Dear Dorothy:
On behalf of Promises for Children Community Family Support Committee, we are pleased
to inform you that the Coordinating Council of Promises has approved a grant of$300 to
Area Agency on Aging on behalf of Weld County Grandparenting Raising Grandchildren
Task Force to provide child care for your legal clinics and community resource fair at the
Rodarte Center and in Fort Lupton.
Your proposal was one of four programs receiving funding through our recent Request for
Proposal process. Promises for Children feels your program met our criteria and exemplifies
the kind of services we hope not only to support but expand for Weld County families.
Enclosed please find a one page agreement for this funding. Please sign and return one copy
to United Way of Weld County, keep the other for your records. As soon as we have the
returned agreement, we will send you a check for the full amount of your award.
Promises for Children looks forward to working with you this year. We will be inviting you
to a Community Family Support Meeting during the second quarter of 2003. We will want to
hear about your progress, expansion plans and how we can better work together. We hope
we can together strengthen the volunteer programs that support young children and their
families in Weld County.
If you have any questions please call Judy at United Way 353-4300.
Sincerely,
