Who is the One Valley Community Foundation? One Valley Community Foundation is a nonprofit organization that identifies and addresses the priorities and concerns of the Gallatin Valley, focuses resources to facilitate change, celebrates what makes this community special, and empowers community members to take active roles in shaping our shared future, because strong, vibrant strong communities don’t happen by accident. One Valley takes a holistic approach to Gallatin Valley’s needs by: 1.Championing the work of other nonprofits and supporting them through education and fundraising opportunities. 2.Facilitating giving back to the community through grants. 3.Gathering and sharing data and facilitating community conversations around important issues. Application Summary The total amount of funding requested and the breakdown between personnel, operational, and capital support One Valley Community Foundation is seeking $30,000 in personnel and operational support for our two most critical programs for City of Bozeman nonprofits during COVID-19 for January 2021-June 2021: The Southwest Montana COVID-19 Response Fund and the Nonprofit Cafe. Please see attached budget for detailed breakdown of expenses. The area of grant impact We believe that our leadership on both the Southwest Montana COVID-19 Fund and the Nonprofit Café programs support nonprofits who are serving City of Bozeman residents through: •food and shelter assistance, •mental or behavioral health assistance, •physical health or medical assistance, •and other assistance DocuSign Envelope ID: A41C6FA5-CF2B-4BE3-9B2D-E75392ED1FA2 2 The operational and funding difficulties experienced by the non-profit that have been brought on by the pandemic In the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, the One Valley Community Foundation took a significant collaborative leadership role in strengthening our nonprofit community by streamlining COVID-19 communications to Bozeman nonprofits organizations, providing free education to these organizations to help them keep their doors open through our Nonprofit Cafe and by helping area donors make a greater collective impact on the COVID-19 pandemic crisis through the Southwest Montana COVID-19 Response Fund. This crisis response work was not in our budget and we did not take any administrative fee for these programs. From March – December 2020, One Valley has absorbed these unbudgeted staffing expenses to support critical nonprofit programming that is strengthening our nonprofit sector. We are asking the City of Bozeman to support a portion of the staffing costs for this crisis response work for January – June 2021. Two primary ways that One Valley has supported the City of Bozeman residents, nonprofit and philanthropic sector during the pandemic 1.Southwest Montana COVID-19 Fund: In March, the One Valley Community Foundation launched this fund in partnership with Greater Gallatin United Way. To date, our organizations raised and distributed $517,294 to 62 nonprofits to provide flexible resources to organizations working with individuals and populations disproportionately impacted by coronavirus and the health and economic consequences of this outbreak. While this Fund supported Gallatin, Park, Madison and Meagher counties, the majority of these grant recipients were located in and serving the City of Bozeman. Approximately 87.7% of total funding from this SWMT COVID-19 Response Fund went to Bozeman nonprofits. As a result, countless City of Bozeman residents were impacted by our fund through the nonprofit grantees who kept their doors open to provide shelter, meals, access to mental health support, and much more. Launching a new collaborative grants process that was equitable, transparent and responsive was a major administrative lift for our organizations. Our organizations rapidly executed the following to make this Fund possible: a. Conducted data research on nonprofit needs through surveys b. Stewarded donations from individuals, foundations and corporations c. Created a new grant application, evaluation and grant reporting process d. Conducted research on nonprofits through follow-up conversations DocuSign Envelope ID: A41C6FA5-CF2B-4BE3-9B2D-E75392ED1FA2 3 e. Assembled a weekly meeting for a regional Donations Steering Group comprised of area nonprofit leaders, city and county leaders f. Managed the administration and financial reporting necessary to demonstrate best practices in philanthropy In Phase 1, neither One Valley Community Foundation or Greater Gallatin United Way took any administrative fee to manage this new fund. To date, One Valley has invested $16,873.52 in administrative staff costs to host this fund from March until December 2020 that has not been reimbursed. As One Valley and Greater Gallatin United Way move into Phase Two of this fund from January – June 2021, One Valley