0:01:22.200,0:01:26.880

to the city of Charlotte for the work that I know

that you do late at night and early in the morning

0:01:26.880,0:01:32.580

and all of the other hours to serve the people

that are so important to all of us and for being

0:01:32.580,0:01:39.480

here tonight to learn about this grant opportunity

our city council in Charlotte are committed to

0:01:39.480,0:01:44.820

supporting our community in all that they do and

particularly with these funds that we've been

0:01:44.820,0:01:50.040

fortunate to receive through the American Rescue

plan act over arpa as many of you have probably

0:01:50.040,0:01:56.880

heard of those dollars this grant is part of that

60 million dollar arpa investment in the city of

0:01:56.880,0:02:02.700

Charlotte that is going toward housing Workforce

Development employment and Community vitality

0:02:03.780,0:02:09.180

and this is a partner effort um through a partner

effort that you'll hear from in the coming months

0:02:09.180,0:02:16.260

with Hispanic Federation this will represent a

2.75 million dollar award to local nonprofits

0:02:16.260,0:02:22.440

with 1 million of that particularly earmarked

for small nonprofits and we think city council

0:02:22.440,0:02:27.180

for ensuring that that wish was clear and

that we could share that information with you

0:02:27.780,0:02:33.420

this grant is intended to support non-profits

that were impacted by or serve populations

0:02:33.420,0:02:39.000

that have been impacted by covid as so many of

us have and I just want to finish my remarks

0:02:39.000,0:02:45.180

by thanking staff Jackie mentioned Pat Mason

Jackie Claire and Lacey Williams have really

0:02:45.180,0:02:50.040

put an extraordinary effort behind this grant

which is new to us and is reinvesting some

0:02:50.040,0:02:54.900

funds that just came back our way and so I

want to thank them for their extraordinary

0:02:54.900,0:03:00.000

effort and I also want to ask your grace as we

learn this grant together because it is brand

0:03:00.000,0:03:05.280

new and there may be some questions tonight that

we need some time to research we will absolutely

0:03:05.280,0:03:11.220

get back to you with answers to those questions

but without further Ado I turn it back to Jackie

0:03:12.240,0:03:17.460

all right thanks Nicole all right so I'm going

to go ahead and share my screen with you all

0:03:22.020,0:03:22.800

foreign

0:03:29.460,0:03:30.420

all right

0:03:33.000,0:03:37.680

so Nicole has already kicked us

off and shared some of the the

0:03:37.680,0:03:41.400

basic information with you

about the about the program

0:03:42.540,0:03:51.240

um so I will not repeat um what she just said

so we'll move on to um the next slide which

0:03:51.840,0:04:00.120

um I want to share there are grants up to 250

000 available for your non-profit organizations

0:04:00.120,0:04:07.980

within three areas of community resilience and

those three areas are housing and neighborhoods

0:04:07.980,0:04:16.140

equity and inclusion and sustainability and the

environment and these bullet points are examples

0:04:16.140,0:04:23.340

of work within the area of community resilience

however your organization might be doing other

0:04:23.340,0:04:29.640

work that meets those criteria so this is not

meant to be an exclusive list it's simply to

0:04:29.640,0:04:36.300

give you some ideas of what type of things

qualify under these three broad categories

0:04:38.760,0:04:46.260

so there are two tiers of funding available and

small non-profits with operating budgets of up to

0:04:46.260,0:04:53.640

two hundred and fifty thousand dollars May request

up to seventy five thousand dollars in funding and

0:04:53.640,0:05:00.120

medium to large non-profits with operating budgets

over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars May

0:05:00.120,0:05:06.360

request up to two hundred and fifty thousand

dollars um one note that I want to make here

0:05:06.360,0:05:13.140

is that your funding request should not exceed

thirty percent of your total operating budget

0:05:15.120,0:05:21.540

and there are two pools um of funding so

small nonprofits the total award pool is

0:05:21.540,0:05:28.500

one million dollars and for the medium to large

nonprofits the award pool is 1.5 million dollars

0:05:32.340,0:05:39.480

so like all Grant programs there are eligibility

requirements that all organizations must meet

0:05:40.500,0:05:46.680

um so your organization needs to serve a public

good and you must have been operating in the

0:05:46.680,0:05:53.160

city of Charlotte for four consecutive years and

your work must align with one of those areas of

0:05:53.160,0:05:59.400

community resilience so as a reminder that was

housing in neighborhoods equity and inclusion

0:05:59.400,0:06:06.480

or sustainability and the environment

your organization needs to be a 501c3

0:06:06.480,0:06:15.180

or under the fiscal sponsorship of a 501c3

tax exempt organization and if you are using

0:06:15.180,0:06:22.020

a fiscal sponsor your sponsor's mission must

relate to yours to your organization's mission

0:06:22.800,0:06:30.360

you will need to have filed a current form

990 and for small organizations whose gross

0:06:30.360,0:06:36.300

receipts are up to fifty thousand dollars

um you are not required to file a 990 but

0:06:36.300,0:06:45.780

you do need to submit a 990 n we will accept

a 990 n or a 990 as the required documentation

0:06:47.040,0:06:52.020

your organization should have an operating

budget of at least twenty thousand dollars

0:06:52.020,0:06:58.440

and you'll need to be able to demonstrate that

your organization works with individuals or

0:06:58.440,0:07:06.840

communities that have been impacted by covid-19

or provide proof of operation within eligible

0:07:06.840,0:07:13.800

census tracts and those are shown in Blue

on the map to the right side of your screen

0:07:17.760,0:07:26.700

some additional considerations because these

grants are federal funds all organizations

0:07:26.700,0:07:35.760

must register with sam.gov and provide a unique

entity ID and expiration date in the application

0:07:37.080,0:07:44.460

um the third bullet point here only

