INTRODUCTION
Page 1
The CYCC receives an annual allotment of grant funds from the United States Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), and from the Georgia State Legislature. These grant funds are provided to prevent and control juvenile delinquency, to deinstitutionalize juvenile offenders, to provide for the total separation of juvenile and adult offenders, to establish community-based programs, and to improve opportunities for at-risk children and their families. For the spring 1999 funding cycle, the CYCC has approximately $1.3 million available for new programs. The CYCC will determine, based on program areas, which applicants receive federal or state funds.
In addition to juvenile justice funding, the CYCC will administer $43,995 in 1999 for abstinence education programs. Due to the limited amount of new funding for abstinence education, the Council will issue approximately 9-12 one-time, single-year mini grants of $5,000 or less during this grant cycle. These funds are allocated to Georgia from the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
Each program area and funding capacity is explained in detail in the accompanying 1999 Request for Proposals.
APPLICATION CRITERIA
The Children and Youth Coordinating Council will accept grant applications from state and local governments, school systems and non-profit 501 (c)(3) organizations, including religious groups that possess a 501 (c)(3) or group tax exemption status. Refer to the 1999 Request for Proposals for descriptions of eligible applicants for each program area.
DURING JANUARY 13-22, 1999, THE COUNCIL WILL SPONSOR SIX GRANT WRITING WORKSHOPS ACROSS THE STATE. PRIOR TO THE SUBMISSION OF A GRANT PROPOSAL, A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE APPLYING AGENCY MUST ATTEND ONE OF THE WORKSHOPS IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING. THOSE APPLICANTS SEEKING SECOND OR THIRD YEAR CYCC FUNDING ARE NOT REQUIRED TO ATTEND A WORKSHOP UNLESS SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION FOR A NEW PROGRAM.
Applicants must identify and provide letters of support from public and private agencies and organizations with which the applicant has or will coordinate vital project activities. These letters should be addressed to the Council Executive Director and must be submitted with the proposal.
Applications which are jointly presented from two agencies (i.e., county government and a non-profit agency) must submit an agreement between the two entities, defining who the lead applicant will be, and how paperwork will flow.
1999 CYCC Application Kit
Page 2
Non-profit organizations applying for funds must have been in existence for at least 12 months and must have their 501 (c)(3) status at the time of filing the application and must provide a certified financial statement (audit) with the application. Those organizations that do not have an audit must submit a financial compilation/summary with the application. The compilation must include the six items listed below as mandated by O.C.G.A. 50-20-3.
1. The non;.profit contractor's financial condition at the end of the previous fiscal year, including revenues and expenditures for that fiscal year.
2. An individual listing of each employee and his/her salary and reimbursable expenses.
3. A listing by category of the sources of income of the non-profit organization.
4. A listing of the source or sources of all public funds received by the non-profit contractor and the program for which the funds were received.
5. A statement (letter) by the organization's president or person responsible for the financial statements stating the accounting basis of presentation and describing any respects in which the statements were not presented on a basis consistent with the statements prepared for the preceding fiscal year.
6. A copy of the non-profit status form 501 (c)(3) issued by the Internal Revenue Service. Note: religious organizations may fall under a group tax exemption status and must provide verification from the IRS of this exemption. (Do not send a copy of the tax return or a copy of incorporation by the GA Secretary of State.)
Applicants must also certify that an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan exists which is consistent with federal guidelines for minority persons and females. This requirement is mandatory for any organization requesting $25,000 or more in grant funds and having 50 or more employees (certification included in appendix section).
Should you have any questions in completing an application for grant funds or if you need technical assistance on program development, CYCC staff is available to assist you. A telephone listing of technical staff is provided in the back of this booklet.

APPLICATION REVIEW
Page 4
Each application received by the CYCC will be reviewed to ensure that the proposed project meets the established requirements and objectives of the program area. The application will also receive a budgetary review to ensure reasonableness and allowability of costs. Applicants may be requested by CYCC staff to provide further information during the review process.
Applications will be reviewed in a competitive manner by the Council and staff based on such factors as: the seriousness and extent of the problems to be addressed; existing availability (or lack thereof) of local resources; clarity and feasibility of program design and methodology; cost effectiveness; the likelihood of permanent funding of the project; the degree of volunteer support and interagency collaboration; and compatibility with the program areas described in the 1999 Reguest for Proposals.
NOTIFICATION OF AWARDS
Applicants will be notified in writing of the Council's decision by May 31, 1999. Applicants whose projects are denied will be notified of such denial. The applicant will also be notified of the right to appeal the denial and given procedures for initiating an appeal.
GRANT AWARD AMOUNTS
Due to the limited amount of funds available, it may be necessary for the Children and Youth Coordinating Council to reduce the amount of the grant award from that requested by the applicant. In addition, the Council reserves the right to negotiate budgetary changes with the applicant prior to executing the grant award agreement. The applicant may decline to accept the amended or reduced grant award, or the applicant may request a commensurate amendment or reduction in the scope of the project.
