Luke Oregon Youth Challenge Advisory Board and Foundation President 541-480-7616 The Central Oregon Youth Investment Foundation, Inc is a 501 c3 Non -Profit organization. Federal Tax ID 9310150392. 1. The Foundation is the organization that accepts and gives out funds for grant and scholarships for students in the Oregon Youth Challenge Program. The Foundation Board and volunteers do not take any funds for their service, so all funds raised go to grants and scholarships. There is a five person Board with Dennis Luke as President and Harold Ashford, CPA, as Treasurer. 2. The event we are holding is a barbecue meet and greet to be held at the Youth Challenge Facility on Dodds Road. The students will be doing the barbecue and there is no charge for the facility. We are not charging the invited guests. The students will be part of the program and we will introduce the program to invited guest and at the end invite them to help out with future funding for grants and scholarships. 3. The event will he held on May 25, 2011. We are seeking funding to cover the cost of the food. All funds raised will go towards student grants and scholarships. 4. Many of the students upon graduation, return to their communities to complete high school, find a job, or seek higher education. The jump start grants are used to allow students to purchase tools or clothes for jobs. The scholarships are used to help the students with higher education tuition or books. 5. Students from around the state are part of the Youth Challenge Program. Many are from the Central Oregon Tri -County region. The OYCP and the Foundation have helped these young people turn their lives around and become more productive citizens. 6. Depending on the number of people who attend the event, we are estimating the cost for food at around $ 300. The facility will be donated, the students will help prepare the food and members of the Oregon Youth Challenge Advisory Board will help during the event. None of the funds will be used for anything other than the food for the event. We are planning on one hundred people attending the event, but we do not have an accurate count at this time. If the County Discretionary Grant is granted, we would bill for the actual amount of the food up to a maximum of $ 300. An event we had about a year ago, raised about $ 1500 for the Foundation. 7. Thank you for your consideration.