applies to organizations that expand 750

0:07:44.460,0:07:54.780

000 or more in federal funds in one year from

all sources including the CRF if awarded so if

0:07:54.780,0:07:59.940

that applies to your organization you

are required to obtain a single audit

0:08:00.480,0:08:08.820

and then lastly funds cannot be passed through to

another organization unless using a formal fiscal

0:08:08.820,0:08:16.440

sponsor so they can't be used for membership fees

or sub-granting and again These funds are for

0:08:16.440,0:08:23.340

General operating support and program expenses

and so they may not be used for Capital costs

0:08:27.360,0:08:34.980

so this is the list of required documents that

you will upload in the application so you'll

0:08:34.980,0:08:42.780

need to pull together your operating budgets

from 2021 22 and 23. your current board of

0:08:42.780,0:08:52.320

directors roster your IRS determination letter um

or if you're using a fiscal sponsor your fiscal

0:08:52.320,0:08:58.620

sponsor award letter and the spot or not a

board letter but agreement letter and your

0:08:58.620,0:09:10.140

sponsors IRS determination letter again your

990 or your 990 and and the unique Sam unique

0:09:10.140,0:09:16.440

identity ID number and the expiration date

that Sam ID number is a tongue twister sorry

0:09:19.260,0:09:26.580

so the Sam registration is online

at sam.gov and this is a two-step

0:09:26.580,0:09:34.620

process so if you haven't done this before the

first step is to sign up online and signing up

0:09:34.620,0:09:42.900

means getting an account and setting up

a profile on sam.gov also from this page

0:09:42.900,0:09:48.660

you may also renew registrations

if you already have an ID number

0:09:51.360,0:09:59.580

so once you've signed up the second step is

to register to become certified to receive

0:09:59.580,0:10:05.580

grants from the federal government and this

page might be too tiny to see but there are

0:10:05.580,0:10:10.680

several questions that you'll be required

to answer and they're mostly related to

0:10:10.680,0:10:18.660

your organization's financial information your

tax ID number and details and excuse me your

0:10:18.660,0:10:23.820

business contact information and contact

information for your executive director

0:10:24.720,0:10:32.700

it's really important to register early according

to the Sam website it takes 10 to 15 business days

0:10:32.700,0:10:39.120

to get your full registration processed and

it may take longer if they have any questions

0:10:39.120,0:10:46.920

or there are any problems or issues with your

registration so do that is as early as you can

0:10:49.800,0:10:58.500

so once you've determined your eligibility and

you have your Sam ID number in process you will

0:10:58.500,0:11:05.400

be ready to apply and so the application

process is sort of a multi-step process

0:11:06.360,0:11:13.980

um so the first thing that you're going to do

is navigate to the online application and I'm

0:11:13.980,0:11:19.500

going to show you that in a moment and you

will either register as a new organization

0:11:19.500,0:11:27.060

or if you already have an account with us you'll

use your login credentials to log into the portal

0:11:28.500,0:11:36.720

um if you do have a previous record you'll

want to make sure that as the applicant you

0:11:36.720,0:11:44.340

as the individual you want to make sure that your

profile information is current and up to date and

0:11:44.340,0:11:49.920

you're also going to want to make sure that

your organization info is up to date as well

0:11:50.820,0:11:59.040

the grant is or Grant application is currently

open and it will be open until 5 PM on June 30th

0:11:59.040,0:12:06.660

so you've got most of the month throughout the

rest of the month to get your application in

0:12:07.980,0:12:14.940

um the applications will be reviewed by a

committee made up of City staff and community

0:12:14.940,0:12:25.080

members you'll be notified of your award status in

August and you will also be if you are awarded a

0:12:25.080,0:12:33.180

grant you will be invited to attend an orientation

session and you will also sign a contract with

0:12:33.180,0:12:39.780

the city of Charlotte once your contract is

signed the first grant installment will be

0:12:39.780,0:12:48.000

paid in approximately 45 days once a contract is

executed and we've received your submitted invoice

0:12:50.760,0:12:55.860

so as I mentioned the applications

must be submitted on the grants portal

0:12:56.460,0:13:02.880

um here are some screenshots of what that

looks like and the easiest way to find the

0:13:02.880,0:13:13.800

Portal is to navigate to Charlotte nc.gov and

search for CRF in the search bar on the website

0:13:14.640,0:13:21.420

and that's where most of you found the link to

register tonight so on that main page for the

0:13:21.420,0:13:29.040

community resilience fund Grant at the

bottom of that page is a link that says

0:13:29.580,0:13:35.700

um Grant portal so you're going to click

on that link and that will bring you to

0:13:35.700,0:13:41.040

the portal and once you're there you'll

either click on the link to create a new

0:13:41.040,0:13:47.640

account or to log in if your organization

already does have have an account with us

0:13:50.700,0:13:56.700

so as I mentioned you want to make sure that your

applicant details are complete and accurate on

0:13:56.700,0:14:01.860

the dashboard if you need to make any changes

you're going to click on those pencil icons

0:14:02.760,0:14:09.240

um to write of applicant or to the right of the

organization name and then when you're ready

0:14:09.240,0:14:15.900

to apply um you want to navigate to the apply

button at the top of the page on that green menu

0:14:17.520,0:14:25.980

um the one thing that I want to point out on

the application page there are multiple grant

0:14:25.980,0:14:32.280

opportunities um that you can see and apply

to the ones that are open you want to make

0:14:32.280,0:14:38.700

sure that you click on the apply button for the

community resilience fund um because the grant

0:14:38.700,0:14:43.920

applications are different so if you click on

the neighborhood matching grants or on any of