FUND AVAILABILITY
If, during the term of the grant award, the funds appropriated for the purposes of the grant award are reduced or eliminated by the Georgia State Legislature or the United States Government, the Children and Youth Coordinating Council may immediately terminate or reduce the grant award by written notice to the grantee. However, no such termination or reduction shall apply to allowable costs already incurred by the grantee to the extent that funds are available for payment of such costs.

A. GENERAL FUNDING POLICIES for: > Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention & Treatment
> Title V Prevention
Page 5
1. The principal purpose of the Council's grant program is to provide seed money for the development of new or expanded programs serving at-risk children and youth which are to be continued permanently with local or state funding at the conclusion of Council funding.
2. Funding will usually be provided either for the initiation of new projects or for expanding the capacity of established programs. Requests for the funding of existing operating costs of established programs will not be considered.
3. One of the Council's primary objectives is to reduce th~ over-representation of minority youth in the state's secure juvenile facilities and the juvenile justice system as a whole. Programs serving minority youth are, therefore, a primary focus of the Council's grant program and will be given a high priority in funding decisions.
4. Applications providing for intensive collaboration between local organizations will be given a high priority by the Council as will programs which incorporate parenting classes or similar types of parental involvement for the parents of participants.
5. Funding cannot be provided to supplant (i.e., replace) obligations that clearly belong to local or state units of government.
6. Funding requests to establish programs that fall within the primary responsibilities of other organizations will be given a low priority in Council funding decisions.
7. Applications for educational programs operating during normal school hours at school facilities will be given a low priority in Council funding decisions.
8. Because the primary emphasis of the Council's grant program is to prevent youth from either entering the juvenile justice system or from incarceration once they have offended, requests for the funding of secure institutional programs will not be considered.
9. Council grant funds may not be utilized under any circumstances for construction purposes.
10. Programs will be funded for one-year periods renewable each year for a total of three years, unless otherwise noted in the 1999 Request for Proposals.
11. Second- and third-year continuation grants will be awarded primarily on the basis of the project's prior year(s)' accomplishments, past success in meeting the Council's administrative requirements and the degree of local commitment to continuing the program permanently at the conclusion of Council funding.
1999 CYCC Application Kit
Page 6
12. The Council will solicit applications for new programs through a competitive grants program between January 1 and March 15 of each year. Application notices will be distributed to a wide variety of child-serving agencies and organizations, and mandatory pre-application workshops will be held across the state for all interested parties. Awards resulting from this process will normally be announced by June 1 of that year.
In addition, applications for second- and third-year continuation funding only will be reviewed through a competitive process during the fall of each year.
13. The CYCC will ensure that program proposals for all congressional districts are given equal consideration during its grant review process.
14. In order to respond to specific needs as they arise, the CYCC reserves the right to designate particular funding priorities during each funding cycle.
15. Matching funds and/or in-kind services are encouraged but not required unless otherwise noted in the 1999 Request for Proposals. However, all successful thirdyear-continuation applications over $10,000 will be subject to a 25% reduction in funding from the first-year award for the project. Note: CYCC funding. in many instances. may not be sufficient to fully implement the program. Therefore. local match should be noted in the application.
16. Due to the limited amount of funds available each year, the Council reserves the right to reduce the amount of any grant award from that requested by the applicant.
17. All projects administered by a non-government entity are required to have an active advisory council composed of representative members of the community and social service professionals. Subgrantees are, however, encouraged to utilize existing organizations, such as local coalitions on children and youth, for this purpose._
18. The CYCC considers the gathering and reporting of data on program accomplishments to be critical. Evaluation findings must be included in applications for continuation (showing progress to date) and in the annual program report required after the end of each project year. Evaluation findings should demonstrate both the successful implementation of the program and the impact of the program on its participants and/or the community as a whole.
19. The CYCC requires all subgrantees to perform background investigations on all project staff and volunteers providing direct services to program participants. Discretion is left to subgrantees in determining methodology for completing background investigations, but a description of this methodology must be included in the application for funding.

2. The principle purpose of this grant program is to provide seed money for the development of new or expanded programs which are to be continued permanently with local or state funding at the conclusion of grant funding, or provide funding for one-time purchases to enhance or develop appropriate abstinence education projects.

8. Funding awarded through this program area cannot be utilized in any fashion for family planning purposes.
CONTINUATION FUNDING POLICIES
Although a project may anticipate funding for a three-year period, it must annually submit a proposal and compete for funding. Initial funding is no guarantee of continued funding. An annual submission will allow a project to improve or modify its objectives or activities and to be assessed to the degree in which it has succeeded in reaching its annual objectives. Continuation of a previously funded project will be dependent on the subgrantee's ability to:
(1) demonstrate the project's prior year(s)' accomplishments;
(2) show that the project is addressing a high priority CYCC problem area; and
(3) demonstrate strong likelihood that the project will be continued beyond CYCC funding.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING PROJECT NARRATIVE
The following information provides a description of the necessary components to be contained in the project narrative portion of your proposal. The entire project narrative must be limited to 10 pages. Please prepare the narrative in an outline form as indicated below.
