SEARCHING FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT FUNDING • County government agencies (e.g. Westchester County Youth Bureau, Senior Programs & Services, Department of Social Services, Department of Health, Planning Department/Community Development Block Grants, Westchester- Putnam Local Workforce Development Board/Youth Build ) FOUNDATIONS • Typically smaller amounts. • Less complicated to put together. • Tend to have less reporting, if any. • Thousands of private and public foundations in US. • Most have specific funding priorities (e.g. arts, education, health, underserved, geographic region) TYPES OF FOUNDATIONS • Family Foundation • Refers to any independent private foundation whose funds are managed or strongly influenced by members of the donor’s family. (e.g. Redlich Horwitz Foundation, Eugene and Emily Grant Foundation) • Family foundation comprise 40-45% of all private and community foundations. • Most are small, informal organizations that do not have web sites. • Many do not have application guidelines; you can send them a general letter of request. • Typically give to personal causes (e.g. kid’s colleges, favorite charities) TYPES OF FOUNDATIONS • Independent Foundation (Private Foundation) • Nongovernmental, non-profit, self-governed organization. • Funds are usually from a single source, such as an original donor, group of individuals pooling money, etc. • Funds are managed by board or directors. • Generally do not actively raise funds or seek public financial support. (e.g. Heckscher Foundation for Children, Carvel Foundation, American Hiking Society’s National Trails Fund, St. Faith’s House Foundation) • Can be large and usually professionally managed by a director. • Typically have carefully developed grant making strategies and criteria. • Must “pay out” approximately 5% of the market value of its assets each year. • Usually have a particular funding focus. TYPES OF FOUNDATIONS • Operating Foundation • Private foundation whose primary purpose is to conduct research, social welfare, or other programs determined by its governing body or establishment charter. • May make grants, but the amount of grants awarded generally is small relative to the funds used for the foundation's own programs. • Generally raise funds from pubic donations or fundraisers. (e.g., Helen Hayes Hospital Foundation, Jewish Federation & Foundation, Friends of the Tarrytown Library) TYPES OF FOUNDATIONS • Corporate Foundation (Company-Sponsored Foundation) • Assets are derived primarily from contributions from their for-profit business. • May maintain ties to the parent company, but is an independent entity. • Abides by same rules and regulations governing private foundations. • Differs from corporate giving programs. (e.g., Gannett Foundation, Verizon Foundation, Entergy Charitable Foundation, Bank of America Foundation, Pepsi Foundation, Dollar General Literacy Foundation ) TYPES OF FOUNDATIONS • Corporate Giving Program (Direct Giving Program / Sponsorships) • Grantmaking program administered within a for-profit corporation (often administered by marketing or public relations unit). • Does not have separate endowment; grant making closely tied to company profits. • Gifts and sponsorships go directly from the company to charitable organizations. • Often focuses grant making on communities within which the company operates. • Not subject to the same reporting requirements as corporate foundations. (e.g. Entergy, PepsiCo, TD Bank, Webster Bank, M&T Bank) l TYPES OF FOUNDATIONS • Community Foundations • Serves a specific geographic community or region. (e.g., Rockland Community Foundation, Westchester Community Foundation, Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley) • Funds usually derived from many donors but managed in a single or a few endowments. Income from the endowment is used to make grants. • Funding focus is usually

  • THIS WEEK Medicaid Provider Payment Update AAHSA
    A Life Services Network Publication June 7, 2010 Jason Speaks, Editor THIS WEEK Medicaid Provider Payment Update LSN recently got an update from HFS on the status of Medicaid provider payments. Nursing Facilities: Another $9.2 million in vouchers for April services paid last week, which brings payment for April services into group 3. Expedited Nursing Facilities: Vouchers for groups 1-2, April services are paid. HFS has sent April service voucher for expedited groups 3-7 to the Comptroller’s Office and those should pay shortly. Supportive Living Facilities (SLFs): April services for SLFs paid 5/28 from the Health Care Provider Relief Fund. Vouchers for Feb services were sent to the Comptroller’s Office on 3/29; vouchers for March services to Office on 4/28. Expedited SLFs: Paid for April services as of 5/28. LSN will continue to get the latest payment updates from HFS. Stay Tuned! AAHSA Washington Update AAHSA recently updated LSN on activities from Washington. Medicaid/ Housing/ Doc Fix/ RUGs IV fix Update: AAHSA expects a vote in the Senate this week on the “extenders” bill, H.R. 4213, which contains the 6-month extension of the increased federal Medicaid match (FMAP), new funding for the National Housing Trust Fund, prevention of a cut in nursing homes’ Part B therapy reimbursement (related to physician payment schedule) and correction of the RUGs IV effective date. The House was unable to pass this package as one bill, so they passed the doc fix separately and left the FMAP increase hanging in limbo. AAHSA is pushing for the Senate to pass the package in one piece, but it is going to be a close vote, as concern is growing on the Hill over the federal budget deficit and voter perceptions of it.

  • YEAR B in the Ages to Come
    LENTEN READER YEAR B In The Ages To Come... This year’s theme comes to us from the New Testement Reading from the fourth sunday in Lent: Ephesians 2:1-10 You were dead through the trespasses and sins in which you once lived, following the course of this world, following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work among those who are disobedi- ent. All of us once lived among them in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of flesh and senses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like everyone else. But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ-- by grace you have been saved-- and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God-- not the result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life. 1 Carl Jung, the great depth psychologist, is quoted as saying: “the foundation of all mental illness is the avoidance of true suffering.” If Jung is right, we would do well to take Lent more seriously or we may be heading dangerously close to spiritual pathology.