0:14:43.920,0:14:50.040

those other applications that you see you'll get

a different set of questions and it won't make

0:14:50.040,0:14:56.400

sense so just be careful to click on the apply

button for the community resilience fund Grant

0:15:00.000,0:15:05.340

so um on the next slide these are these

0:15:05.340,0:15:12.000

um the scoring criteria and so we just want you to

keep these in mind when writing your application

0:15:13.200,0:15:21.840

um so the questions that you'll be asked to fill

out will help the Review Committee determine um

0:15:21.840,0:15:29.760

the vulnerable vulnerability and need both of your

organization and of the communities that you serve

0:15:29.760,0:15:37.620

they'll tell us to what extent your organization

is serving a person's disproportionately affected

0:15:37.620,0:15:45.420

by the pandemic how many people your organization

is serving and How Deeply those people are being

0:15:45.420,0:15:53.580

served um they're also looking at the strength

the category strength um so to what extent is

0:15:53.580,0:16:01.560

the organization's Mission and programming tied to

those fundable um CRF categories that we discussed

0:16:03.000,0:16:08.940

um the impact of covid so to what extent

has your organization been affected by covid

0:16:09.780,0:16:16.920

um the ask slash burden proportionality is

the amount requested proportional to the

0:16:16.920,0:16:24.540

impact of covid-19 on the population that you

serve and then they'll also be reviewing all

0:16:24.540,0:16:30.720

of the eligibility criteria to make sure

that all of those criteria are being met

0:16:34.200,0:16:42.960

so after your application has been

approved if if you are granted an award

0:16:43.920,0:16:48.780

um we want to talk to a little bit

about the next steps involved so if

0:16:48.780,0:16:56.220

you're awarded a grant you will complete vendor

registration in the city's registration system

0:16:57.600,0:17:01.560

um you'll also need to submit a

current Certificate of Insurance

0:17:02.400,0:17:10.620

and you'll attend contract signing and Grant

orientation the date for this is still to be

0:17:10.620,0:17:18.360

determined um we will let you know when that

is as soon as we as soon as we can it's largely

0:17:18.360,0:17:25.860

related to the number of applications that the

Review Committee will need to to review so we'll

0:17:25.860,0:17:32.040

try to get back to you as soon as possible

and let you know um if your Grant has your

0:17:32.040,0:17:37.380

Grant application has been approved and when the

contract signing and orientation will be held

0:17:40.380,0:17:48.900

you'll also once you've been approved you'll also

submit your first invoice and documentation to the

0:17:48.900,0:17:57.060

city to request payment so documentation that

you'll include with your invoice might include

0:17:57.060,0:18:05.760

copies of receipts canceled checks a payroll

report um for your first payment you'll receive

0:18:06.480,0:18:13.920

um 30 percent of your Grant award unless

your Grant award was ten thousand dollars

0:18:13.920,0:18:20.220

or less in that case you'll receive a hundred

percent of your award in that first payment

0:18:21.480,0:18:28.380

um when you submit your subsequent um

reports that's when you'll also submit

0:18:28.380,0:18:35.460

your next invoices so those will be due

quarterly so 30 each time until the final

0:18:35.460,0:18:42.060

report and then you'll receive the final 10

that will be remaining in your Grant award

0:18:43.320,0:18:50.700

um you'll be required to complete quarterly

reports and schedule check-in meetings with

0:18:50.700,0:18:56.760

a member of our community engagement team and

so in those meetings you'll discuss with your

0:18:57.360,0:19:02.700

um with your liaison um any challenges

you're having with your project you'll

0:19:02.700,0:19:08.700

share your successes and opportunities and

also share any upcoming events and whatever

0:19:08.700,0:19:16.380

support that you may need so our team is here to

help you along the way if you have any questions

0:19:17.820,0:19:23.220

out to us at any time so that we can

0:19:23.220,0:19:27.540

help you be successful with your

with your Grant implementation

0:19:30.180,0:19:40.860

once your Grant is complete in about a year you

will submit a final report and in the final report

0:19:42.060,0:19:47.760

um you'll report on your um the number of

community members served and really show what

0:19:47.760,0:19:55.080

the community impact was by having the grant um

how did the grant dollars help your organization

0:19:55.080,0:20:03.600

stabilize Revenue over the last year and then we'd

like to see a narrative of two success stories

0:20:03.600,0:20:11.880

that you can either fully or partially attribute

to the city of Charlotte's organization support

0:20:13.080,0:20:16.800

um and then our staff may follow

up with you for further details

0:20:17.820,0:20:26.400

um once we receive that final report um so

hopefully this isn't too too daunting I know

0:20:27.180,0:20:30.960

um federal grants have do have

a lot of requirements and it may

0:20:31.860,0:20:41.520

um sound um scary and daunting but hopefully um

we've you know shared that it's um not too much

0:20:41.520,0:20:49.020

information to compile and we are here to uh

to help you again every every step of the way

0:20:50.160,0:20:56.640

um so I know that there are lots of questions

um so we will open it up now to questions

0:20:59.160,0:21:05.460

and so I'm gonna stop sharing my screen so

I can see I did see a few things in chat

0:21:06.840,0:21:10.080

um so let's see where's the stop sharing button

0:21:12.540,0:21:13.140

there we go

0:21:15.360,0:21:23.880

all right so if you have questions just go ahead

and use the um and raise feature and I will

0:21:24.420,0:21:34.200

um crawl on you as as I see you so um Matt

Olin go ahead thank you Jackie appreciate it

0:21:34.200,0:21:39.360

I have two questions um one is probably one

that's on most people's minds which is that

0:21:39.360,0:21:44.100

if if a non-profit makes a request that

is more than what is available in in the

0:21:44.100,0:21:51.120

