implemented "Three Prong Approach" to identifying hearing loss and visual
impairments/blindness in young children, hearing screenings are now required for all providers
. important
that all our speech therapists are equipped with OAEs to take with them to home programs.
Timing is critical. The longer an infant goes with undetected hearing loss, the farther they will
fall behind in meeting developmental milestones.

The earlier children with hearing loss start getting services, the more likely they are to reach
their full potential. If Joya is able to identify more infants and toddlers with hearing loss early
on, we can get them support both through our early intervention program and with our
partners at the Spokane HOPE School, where such children have access to a Teacher of the
Deaf/Hard of Hearing.
Every year, hundreds of children will be born in Spokane County with some form of
developmental delay or disability. For many, the only hope that exists for realizing their full
potential is through the provision of early intervention services, like those offered at Joya.
From birth to three years old, the brain is still developing, making this the optimum time to
provide therapy to improve function for living in the least restrictive environment; to miss this
window of opportunity is to lose it forever. Because schools are not mandated to provide these

ing results when it comes to educational success for
vulnerable youth, which benefits the community as a whole. More than 70% of those enrolled
in our early intervention program are Medicaid eligible or qualify as low-income. When children
come to Joya, we do our best to level the playing field and more than half, 54% in FY 21-22, of
children served reached their age-appropriate milestones and did not require additional
d did
not require any special education services in the public school system. That is a huge
accomplishment for kiddos who start out with disadvantages related to income and
developmental delays. Accurate and timely hearing screenings are just one important tool that
helps us achieve these results.
It should be noted too that the hearing screening equipment would be available as a resource
for the broader community. In the past, our Nurse Coordinator has used the equipment in the
community in connection wit
detection of health problems that may go unnoticed. It would also be made available to
children who are not enrolled in our program but take part in our Community Play Groups. The
end result is that all children attending Joya would be positively impacted by the equipment, as
well as children within our greater community.
ĭ͵ .ĻŭźƓƓźƓŭ ğƓķ ĻƓķźƓŭ ķğƷĻƭ
We intend to purchase the OAE equipment in January 2024, once we know we have secured

In May of 2022, Joya moved into a new building intending to serve more children and families
our way to reaching one of our goals in the new facility, doubling our enrollment from 300 to
600 children served annually. Our mission is to become a resource for all children and families
Infants and Toddlers (ESIT) program. Now that we have the space, we are eager to address this
ongoing critical need for early intervention services in Spokane County and beyond.
Funds from the City of Spokane Valley will be used to help further this very important work.
Each year, Joya must raise about $1.5 million privately to pay for the unfunded or underfunded
portions of our program. Joya relies more and more on philanthropy to ensure that we can
continue to serve as many children as possible and give them a jump-start on reaching their full
potential.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the following:
All babies should be screened for hearing loss no later than 1 month of age.
If a baby does no
soon as possible, but no later than 3 months of age.
If Joya is able to secure funding to purchase new OAE devices, our goal will be to do a hearing
screening on every child referred to us at their initial intake evaluation. A screening result that
indicates a possible hearing loss or is inconclusive, will be followed by a referral to an ENT (Ear
Nose and Throat Specialist) and an audiologist for further testing and diagnosis.
We will be able to track how many infants and families we help and how well they do in the
future. Our Nurse Enrollment Coordinator will be tracking every child in our electronic medical
records system. Each child will undergo full developmental evaluation to establish a baseline for
all milestones. As a child progresses they will either be discharged or stay enrolled in our birth-
to-three program until they age out. We will be able to report how many children were referred,
how many received services, if a child improved or not and how many appointments it took to
meet milestones. We will be able to report on how many children we screened for hearing loss
and how many were referred to the HOPE School for more in-depth hearing services.
Our strategy for long term tracking is tied to overall child outcomes. Did the child eventually reach
really hard to measure what we prevent, but we know an infant who is never given the ability to
thrive will lag behind in school and life.

4.Project Summary
Our proposal seeks to substantially expand SNAP’s presence in the City of Spokane Valley
, increasing access to critical intervention services for individuals experiencing
homelessness. Engaging with Homeless Services often requires multiple trips to
downtown Spokane, creating a transportation barrier between clients and their ability to
receive adequate case management. Getting from the City of Spokane Valley to downtown
Spokane may not seem
transportation resources a relatively small logistics hurdle can
decrease an individual’s likelihood to escape the cycle of homelessness.
Limited access to SNAP Homeless Services in the City of Spokane Valley is very much a
issue, and the grant funds we are seeking will swiftly increase staavailability at SNAP’s

inside Spokane Valley Partners, and we are proud of our ongoing
successful collaboration with SVP’s homeless outreach team, but right now services are
currently limited to one morning per week and uld enable us to expand
service availability from 2 hours per week to a minimum of 18.75 hours per week.
Housing Specialist will be available to assist homeless
individuals and couples by performing Coordinated Assessments (these enable service
referrals to other providers within the homelessness response system) and helping them
apply for a temporary residence through the Rapid Rehousing program. The Housing
Specialist will also serve as a Landlord Liaison for SNAP housing clients in the City of
Spokane Valley. The Landlord Liaison program was created to establish positive
relationships with local landlords and give them a means of intervention when tenant issues
arise before needing to contact law enforcement. Similar liaison programs in other cities
have been consistently proven to increase positive rehousing outcomes.

We will know if we are successful because of the database we had created for just us.
We can track the children and teens who shop and what items they take. We will know
immediately if they were able to receive a new pair of shoes.

