(Line item budget for this amount) The $10,000 will be used as local match for drawing down Federal/State dollars at a ratio of $11.50 to $1.00. The $10,000 will effectively leverage and generate an additional $115,000 for a total of $125,000. The $125,000 will be used to subsidize direct child care costs for children of low- income employed families, i.e the working poor. All dollars will be used for programs and none for administration. E. Brief description of project you wish to fund utilizing this grant. The use of the dollars indicated in D above will assist parents in becoming economically self sufficient and foster healthy growth and development of the children through the provision of high quality child care and early education services. Although the dollars will be used for paying the direct child care costs, CCC I S program and administrative services also includes semi-annual eligibility determination, quality assurance monitoring of child care providers, technical assistance and training for providers, child care resource a~d referral, social service referrals for clients who do not have case managers, and providing timely monthly payments to approximately 1,000 providers/parents. F. Brief descr~ption of your overall organization. Coordinated Child Care of Pinellas, Inc. (CCC) serves Pinellas County in its official State-designated capacity as a Community Child Care Coordinating Agency (4C agency) for subsidized child care. We function as a funder and service broker of child care dollars and services. 4 C agencies are unique when compared to other agencies who primarily provide direct services. CCC collects grant and other dollars from some 16 different funding streams and allocates subsidy dollars to child care pl;"oviders on behalf of parents of enrolled children. In some circumstances the parents are 3 reimbursed directly, rather than the providers. In this manner, we br:Lng some sense of order to Ihaotic federal and state funding Jecha~isms by offering a ver~customer-friendly, integrated, "one-stop shopping" service for families. CCC is the only agency providing this function in Pinellas County. Therefore, no duplication of services occurs. CCC provides services at the Clearwater Centre office building located at 1100 Cleveland Street as the cor~ north county service outpost. Our services are co-located with state agencies providing public assistance and employment services to our mutual clients. The Clearwater Centre one-stop service center will greatly enhance service accessibility for Clearwater residents in need of our services. CCC's high quality Board and Executive leadership has created a fast growing agency which is currently one of the largest, if not the largest non-profit agency (ies) in Pinellas County, in terms of budget size. CCC is also the most effective 4 C agency in the State with regard the procurement of local revenue. Additiona~ly, CCC has developed and maintained the largest child care provider network in the state with an average of approximately 575 subcontracted providers. CCC also serves children through another 400. non-contTacted providers, in accordance with Federal "parent choice" policies. CCC consistently meets the general "bottom linell goals of all non-profits, -i. e. producing favorable outcomes at a reasonable cost. Our meaningful service obj ecti ves are consistently met or exceeded, with satisfaction ratings from our multiple customers averaging 98%. These results are achieved with a lean administrative budget, accounting for only 3.2% of our overall annual expenditures. G.

If this is start up or matching money, specify the details ie: Which agency or organization will provide the match, the requirements and the amount of the match. The $10,000 requested of the City of Clearwater will be pooled with other local match sources from the Juvenile Welfare Board, United Way, and the City of St. Petersburg. These local match dollars will be used to match dollars from the 4 Florida Deparlnent of Children and Famites (formerly HRS) which allocat~ st~te and federal dollar. The local match requirement is 8% and, as previously indicated, will generate $11.50 of state/federal dollars for every $1 of local match monies. The $10,000 will leverage an additional $125,000. K. Is your agency a registered SOl(c) (3) Non-profit agency or in the process of becoming one. Yes, Coordinated Child Care of Pinellas, Inc. is registered and classified as a 501(c) (3) under the IRS code, and has been such since 1969. L.