pool can the city choose to award you know the

non-profit less than they requested or do you

0:21:51.120,0:21:56.220

know what I'm saying or or do you get eliminated

if you've asked for more than uh is is available

0:21:58.380,0:22:04.020

um Nicole I would say that partial funding

could be available would you agree with

0:22:04.560,0:22:10.080

with that assessment uh let me make sure that

I understand the question Matt are you asking

0:22:10.080,0:22:15.780

if a non-profit can ask for an overall award

more than what stated in the program guidelines

0:22:15.780,0:22:21.240

or are you asking if we run out of money and

there's partial funds left if we will give a

0:22:21.240,0:22:25.860

second round yeah depending on what the total

sum of the asks are from all the non-profits

0:22:25.860,0:22:30.600

can the city choose to offer smaller Awards

than what the nonprofits actually asked for

0:22:32.100,0:22:39.660

it is generally not our practice to reduce the

amounts requested because often it changes the

0:22:39.660,0:22:45.480

nonprofit's ability to deliver the the service or

um the service that they provided the being that

0:22:45.480,0:22:51.060

these are operating grants I think there's

opportunity to consider that um let us do a

0:22:51.060,0:22:56.400

little bit of thinking on that and and some of our

response might be depending on how much interest

0:22:56.400,0:23:01.380

we get in this grant we have 100 participants

in this webinar so we're really expecting and

0:23:01.380,0:23:07.980

hopeful for a lot of interest but let us work on

that and do not let the answer to that question

0:23:07.980,0:23:12.360

dissuade you from applying if you are interested

we're going to do all that we can to support

0:23:12.360,0:23:18.720

to support as many entities as we can thank you

Nicole and it was indeed it's the fact that these

0:23:18.720,0:23:24.480

are operating uh Grant support grants that should

have triggered the question for me on my second

0:23:24.480,0:23:28.920

and final question is you know the and you may not

know the answer to this you know the pending debt

0:23:28.920,0:23:35.340

ceiling bill would would theoretically rescind

about 28 billion in unspent coveted relief funds

0:23:35.340,0:23:41.400

do you anticipate that any of these funds would

be jeopardized by by the terms of that uh bill

0:23:42.060,0:23:48.120

we're definitely unable to answer that question

at this time but if if that should impact us

0:23:48.120,0:23:51.840

we'll certainly take appropriate action to

consider what funds we do have available

0:23:52.740,0:24:00.660

awesome thanks appreciate it all right

Angela Allen hey Jackie thank you

0:24:01.560,0:24:08.400

um I was wanting to follow up on the comment that

was just made about operating funds that Matt said

0:24:08.400,0:24:15.120

Can can we talk a little bit more about that I

just want to be clear that the expectation is

0:24:15.120,0:24:23.820

that we're going to be applying for Opera overall

operating funds and not specific programs right

0:24:24.720,0:24:29.700

right so it can be used toward

programs but it needs to be

0:24:30.600,0:24:39.720

um no Capital funding so it needs to be

salaries um you know programs overhead uh

0:24:39.720,0:24:45.540

supplies you know things of that nature

just no Capital expenses can be included

0:24:49.800,0:24:58.980

did that answer the question yes

thank you I appreciate it okay um JB

0:25:03.060,0:25:13.500

yes thank you um I had a couple questions about

the 990. yes uh for physical sponsorship um is

0:25:13.500,0:25:22.980

it is a 990 required for the organization that is

being sponsored or are we saying that the 990 from

0:25:22.980,0:25:31.080

the physical sponsor um actually provides their

990 um just trying to get clarity around that

0:25:33.000,0:25:40.320

um Pat correct me if I'm if I'm wrong but

the 990 is for the applicant not for the

0:25:40.320,0:25:47.820

fiscal sponsor is that correct Pat yes

you're correct Jackie okay thank you

0:25:50.100,0:25:56.820

okay so what's the 990 for the actual or

because I I was on an impression that 990s

0:25:56.820,0:26:03.240

were only four 501 c3s um non-profits

so if you're being physically sponsored

0:26:04.440,0:26:07.800

um as an applicant I don't

know if we would actually have

0:26:08.520,0:26:14.460

you know a 990 because we actually are requesting

a physical sponsor does that make sense

0:26:15.300,0:26:21.120

um if we had a 990 we wouldn't need a physical

sponsor is kind of what I'm saying okay Pat

0:26:21.120,0:26:27.660

can you field that question for us uh yes hi

JB yeah your 990 could be from your physical

0:26:27.660,0:26:32.880

sponsor if that's the case we would like to see

the agreement that you have with the with your

0:26:32.880,0:26:37.740

physical sponsorship it costs most agencies

that have physical sponsors do have a written

0:26:37.740,0:26:43.200

agreement that layout roles of responsibilities

of that physical sponsor with that agency

0:26:45.420,0:26:46.440

okay thank you

0:26:49.320,0:26:57.300

all right so next question we'll take is from

Eric yes thank you Jackie uh just a clarifying

0:26:57.300,0:27:03.720

question about the operating budgets that are

required to be uploaded uh for those of us who

0:27:03.720,0:27:10.200

are on a fiscal year that is not uh January

to December in our case it's July to June so

0:27:10.200,0:27:17.700

um for example 2023 operating budget would

that be for the fiscal year 23-24 or for 22.23

0:27:18.900,0:27:35.940

foreign I would say whether um if you're

on a fiscal year um for 2020 324 22 wait

0:27:37.500,0:27:42.300

um just the last three years your current

operating budget your operating budget from

0:27:42.300,0:27:48.000

last year and the one before that so however that

that works out whether that's calendar year or

0:27:48.000,0:27:54.900

fiscal year um yeah start with your current and

go back two years okay okay so we are wrapping

0:27:54.900,0:28:00.000

up a fiscal year now at the end of this month

so it would be for this current year and going

0:28:00.000,0:28:06.780

backwards not the budget that we're working on for

the for the new fiscal year that'll start July 1.

