Feedback on ReapplicationReapplication has moved through CHF’scommittee review and to the full boardFebruary 4th. Feedback to date includes:

CHF Healthy Living Committee “loves the FRCs”

FRCA’s collaboration with OMNI for evaluation is “a model we wish other grantees could use”

Health Coverage Changes

• TCHF is working on programs “refreshing” including Health Coverage

• Will fund Health Coverage through community-based initiatives

• Individual Centers can apply for HC grants in association with community partnerships

• TCHF is “committed to continuing to work with FRC’s”

Rationale for Additional Program Changes

• Youth Sports – TCHF has traditionally not funded sports because the programs tend to draw kids who are more athletic. TCHF is focusing on funding programs with a curriculum (CATCH)

• Summer Food Program - Not type of program TCHF wants to support, concerns about nutritional value of food

• Cooking Matters’ new priority audience is parents of preschoolers

• FRCA’s target for is 55% of adults served• Stipends will continue to be available for up to

three courses per year• Stipend amounts will be adjusted to reflect

the priority audience ($800 for courses for parent of preschoolers)

Cooking Matters Changes

Preparation for 2014-2015

• FRCA will provide a three week window to adjust your projections based on training and grant dates

• As we have done in the past, we will work with you to revise budgets if your outcomes were lower than expected this year

FRCA is eligible to reapply in two yearsTCHF asks that each center’s request be

less than 15% of total operating budgetFRCA will provide technical assistance

over the next two years to assist centers with raising revenue and/or planning for less TCHF funding.
