The examples below relate to a fictional feeding program. Please keep in mind that character counts include punctuation and spaces. 1.In 500 characters,what is the community need the program intends to fulfill?Along with the narrative,pleaseinclude data and/or citations documenting/measuring the need.* • VASH unburdens our strained law enforcement and healthcare professionals,letting them focus on primary obligations a`nd preventing them from working unpaid overtime and using personal funds to fill travelers'emergency needs—food,clothes,transport&lodging.In 2022 alone, VASH served 657 victims of crime and emergency patients.VASH's work inherently supports tourism,thus our job market and the broader • • economy,&promotes repeat business by leaving travelers with a sense of aloha and'ohana • 2.In 500 characters,what is the program goal?Describe how your program advances the CHANGE category you picked and creates a Ripple Effect of positive impact.What is the clear desired future state that correlates to the end of the one-year program period?* Weekly feedback from police,hospitals&distressed tourists clearly captures our Ripple Effect:lifesaver,safety net&guardian angles."The • impact on police&health workers'day can be profound-the difference between getting to the next patient or crime or having to handhold a traveler facing adversity.VASH's work creates a positive impression for visitors,with many expressing awe over the existence of such a program&their turn of attitude—from tragedy to recovery&a desire to return. 3.In 1,000 characters,list what resources are needed to carry out your program,effort,or initiative.What do you need in order to carry out the activities at the frequency and scale needed to achieve the outputs?These are your INPUTS.Hint:this should look similar to the narrative section of the detailed budget request and include all types of in-kind services and contributions.* To carry out our program activities at the frequency&scale needed to achieve our outputs,we are asking$25,000 from the County of Hawai'i. Our total monetary budget for this fiscal year is$173,301. Below is the breakdown of how the county monies will be spent: • PAYROLL$19,270:A portion of the West HI Program Director's salary of$9,635&East HI Program Director's$9,635. OPERATIONS$4,917:Mileage to transport&meet with visitors$2,136;training&education(primary police&hospital in-services)$1,113; cell phones$720;volunteer recruitment,training,retention$600;online survey service$348 SUPPLIES$813:Brochures$500&office supplies(ink,paper,etc.)$325 • NON COUNTY FUNDS:In-kind services direct to the visitor$40,000&TV/Radio crime prevention PSA's$19,200 HTA$130,000:Balance of payroll$75,849;balance of operations$53,326;balance of supplies$825 • • VASH CONTRIBUTION(donations/fundraising)$18,301 Total cash budget:$173,301.Total in-kind budget:$59,200 4.In 1,000 characters,list the MAJOR ACTIVITIES to be completed.To achieve the indicators you listed,what would you need to do?These action statements begin with a verb and normally includes a timeline.For example:design and collect materials for STEM kits by month 4.* Mo 1:Grow ability to loan medical equipment to injured travelers by building relationships w/healthcare supply outlets.Mo 2:Grow ability to provide emergency transportation in public transportation deserts(Waimea&Kona hospital regions)through corporate accounts w/small taxi services.Mo 4:Improve aid to medically disembarked ship travelers by rebuilding relations w/cruise lines&port authorities that were derailed by COVID-driven changes.Mo 5:Build relationships in Waimea&Kealakekua BnB communities to expand lodging options near hospitals for families of injured travelers.Month 6:Improve aid to foreign travelers by initiating partnerships w/key Oahu-based consular officers overseeing citizen services on our island.Mo 7:Build a volunteer team in Waimea&Kealakekua to service the transportation needs of hospitalized travelers.Mo 9:Help reduce tourism-related strain on our EMS system by leveraging rental car&airline contacts to distribute ocean&driving safety info. 5.in 1,000 characters,list the outputs to be completed.What are the quantifiable results of those activities that you would need to obtain in order to achieve the indicators you listed?These are OUTPUTS.Each output begins with a number and directly correlates to a specific activity. For example:delivering 100 STEM kits for students in grades K-8 by month 9.* Our planned initiatives(as described in 4B above)are expected to translate to a 10%growth in the number of distressed travelers we assist in the fiscal year 2023-2024,even if the number of visitors to the island is static.In the calendar year 2022,VASH helped 657 people-265 victims of crime,381 medical emergencies(including 21 deaths of loved ones),and 11 miscellaneous.In the 2023-2024 fiscal year,we anticipate helping 723 visitors-292 crime related,419 medical emergencies,and 12 miscellaneous. 6.In 1,000 characters,list the MEASUREABLE OUTCOMES to the public and your program participants based on your program's actions.How will you know when you are closer to your goal?What evidence would indicate this?These indicators are your measurable outcomes.Each statement should have a percentage.For example,rather than saying"we will conduct 10 community meetings"you could say"we will ensure 50%more of the target population will be better informed about XXX through pre/post surveys by month six.* According to DBEDT 2021,73.8%of Big Island visitors are repeat visitors spending an average of$1,578 each.The 657 people we served in 2022 spent approximately$1,0367,746 in revenue on the island.We conservatively estimate that 20%of the people we assist(due to our direct services)will return to the island again.This will bring at least$207,349 in future revenue to Hawaii Island. In addition,VASH provided 297 hours of service to victims of crime.Using conservative figures of$50/hour in law enforcement pay saved the County of Hawaii Police Dept.$14,850.VASH also provided 466 hours of service to visitors with medical emergencies.Again,conservative figures of$75/hour in overall healthcare worker costs translate to saving our community hospitals$34,950.in 2023-2024 we anticipate both • the hours and value will increase by 10%for both crime and medical emergencies. • VASH Hawaii Island-VAP=Visitor Assistant Program Program Budget 1.Complete the program budgetwhich clearly identifies how your organization will utilize the grant funds being sought .
