Type of Application:: <br />Organization is based in Santa Ana and proposes to use grant funds to provide arts and <br />culture programming in Santa Ana <br />Need:: <br />$5000 <br />I am applying for:: <br />Programming Costs <br />If other please state below:: <br />n/a <br />Organization Mission and History: <br />Our mission is to empower low- income youth from diverse backgrounds to strengthen <br />self- esteem, self - discipline and their sense of accomplishment through dance, academic <br />and family programs. Our goal is to teach young people what it takes to succeed in <br />school and life. Serving the most economically disadvantaged youth in central Orange <br />County, our vision is to break the cycle of poverty in our community through <br />generational change. <br />Now in our 32nd year of changing lives through dance, we celebrate service to over <br />80,000 Orange County youth, ages 8 -18. The Wooden Floor evolved from its founding <br />as a ballet pilot project for at -risk youth to a multifaceted after - school organization with a <br />holistic focus on youth development. Our comprehensive strategy, grounded in dance <br />and mentoring relationships that last up to ten years, give low- income youth the tools <br />and guidance to follow a path out of poverty. <br />We serve 375 children ages 8 -18 annually in our year -round program. They average <br />76% girls, 24% boys; 95% Latino and 91 % low- income (HUD levels 1 -3, low to <br />extremely low income). Dance Free Weeks is our primary community engagement <br />program that exposes a broad range of children to the transformational power and joy of <br />dance. Through it, children are invited to audition for The Wooden Floor's year -round <br />program. <br />Narrative for proposed use of funds:: <br />City of Santa Ana grant funds would be used to support the sole direct program cost, <br />which are the teaching artist fees for professional dance instructors and program <br />coordinator. The Wooden Floor administrative and promotional costs, listed in the <br />budget, are not included in the grant request. <br />Supplemental Question 1:: <br />No additional resources from the City of Santa Ana are required for this program. The <br />culminating performances are held in the auditorium or playground at each school site. <br />