Anchor - $6,315.01 SHIPS FREE!
2. C-375/C-450 Lifts Retro Tri Point Drop-in Anchor System
- $414.56 SHIPS FREE! (X 3 SETS) = $1,243.68
3. Global Lift TiMotion Battery - $423.99
Total Project = $7,982.68 + 9% Tax ($718.45) = $8,701.13
Description
The C-450 Portable Commercial Pool Lift without anchor can be easily moved around the deck
and is ADA compliant when it in a fixed position and anchored to the deck with one of the Global
anchoring systems. The C-450 has a lifting capacity of 450 pounds and features an Emergency
Stop System. The Emergency Return System is designed to connect the power source directly
to the actuator in the event the handset and/or controls malfunction. It will safely return the
stranded user to the up position and out of the water. This easy to use pool lift includes
armrests, footrests, and safety belt.
The Global lifts are constructed of stainless steel with a UV resistant powder coating finish for
extra durability. They are battery powered with a 24-volt system. They can be used on most
standard pool applications.
No anchor is included assuming there is an anchor already installed at your facility. Three
anchoring systems are available from Global and can be purchased separately so they can be
installed in the concrete (Tri-Point, Tri-Point Drop-in and Retrofit).
The C-450 Portable Commercial Pool Lift is a great choice because they use a bolting system
instead of counter-weights. That makes them far easier to transport and store than a traditional
portable lift (which can weigh up to 1000 pounds).
The Americans with Disabilities Act requires commercial and public pools nationwide to install
an accessible means of entry into the swimming pool by anyone. This Global pool lift provides
people with disabilities with the ability to transfer from the pool deck to the pool water safely,
comfortably and independently. These lifts are also required by many state and local
governments for compliance with local pool codes and laws.
Product Features
450 lb. lifting capacity.
Fully ADA Compliant when anchored.
No anchor included - anchor should be pre-installed.
Emergency Return System
Lift includes armrests, footrests and safety belt.
Battery powered 24 volt system with charging station.

Project Summary Provide a concise summary of your request and what it will
accomplish. If it is part of a larger project, you may briefly describe the over-all project.
The purchase of this equipment is to make available our Aquatics Program and Facilities to all
members of the community regardless of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). The
YMCA has been developing, in partnership with CHAS Medical, Special Olympics Washington,
and LiveStrong Program the purchase and installation of equipment to best serve the needs of
those with IDD and those recovering from cancer and severe health issues. The YMCA is a
place of inclusion and we are continually developing all programs, services and equipment to
best serve everyone and all their needs for fitness.
Our Pathways to Wellness program is a Lifestyle Medicine program, offered at little to no cost
that has been collaboratively designed and is co-implemented by staff teams from CHAS Health
and the YMCA of the Inland Northwest. In this Partnership we maintain a 10-week lifestyle
medicine intervention program, empowering CHAS patients to come to the YMCA Branches to
develop their own paths to improve health outcomes.
LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA is a 12-week wellness program, offered at no cost, to help
survivors improve their strength and physical fitness, diminish the severity of therapy side
effects, develop supportive relationships, process some of the collateral damage of cancer
(social-emotional, relational, financial), and improve their quality of life.
Through Special Olympics Washington we are working in partnership and offer Adaptive Swim
Lessons and instructions on Safety around Water for all Special Olympic Athletes; as well as
working to establish the Fit5 Special Olympics program which ready
Athletes for the Special Olympic Games and Competitions.
Specify how your project falls into the category of Economic Development or Social
Services.
This Request falls into the Social Services portion of the Grant Application as it deals directly
with individuals who would be considered part of the groups determined as Intellectual and
Developmental Disabilities; and those individuals who are in recovery from cancer and/or
severe health issues. All of the individuals will benefit directly from the purchase of this
equipment as it will enable them to use it to improve their physical and emotional fitness in our
Aquatics Programs.

a. What you wish to do?
Purchase Aquatics Portable Lift Chair for YMCA Spokane Valley Branch / Purchase 3
Anchor Kits for Portable Lift Chair / Purchase Battery for Portable Lift Chair
b. How and why the community will benefit?

regardless of their Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities or physical constraints. Making
the therapy of our pool areas available to all
c. Beginning and ending dates

Anchor Kits will be installed immediately by a qualified contractor
d. Is the project seasonal; are there weather constraints? None and No
e. Other specific scope related information - None
Goals and Metrics List specific goals and how your organization will measure thesuccessful
use of any awarded grant funding.
What methodology is used to determine if goals are met?
The Goal of this project will be met through the purchase of the Lift Chair and proof of purchase
is presented to the City of Spokane Valley, and with the installation of the equipment.
What specific impact would the grant funding have on the project?
The impact would be in direct service to those who will utilize the equipment. Individuals with
IDD, Cancer, and Physical limitations will benefit from the equipment by being able to have the
added therapy of aquatics. Aquatics therapy offers low impact and low resistance for these
individuals to assist in their recovery and in their ongoing physical fitness. The equipment also
allows for the sense of being able to participate socially in settings that without the equipment
are not possible to these clients.
Please note that all clients involved in the programs and services available with the use of this
equipment are eligible to participate at little to no cost through our Membership for All Program.
The YMCA as a Nonprofit Organization makes available full and partial scholarships to
individuals unable to meet the fees of our programs. The YMCA believes that financial
constraints will not be a barrier to prevent individuals from participating and enjoying the
services we offer.