anticipates $18,000 in personnel expenses based on previous staff time allocated to this Fund by our Executive Director and Finance and Operations Manager. We are asking the Bozeman Non-Profit COVID Relief Grant Fund to offset this administrative expense for the next six months of co-hosting this fund with Greater Gallatin United Way. While the City of Bozeman’s funding is critical to nonprofits right now, we know that the need will continue after the City’s funds are expended. How the grant award will meet Bozeman’s immediate needs, as well as if the grant will have lasting impacts in our community beyond the pandemic. Funding to offset our administrative burden of co-hosting this Fund will allow us to focus on what is most important, supporting nonprofits through the COVID-19 pandemic. Our organizations would like to avoid charging an administrative fee for Phase 2 of our fund to allow 100% of donations to go directly to grantees. Our funding, data, communications, webinars and conversations with nonprofit leaders have been a critical lifeline to many nonprofits in the City of Bozeman. Our fund was established when nonprofit organizations in Bozeman needed resources immediately to keep their doors open. We believe that our Fund allowed many nonprofits to continue serving, or increasing their critical services, to residents in the City of Bozeman during COVID-19. We believe that our work on this fund will continue to have a lasting impact by stabilizing nonprofit organizations during COVID-19. 2.Nonprofit Café: During COVID-19, nonprofits have been asked to do more with less resources. Many Bozeman nonprofit leaders are overwhelmed, burned out and in need of tools to weather this unprecedented storm. At One $500,000 $18,000 $- $200,000 $400,000 $600,000 SWMT COVID Phase 2 Fundraising Goal Anticipated Admin Expenses SWMT COVID-19 Response Fund -Phase 2 DocuSign Envelope ID: A41C6FA5-CF2B-4BE3-9B2D-E75392ED1FA2 4 Valley Community Foundation, we believe that now more than ever, affordable professional development opportunities are essential to the health of the local nonprofit sector and to keep organization’s doors open. Nonprofit Cafe provides nonprofit leaders monthly professional development sessions on a variety of topics, led by local experts and thought leaders - for free. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020, we pivoted this in- person program to be fully online via Zoom. This change was not budgeted for an took considerable staff time to learn this new technology platform. Additionally, we made immediate changes to the session topics to be responsive to nonprofit’s COVID-19 needs as they were changing quickly. For example, in March, we hosted a session on nonprofit resources and best practices during COVID-19 with an HR attorney, Prospera Business Network and the Montana Nonprofit Association. In April, our session was on fundraising during COVID-19 and in May, speakers presented on nonprofits navigating their new normal. Nonprofits have told us that our free Nonprofit Café sessions have provided them an opportunity to learn about COVID-19 funding resources, HR law, unemployment support and many other critical topics to help them navigate these unprecedented times. For many nonprofit leaders, the Nonprofit Café is also a program that connects them with other nonprofit leaders and has helped them feel less alone during these isolating months. This year, our attendance for the Nonprofit Café has skyrocketed 79% from an average of 39 attendees to 70 in just one year. How the grant award will meet Bozeman’s immediate needs, as well as if the grant will have lasting impacts in our community beyond the pandemic. One Valley Community Foundation is asking for six months of support to offset our staffing costs to host the Nonprofit Café, and to keep this program free, in 2021 to support nonprofit leaders in Bozeman. When our nonprofit sector is stabilized, they are better able to serve residents of Bozeman through their critical programming. Nonprofit Café provides this important education and infrastructure to help them weather this storm. 37 39 70 0 20 40 60 80 2018 2019 2020 Nu m b e r o f P e o p l e Average Nonprofit Cafe Attendance P DocuSign Envelope ID: A41C6FA5-CF2B-4BE3-9B2D-E75392ED1FA2 Date: 12/17/2020 COVID Response Fund Phase Two Jan-Jun 2020 Project Annual Budget Six Months Budget Personnel 24,687$ 4,702$ Personnel 18,000$ Operations 14,595$ 7,298$ Operations -$ Capital Capital -$ Subtotal 39,282$ 12,000$ Subtotal 18,000$ COVID Response Fund Personnel Calculations Full Cost/Hr Subtotals Employee 1 15 26 390 40.95$ 15,968.90$ Employee 2 2 26 52 42.73$ 2,221.90$ Total Cost 18,190.80$ 30,000$ Average Hours per Week Number of Weeks Total Hours Total Funding Request Nonprofit Café Six Month Jan-Jun Grant Request DocuSign Envelope ID: A41C6FA5-CF2B-4BE3-9B2D-E75392ED1FA2
