Division and on behalf of the city of Charlotte I

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

0:19:23.220,0:19:27.540
help you be successful with your

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
um look for some follow-up
information from me tomorrow
1:00:46.560,1:00:54.900
thanks everyone thank you thank you thank
you thank y'all very much thank you thank you