0:28:06.780,0:28:15.180

exactly you're right you're right on point

okay thank you thank you um Stephanie

0:28:17.220,0:28:25.500

yes thank you Jackie um I had two questions one

had to do with um the disbursement of the funds

0:28:25.500,0:28:33.900

if one is awarded um I maybe I missed a step when

you guys talked about the 30 percent does does

0:28:33.900,0:28:41.220

that mean the invoices that we would be submitting

would need to equal 30 of the grant award correct

0:28:41.220,0:28:46.620

okay so we need to make sure we're spending

it in that fashion okay just want to make sure

0:28:47.520,0:28:54.180

um and then the second question I came in just a

smidge late I was having issues with zoom and um I

0:28:54.180,0:29:01.200

thought I heard you say something about those you

know those categories of um of services and and

0:29:01.200,0:29:08.280

issues that you guys are interested in I wanted to

see if I thought I heard you said something like

0:29:08.880,0:29:19.320

um their suggestions are those hard and fast

categories or the three categories are are but

0:29:19.320,0:29:27.420

the the bullet points underneath are just to give

you ideas for what falls under each category so

0:29:27.420,0:29:34.080

you might be doing different work that falls

under you know those headings and that's okay

0:29:34.080,0:29:38.400

so if what you do isn't doesn't have its own

bullet point that doesn't mean that it doesn't

0:29:38.400,0:29:46.560

count it's not meant to be an exclusive list okay

great thank you so much you're welcome um Maria

0:29:52.440,0:29:58.980

sorry hi good afternoon I have a couple

of questions is this a one-time Grant or

0:29:58.980,0:30:08.400

something that we can reapply this is a one-time

Grant okay and how much time do we have is we we

0:30:08.400,0:30:15.780

have the funds uh we are awarded we have to

use the funds uh for the fiscal year that we

0:30:15.780,0:30:23.160

are in 23 24 in this case or we can extend

the amount of money for the next fiscal year

0:30:24.780,0:30:33.600

um it's one year so four four payments uh

quarterly so it's a one-year Grant okay and

0:30:33.600,0:30:39.840

for the report and this is my final question

um it needs to be something specific about

0:30:39.840,0:30:48.660

the outcome for example I am I'm in the uh

preschool uh educational area and so it's

0:30:48.660,0:30:56.760

um evidence-based assessment report data that we

have to present as an outcomes or how that works

0:30:59.100,0:31:04.980

um Nicole can you help me out with with that I

apologize I was answering a question in the chat

0:31:04.980,0:31:10.980

can you repeat the question please yes um I'm I'm

the director of preschool so for all the grants

0:31:10.980,0:31:17.580

that we already got in the past I always have to

report in base of outcomes that are evidence-based

0:31:17.580,0:31:24.000

so on assessment that are evidence-based in this

case it's the same thing how are the outcomes

0:31:24.900,0:31:30.780

um what requirement for the outcomes

on the reports that you guys asked for

0:31:30.780,0:31:36.960

yeah great question um the city has worked hard

to try to provide as much flexibility as possible

0:31:36.960,0:31:42.180

within this grant uh within the the recognition

that we are investing public dollars and have a

0:31:42.180,0:31:48.240

stewardship responsibility to do that well um

so in terms of outcomes I think you have some

0:31:48.240,0:31:53.940

flexibility to decide what that means to you

specific to your organization because all of

0:31:53.940,0:31:57.900

the nonprofits represented and funded are

probably going to do a pretty wide variety

0:31:57.900,0:32:04.740

of things and so the evidence evidence-based

requirement is not part of our guidelines but

0:32:04.740,0:32:10.500

we may have some follow-up questions for you

upon a receipt of the grantees applications

0:32:10.500,0:32:19.500

to help us arrive at a better definition

thank you of course all right uh Shamira

0:32:22.260,0:32:27.360

yeah so I just wanted to um clarify I'm vice

president of the Urban League here in Charlotte

0:32:27.360,0:32:32.580

and we are a Fiscal Agent for smaller nonprofits

that have budgets under a certain amount of money

0:32:32.580,0:32:40.440

so when they go and apply for federal grants we're

allowed to submit our 990 because they don't have

0:32:40.440,0:32:47.880

enough money to file a 9.94 an audit um so I want

to make sure in this case like just to clarify

0:32:47.880,0:32:54.720

if anybody is using a Fiscal Agent and I think

Patricia may have touched on it but um I didn't

0:32:54.720,0:33:01.620

hear the response the Fiscal Agent is allowed

to submit their 990 for the smaller non-profit

0:33:01.620,0:33:10.500

is that correct yes that is correct Samira okay

um just just as long as they have a they provide

0:33:10.500,0:33:17.160

us with the written agreement that you have with

that with the organization because a lot of the uh

0:33:17.160,0:33:24.060

organizations since they don't have a um their

501c3 there should be a written agreement that

0:33:24.060,0:33:30.720

lays out the roles and responsibilities to other

Fiscal Agent okay perfect and my last question and

0:33:30.720,0:33:35.040

I apologize because I'm doing laundry I'm sure

you hear that um my last question that I have

0:33:35.040,0:33:41.460

is in the realm of the Workforce Development under

the Community resilience Branch um is there a data

0:33:41.460,0:33:47.340

metrics that will be linked to job outcomes or do

you not have those data metric numbers as of yet

0:33:49.920,0:33:58.860

I will need to um get back to you on that no I

don't have those numbers um right yet so I'll

0:33:58.860,0:34:03.240

make a note because I just didn't know if it was

going to be based on like say if we applied and we

0:34:03.240,0:34:08.820

say that with this funding we can serve 75 people

and out of that 75 people we can make sure that

0:34:08.820,0:34:14.760

70 of them get placed into a job is that going to

be what the metrics is like do we Define what a

0:34:14.760,0:34:21.540

research and evaluation will look like for this

or do you all Define that for us Nicole can you

0:34:21.540,0:34:27.840

help us out with that you will Define that there's

just no way that we can pattern um a requirement

0:34:27.840,0:34:33.960

based on all of the wonderful things that this

group does okay does that need to be included in

0:34:33.960,0:34:37.920

the grant what the out what we anticipate the

outcomes would be if we are awarded the funds

0:34:39.840,0:34:47.220

Jackie I believe that is a question in the

application can you confirm um I will yes yeah

0:34:56.400,0:35:01.620

and while she's looking at that um and I just

want to ask about application strengtheners

0:35:02.220,0:35:06.540

um are you all looking for part letters of

