Background and Discussion:
Each year the Arapahoe County Commissioners dedicate funds to the Aid to Agencies program to support nonprofit organizations in the county. In 2021, the Board approved a revision to the Aid to Agencies program structure that designated annual funding to ten “safety net” programs in the county. The organization providing these programs receives annual Aid to Agencies funding without needing to re-apply, subject to annual appropriations.
As part of the programmatic change, safety net organizations are asked to provide a mid-year update presentation, which generally includes:
• A brief program background
• Key successes/accomplishments
• Data of people served by the program
• How the organization used or plans to use the Aid to Agencies Funding
• Any anticipated challenges
At this study session, Family Tree will provide a mid-year update and answer questions from the Board.
Fiscal Impact: None, these presentations are informal. The funds were allocated with the 2024 budget.
Alternatives: No Board action is being requested at this time.
Alignment with Strategic Plan:
☐Be fiscally sustainable

☒Be community focused
