April 17, 2017 <br />Clerk of City Council <br />20 Civic Center Plaza <br />Santa Ana, CA 92702 <br />Dear Clerk of City Council, <br />N <br />The YMCA of grange County would like to request $40,000 to support our financial assistance program <br />in Santa Ana. This would benefit our afterschool childcare program and youth and adults sports <br />programs at our Santa Ana Sports and Aquatics Center. <br />For afterschool childeare, this grant could be the difference in accepting or rejecting low-income <br />families wishing to enroll their children in childcare. Last year, we ran out of scholarship funds at our <br />Loma Vista site early in the year and had to turn away several families who wanted to apply due to lack <br />of funds for scholarships. <br />For the Sports and Aquatics Center, this grant could be the difference in the life of a young child who <br />may otherwise drown due to lack of safety around water training, or the difference in opportunity for <br />another child who may only be able to afford soccer with a scholarship program—like the one offered at <br />the YMCA. <br />Thank you to the City Council for taking the time to consider our proposal for funding. This funding <br />will truly make a difference in the lives of people it touches. <br />Best, <br />Sarah Steffen' <br />Grant Manager <br />YMCA OF ORANGE COUNTY <br />13821 Newport Ave. Suite 200 <br />Tustin, CA 92780 <br />ymcaoc.org <br />