partnership like we were to partner with a

0:35:06.540,0:35:10.920

smaller non-profit would that strengthen our

application or if we were to partner with say

0:35:11.940,0:35:16.020

um other Workforce Development agencies

or Consultants that are doing this work

0:35:16.680,0:35:19.380

um is that something that could strengthen

our application or would that hurt us

0:35:25.140,0:35:31.200

and and that's another question for Jackie

specific to the scoring criteria so what will give

0:35:31.200,0:35:37.500

her moment to bring that information up on letters

of partnership and participation that I don't

0:35:37.500,0:35:42.840

believe will ever hurt you um in applying for uh

grants particularly with the city of Charlotte

0:35:43.980,0:35:47.400

um in terms of if they'll strengthen

your application you'll just have to

0:35:47.400,0:35:53.040

decide if you think that is um the

the best path forward again because

0:35:53.040,0:35:56.760

this is a grant for operating funds

it's a little bit different than if

0:35:56.760,0:36:03.480

you were endeavoring as a catalyst to a new

programming or an additional non-profit so

0:36:03.480,0:36:08.100

um I don't know that the partnership is as

important for operating grants but it definitely

0:36:09.060,0:36:15.180

um would help to to address that component of

the application of where you are serving at a

0:36:15.180,0:36:20.340

spirit impact due to covid yeah because I mean

it may be a partnership where we try to employ

0:36:21.180,0:36:26.040

um employees from smaller nonprofits that can't

afford operational expenses so I just wanted to

0:36:26.040,0:36:31.260

ask before I made that a part of the application

but thank you so much great questions and I'm just

0:36:31.260,0:36:37.500

going to re-share my screen for another moment and

share the questions application questions with you

0:36:38.340,0:36:46.260

um these are available online on the um when

you go to the application portal on the right

0:36:46.260,0:36:55.260

hand side of that screen you'll see something that

says CRF application or guidelines and questions

0:36:55.260,0:37:03.540

if you click on that you'll you'll get a copy

of the guidelines and the the questions so in

0:37:03.540,0:37:09.600

the application you'll be asked to describe your

mission your programming the communities that your

0:37:09.600,0:37:17.700

organization serves um the impact of covid on the

communities that you serve you'll choose one of

0:37:17.700,0:37:28.140

the um Community resilience fund themes that most

closely aligns with your work and you'll describe

0:37:28.140,0:37:36.060

how it how it connects you'll talk about how many

people annually are served and then you'll put

0:37:36.060,0:37:41.580

in your funding amount and remember that can

be up to 30 percent of your operating budget

0:37:43.080,0:37:48.840

um your request should be proportionate to the

hardship caused by covid-19 to the community

0:37:48.840,0:37:58.560

served and so you'll want to discuss how that is

proportionate and how the dollars will be used

0:37:58.560,0:38:04.620

to support the organization in continuing

to serve vulnerable vulnerable populations

0:38:05.820,0:38:13.020

and then you'll describe your organization's

Financial situations so you'll Define

0:38:13.020,0:38:18.540

it I'm using these definitions

stable threatened or vulnerable

0:38:21.420,0:38:29.400

um how you will um stabilize or continue

stabilizing Revenue to operate past this

0:38:29.400,0:38:37.260

grant cycle so once the grant funds are expended

how will you continue on and if you require a

0:38:37.260,0:38:45.780

fiscal sponsor then you'll upload the agreement

letter and the details for that and then we talked

0:38:45.780,0:38:52.920

about the documentation so your board roster the

IRS determination letter for you or your fiscal

0:38:52.920,0:39:02.820

sponsor a copy of the agreement if applicable

and then the um either your 990 or your fiscal

0:39:02.820,0:39:10.140

sponsors 990 and then the three operating

budgets and then the arpa requirements so

0:39:10.140,0:39:17.700

your unique entity ID and expiration date

and then the application also lists the

0:39:18.720,0:39:25.140

um the payment schedule there for you

as well and the reporting requirements

0:39:30.240,0:39:37.800

okay all right so we'll continue answering

questions Ken do you want to go next

0:39:38.640,0:39:46.260

yes thank you um I'm Ken Trader with re-entry

housing Alliance the first criteria you have the

0:39:46.260,0:39:52.560

for all organizations to qualify is to serve

the public um and operating in Charlotte for

0:39:52.560,0:39:58.320

four consecutive years RHA has been a 501c3

for just over a year but we've been operating

0:39:58.320,0:40:05.820

in the community for over five years does that

work is that still qualifies yes um yes so you

0:40:05.820,0:40:13.860

don't have to be a 501c3 for four years um but

you your organization has to have been operating

0:40:14.580,0:40:19.860

um in the community for four years do I understand

the question right so you've been operating for

0:40:19.860,0:40:26.160

for the right amount of time but you haven't been

a 501c3 for the full four years correct okay yes

0:40:26.880,0:40:32.580

okay great thank you very much you're welcome

last year Pat there are a couple of questions in

0:40:32.580,0:40:40.800

the chat okay one of them can we upload 990s from

2021 and 2022 or do we need to show our operating

0:40:40.800,0:40:48.600

expense documents for those years that would be

the operating expense for those years you just

0:40:48.600,0:40:55.380

need the nine the current 990 for 2023 um and then

the operating budgets for the last three years

0:40:55.380,0:41:01.500

starting with the current year whether that's

calendar or fiscal excellent thank you and this

0:41:01.500,0:41:07.920

might be a Pat Mason question can indirect rate

be utilized to expense administrative oversight

0:41:16.200,0:41:19.320

and if we need to research that

question and come back we can well

0:41:19.320,0:41:24.240

I think it depends on what that indirect

rate is because that indirect rate is uh

0:41:26.580,0:41:30.900

yeah we'll we'll need to get back

with you on that yeah thank you

0:41:37.080,0:41:39.600

all right um Freddy

0:41:42.900,0:41:43.980

you're on mute

0:41:50.160,0:41:57.720

Betty can you unmute yourself yes I thank you

so much can you hear me now yes all right my

0:41:57.720,0:42:02.340

question goes towards um our organization

is in the 501c3 registered for more than 10

0:42:02.340,0:42:08.640

years but at this point we had to file for uh

to request a file extension for our taxes are

0:42:08.640,0:42:17.880

we still in a good condition to apply Pat

can you answer that so you requested a a

0:42:18.900,0:42:26.880

filing extension an extension to file your 990.

