Title
SPECIAL EVENTS FUNDING/DONATION REQUEST PROGRAM - BI-WI “BECAUSE I’M WORTH IT!” INTERNATIONAL, INC.
BACKGROUND: Organizations or individuals seeking funding from the City of Margate must complete the Special Events Funding/Donation Request Application for Organizations or the Special Events Funding/Donation Request Application for Individuals. The amount requested cannot exceed $1,000 per organization or individual.
For requests by both organizations and individuals, the funding request must further a public purpose as determined by the City Commission. The application is included as part of the backup. The applicant advises that it does not have a copy of a completed audit to submit, because their gross receipts are “menial” and the cost of engaging a CPA to conduct the audit exceeds their available resources.
Bi-Wi “Because I’m Worth It!” International, Inc. is making this request in the amount of $1,000 for the purpose of funding a ten-week educational program for 15 students at Margate Elementary School. The program is designed to help with self-esteem by developing a positive sense of self-worth and encouraging better lifestyle choices.
RECOMMENDATION: N/A
FISCAL IMPACT: As determined by the City Commission, funded from Account City Commission - General - 001-0110-511.82-15