yes Mom that is correct yeah um can you provide

0:42:26.880,0:42:34.020

us with the extension form that you that

you had to file with yeah because you do

0:42:34.020,0:42:41.460

have to file an extension yeah yeah provide us

with that and we'll look at it yes thank you

0:42:44.760,0:42:48.960

all right so there's still some hands raised

I'm not sure if it's just that you didn't take

0:42:48.960,0:42:53.520

them down or if there's some new questions

so John or Angela do you have more questions

0:42:54.420,0:43:03.000

yeah I do actually so you said that the first

invoice is due 45 days after the contract signing

0:43:03.720,0:43:11.580

and then it's going to be for 30 of the total

if I applied for 250 which is what I'm planning

0:43:11.580,0:43:20.640

to apply for um that's 75 000 but Stephanie

was asking if we have to provide receipts

0:43:21.240,0:43:28.560

with that so I guess my question is is this

a is this a reimbursement type Grant or are

0:43:28.560,0:43:35.100

you paying the money up front and do we have

to supply receipts for seventy five thousand

0:43:35.100,0:43:42.120

dollars worth of expenditure within the first 45

days of the contract do you know what I mean I do

0:43:42.960,0:43:48.180

um so actually Nicole can we go backwards

0:43:49.800,0:43:53.040

like going forward

0:43:53.040,0:44:03.120

oh in terms of the receipts today yeah let us

let us get back to you with that the the uh

0:44:03.780,0:44:08.820

disbursements are structured in a way

to provide some cash up front and so we

0:44:08.820,0:44:14.460

probably need to think through if anything is

required to receive that first allocation we

0:44:14.460,0:44:19.800

will definitely address that uh via some follows

thank you for the great question perfect thank you

0:44:22.320,0:44:27.660

John you have another question I actually haven't

gotten to ask any yet so this is my first oh I'm

0:44:27.660,0:44:33.900

sorry that's all right um are there in I have

two large questions one is of the three themes

0:44:33.900,0:44:39.540

that you describe housing in neighborhoods equity

and inclusion sustainability and environment do

0:44:39.540,0:44:44.400

you have more explanation of what you mean

by that somewhere in the grant proposal or

0:44:45.300,0:44:49.260

because I I know you have the dot

points that are meant to be illustrative

0:44:56.580,0:45:00.720

the categories um you know they're broad

0:45:01.800,0:45:08.280

um and you can um you know depending on

what your organization does you just need to

0:45:09.480,0:45:15.600

um you know make the uh make the

case which of those three categories

0:45:16.320,0:45:23.700

um most closely aligns with what you do but you

don't have any more definitions specifically of

0:45:23.700,0:45:31.080

what you mean by for instance equity and inclusion

don't think we have I can try to put together some

0:45:31.080,0:45:38.100

definitions but no I don't have um written

definitions of those three um those three

0:45:38.100,0:45:44.700

categories but let me make a note and we'll we'll

try to explain that a little bit better that'd be

0:45:44.700,0:45:49.920

great and I have uh one other question and that

is regarding the presentation of budgets and

0:45:49.920,0:45:56.580

financials from previous years you've asked for

budgets not not actuals so do you just want to see

0:45:56.580,0:46:02.520

the act just just the budget not for the previous

three years you don't want to see what the actual

0:46:03.360,0:46:13.320

um uh receipts and expenses were against budget

just the budget Pat can you respond to that

0:46:13.320,0:46:19.500

you're shaking your head yes yeah yeah operating

budget we asked just for the operating budget but

0:46:20.160,0:46:24.720

um we probably need to go back and look at that

but we just did act just for the operating budget

0:46:25.860,0:46:29.280

okay dark you're going to have a

standardized presentation or will

0:46:29.280,0:46:34.800

you take whatever presentation we have like are

you going to provide a template for us to say

0:46:34.800,0:46:39.180

please fill this out with your expenses

so that you can compare apples to apples

0:46:40.380,0:46:46.920

no we don't have a template so to stop just

upload your your version great thank you

0:46:50.220,0:46:51.240

Ken do you have a question

0:46:56.100,0:47:00.840

that actually somebody in chat has the perfect

follow-up for me so I'm going to just read their

0:47:00.840,0:47:06.000

question what document will be required to

show operation for four years if an agency

0:47:06.000,0:47:12.540

has 501c3 for only a year so basically

how do we prove that we've been serving

0:47:12.540,0:47:20.160

the community for those four years prior to

becoming a C3 org that is a good question um

0:47:20.880,0:47:28.620

I guess you put that in your narrative

um in the the questions um and we would

0:47:29.520,0:47:34.560

I don't know how we'd we'll need to figure

out how we're going to verify verify that

0:47:35.220,0:47:41.340

um because I don't believe that there is a a

question that directly uh correlates to that

0:47:44.040,0:47:46.380

okay so that's that's to be determined

0:47:47.220,0:47:53.820

yeah we'll we'll get back to you

on on that okay all right thank you

0:47:58.440,0:48:07.500

any other questions oh yes uh JB yes so um

and then just for clarity for me just to give

0:48:07.500,0:48:16.260

a context um I'll have a social work company

and call has a social work you know although

0:48:16.260,0:48:23.520

we are definitely a health profession the North

Carolina Board requires us to register as a pllc

0:48:24.180,0:48:28.920

uh we do have a physical sponsor to help

with some of our non-profit programming

0:48:29.460,0:48:35.820

uh but I guess the question is um if our physical

sponsor is providing the 990 does that mean that

0:48:35.820,0:48:41.820

we need to provide our taxes along with it or

how does that work along with the agreement

0:48:43.920,0:48:50.340

Pat can you help with that and JB when you

say taxes what taxes are you referring to

0:48:52.560,0:49:00.000

um just our agency taxes that we pay every year

your agency taxes that you pay a year that you

0:49:00.000,0:49:07.320

that you file with the IRS or that yes correct

yeah yeah that would be that would be helpful okay

0:49:11.220,0:49:19.440

Melissa all right thank you um one great

information but two questions separate

0:49:19.440,0:49:26.400

categories one as far as operating expenses um we

typically categorize our utility waste pickup and

0:49:26.400,0:49:32.940

those types of things for our facility as a part

of our operations costs and in a large repairs

0:49:32.940,0:49:39.180

whether it's AC units or things like that for the

facility we count that as capital so is that how

0:49:39.180,0:49:48.540

you're categorizing um operating expenses not sure

about repairs Pat do you want to weigh in on that

0:49:50.280,0:49:55.800

well not repairs um week we count repairs

as as capital expenses okay so I know that

0:49:55.800,0:50:00.840

that's excluded but as far as utilities and

things like that we count that as operating

0:50:00.840,0:50:09.120

yeah same definition yes utilities would

be operating expenses okay fantastic and

0:50:09.900,0:50:15.900

oh go ahead I'm sorry oh I was just gonna say

for Capital I think we're just defining that as

0:50:16.500,0:50:25.320

um equipment um Furniture Land building stuff

like that okay great um the other question

0:50:25.320,0:50:30.900

that I have is in regard to our community

impact so as a part of the foundation we have

0:50:30.900,0:50:36.480

strategic Partners where we work with several

other organizations to partner with those

0:50:37.020,0:50:43.980

um uh groups um or in a number of different

categories so as far as our impact we need

0:50:43.980,0:50:50.100

to show any evidence of that or letters of

support for that in the Grant application packet

0:50:52.140,0:50:55.980

um I think letters uh of support are always

0:50:57.000,0:51:01.620

um good to include but they

are not required okay thank you

0:51:05.340,0:51:11.460

any other questions you know Nicole's been

kind of Fielding questions in the in the

0:51:11.460,0:51:19.260

chat are there any chat questions that we

need to to get to not currently a couple of

0:51:19.260,0:51:23.340

people have asked how they would access the

answers and we will capture the questions

0:51:23.340,0:51:28.620

answered in this workshop and additionally the

questions that we have some research to do on

0:51:28.620,0:51:34.860

into a FAQ document and we will uh post that

on the website which contains the application

0:51:34.860,0:51:39.060

link and we will also distribute that to

folks who have registered for this Workshop

0:51:43.500,0:51:47.220

all right thanks Nicole are

there any other questions

0:51:48.420,0:51:52.920

JB do you have another question

if uh future questions arise

0:51:53.640,0:52:00.780

um and we reach out um I know they have you

listed as a POC Jackie um yes yeah is that

0:52:00.780,0:52:05.580

is that what we do yeah so you can reach out

to me and I'll research and get back to you

0:52:06.120,0:52:12.180

um follow up with whomever um on our team to get

the to get the answer and I'll I'll let you know

0:52:14.940,0:52:16.440

Maria do you have another question

0:52:19.260,0:52:20.460

um so

0:52:23.700,0:52:28.500

may I ask a question please yes I

have a question I put it in the chat

0:52:28.500,0:52:35.280

actually um surrounding the 30 of your um

agency's operating budget I know you asked

0:52:35.280,0:52:41.160

for multiple years so which year do you

consider the 30 off which year would you

0:52:42.000,0:52:50.520

um use to calculate your 30 percent the

current year right Pat Jessica okay thank you

0:52:56.880,0:52:58.980

right any other questions

0:53:04.500,0:53:08.160

um there are some questions in the

chat about the three categories

0:53:09.000,0:53:13.200

um one just folks wanting to see those

again and then a specifically ask about

0:53:13.200,0:53:19.860

how an organization working for a healthy

Community cancer support.org might fit

0:53:22.020,0:53:27.540

all right so the three categories

are housing and neighborhoods

0:53:27.540,0:53:31.980

equity and inclusion and

sustainability and environment

0:53:34.440,0:53:40.260

and I can pull up if you'd like to see

the bullet points I can pull that up in

0:53:40.260,0:53:45.000

a moment and what was the second part of that

question Nicole there was somebody looking for

0:53:45.000,0:53:50.640

help categorizing uh where their agency might

fit under those three headings the agency does

0:53:50.640,0:53:55.740

and works for a healthy Community it sounds

like supporting folks experiencing cancer

0:53:57.780,0:54:02.460

that would probably fall under housing

in neighborhoods in that category

0:54:05.700,0:54:10.800

would you agree with that and

they pull up the bullet points

0:54:21.000,0:54:22.920

share my screen again

0:54:33.840,0:54:39.540

all right are you able to see that

yes ma'am all right there we go

0:54:49.520,0:54:50.520

[Music]

0:54:50.520,0:54:54.300

yeah I think the closest would

be housing in neighborhoods

0:54:57.960,0:54:58.620

you know

0:55:01.560,0:55:05.700

fostering connections um you

know vulnerable residents

0:55:06.600,0:55:09.540

strengthening families and social networks

0:55:13.980,0:55:17.820

so does does that help

0:55:24.060,0:55:29.040

that was a question from Cindy Teddy Cindy

hopefully that helped you out and as a

0:55:29.040,0:55:35.280

reminder these three categories in bold are

really what dictates eligibility of purpose

0:55:35.280,0:55:41.160

for the grant all of the dots underneath

of that as Jackie shared are just kind of

0:55:41.160,0:55:46.980

ideas to help articulate what those headings

might mean it is not a complete list and it

0:55:46.980,0:55:50.820

does not mean that if you do things that

you think fit in these headings that are

0:55:50.820,0:55:55.680

outside of the bullet points provided that

you would be ineligible the three category

0:55:55.680,0:56:00.480

headings are really what was dictated by

Council and that's what we'll be going by

0:56:06.360,0:56:09.840

right so it looks like there's a couple more

questions Angela do you have another question

0:56:10.860,0:56:19.620

yeah just one more I looking at this list again I

kind of think that we fit under both housing and

0:56:19.620,0:56:26.940

neighborhood and equity and inclusion depending on

which of our various programs we're talking about

0:56:28.380,0:56:32.880

um should we just pick the

one that fits best Maybe

0:56:33.840,0:56:37.260

because my organization is big and

we do a lot of different things

0:56:39.300,0:56:43.860

yeah I would say choose the one

that you feel aligns the best

0:56:44.940,0:56:50.160

okay and then in your narrative

you can you know expand on that

0:56:50.160,0:56:55.260

and say we also you know there okay

do some work in in this other area

0:56:57.600,0:56:59.040

Maria do you have another question

0:57:01.320,0:57:09.720

uh can you send this recorder meeting or are we

going to be able to have this slideshow of oh

0:57:09.720,0:57:16.680

no yes I'll send you the slideshow and when the

meeting is posted online I'll send you the link

0:57:17.460,0:57:22.680

um to the recording and that probably will

take a couple of days for us to uh to get

0:57:22.680,0:57:28.800

that ready but I can send the slides

in the morning thank you you're welcome

0:57:33.480,0:57:35.400

all right any other questions

0:57:43.620,0:57:47.700

foreign well if there aren't any other questions

0:57:48.960,0:57:57.000

um thank you for joining us again and um we

will send you the slides and let you know when

0:57:57.000,0:58:03.660

the link is posted uh for the recording and we

look forward to receiving your applications and

0:58:03.660,0:58:09.000

learning more about your your organizations and

the great work that you're doing in the community

0:58:10.080,0:58:15.960

Becky one more question in the chat here that

I missed um city council did not adopt specific

0:58:15.960,0:58:20.820

definitions of the areas of community

resilience you are correct John Quillen

0:58:25.740,0:58:26.240

right

0:58:30.000,0:58:31.680

sorry I've lost the chat box

0:58:35.400,0:58:42.720

I think we've got them all okay thank you

again to everybody and to to Jackie and Pat for

0:58:42.720,0:58:46.080

um ensuring that we've got a

great application and process here

0:58:48.000,0:58:55.380

yes Melissa if you have additional questions

reach out to me and I will get the answer for you

0:58:55.980,0:58:58.680

oh I see another hand Lisa did you have a question

0:59:01.020,0:59:02.160

you are on mute

0:59:05.040,0:59:08.160

okay I'm so sorry that was probably

kind of my problem I couldn't find

0:59:08.160,0:59:12.720

it raise my hand but because I'm broad

because I do apologize oh so real quick

0:59:12.720,0:59:17.640

um because part of what we do we do a lot of

training mental health and wellness training

0:59:17.640,0:59:23.160

we have a support group and we use slideshows

and during the pandemic we kind of lost our

0:59:24.360,0:59:29.280

um tracking software that we do you know that

we were doing at the time with our measurements

0:59:29.280,0:59:34.680

so in order to get that back is that part

of capital or is that part of my expense

0:59:36.540,0:59:42.240

software I don't think would be a

capital expense Pat can you confirm that

0:59:43.080,0:59:51.600

you know software is not a chemical experience to

be more operating okay okay and then so like our

0:59:51.600,0:59:58.380

computers is that a capital is that operating

computers are capital because you have to yeah

0:59:59.220,1:00:07.200

okay okay that's what I need you to know thank

you so much um and I also saw a question flashed

1:00:07.200,1:00:12.420

on my screen about salaries so yeah salaries

are eligible under General operating support

1:00:14.940,1:00:20.280

I'm trying to take my hand down and I don't

know how to do that I'm sorry no worries

1:00:27.540,1:00:32.340

all right did we get all the questions

so yes you can use for salaries

1:00:35.820,1:00:40.980

all right well again thank you so

much for joining us tonight and

1:00:40.980,1:00:43.440

information from me tomorrow

1:00:46.560,1:00:54.900