I. PROBLEM STATEMENT
This section should begin with a brief description of the program's format and general purpose. The applicant should then illustrate the need for the project, providing specific local data concerning the specific problem(s) and risk factors to be addressed. Data concerning racial and ethnic composition of the population, population underage 20, child poverty rate, teen birth rate, school dropout rate, and juvenile court trends should be provided in this section. If the project targets a particular neighborhood within the county/city, specific background information should, if possible, be provided concerning that community. If possible, data should be provided concerning risk factors which may be altered as a result of the program (i.e., recidivism, school attendance rates).
The applicant may also describe existing gaps in local services for at-risk children and youth and how the proposed project will address these needs. It is not necessary for this section to be extensive. However, it should clearly define the problem(s) and risk factors targeted by the program as well as the population to be served.
II. PROGRAM GOALS
The applicant should list the program's primary goals in a clearly defined and measurable manner. Goals should relate directly to the issues and risk factors discussed in the problem statement. Whenever possible, goals should be measurable as compared to available baseline data (i.e., to improve the grades of program participants during the year; or to prevent participants from re-offending after entering the program) and must be consistent with the objectives of the specific program area described in the Council's Request for Proposals (RFP).
Program goals should usually be limited to ten or less and should consist of a combination of performance and outcome measures.
A. Performance Goals
Performance goals relate to the implementation and actual operation of the program and set standards used to determine the project's success in actually delivering services. They must include the estimated number of participants to be served annually and the projected daily capacity of the program. Performance goals may also include such things as instituting specific activities or the delivery of a specified quantity of various services. An example of performance goals for a typical program might be:
1999 CYCC Application Kit
Page 13
(1) to serve 60 youth annually during four 12-week sessions serving 15 youth at a time.
(2) to provide structured recreation and hourly tutoring sessions for all participants three evenings a week.
(3) to conduct weekly group counseling sessions.
(4) to conduct six-week parent education courses open to parents of all participants.
It is not necessary to include official performance goals for all program activities or components. The program's goals should, however, address those activities considered most crucial to intervening in the risk factors identified by the program as its primary focus.
Performance goals should be realistic and as uncomplicated as possible and must be measurable through the program's evaluation component. Although these goals should be tailored to the specific activities and target population of each project, they usually should include, at a minimum, measures relating to number of participants enrolled, number completing the program, and quantity and quality of services provided. Other performance goals may be designated to reflect the focus of individual programs.
B. Outcome Goals
Outcome goals specify the actual impact that the program expects to have on its participants and/or the community as a whole. Program outcomes should relate directly to program activities and risk factors targeted by the project. For example, a delinquency prevention program might focus_ on reducing delinquency by improving the grades and school attendance of program participants. In this instance, the program's outcome goals might be:
(1) to increase the grade point averages of program participants by at least one letter grade after they have completed the program.
(2) for program participants with histories of chronic truancy, to improve their school attendance; or, for program participants to achieve school attendance levels equal to that of the school system as a whole.
(3) to prevent participants from entering the juvenile justice system after entering the program.
1999 CYCC Application Kit
Page 14
(4) to reduce the annual number of juvenile court referrals for the county over a three-year period.
If the program focuses on working with juvenile offenders, then preventing re-offenses would be a primary outcome goal for the project. Other examples of outcome goals would be:
(1) to reduce the juvenile court commitment or detention rate;
(2) to reduce a targeted community's school dropout rate;
(3) to reduce teenage pregnancy rates;
(4) for a specified percentage of program participants, to obtain employment after completing the program;
(5) to increase self-esteem or a particular area of knowledge for program participants as measured by pre-test and post-test scores. However, increasing standardized test scores should be adopted as a goal only if applicants are confident that they will be capable of consistently conducting pre-testing and post-testing on all clients.
Outcome goals should be realistic and as uncomplicated as possible and must be measurable through the program's evaluation component. Although these goals should be tailored to the specific activities and target population of each project, they usually should include, at a minimum, measures relating to academic performance, school attendance or behavior, and juvenile court involvement. Other outcome goals may be designated to reflect the focus of individual programs.
Ill. EVALUATION PLAN
The evaluation plan should explain what data will be collected, how it will be analyzed, and who will be responsible for the data collection. For example, an evaluation plan for a delinquency prevention program might gather data on grades, school attendance and juvenile court referrals on a quarterly basis for program participants and the school system or county as a whole. These data may be analyzed by comparing program participants to themselves over time and by comparing them to the average for their community.
The evaluation plan should allow for the assessment of the program's progress in meeting each goal and should represent a balance between the need to effectively document the program's success or failure and the necessity to develop a plan that is practical and within the applicant's capacity to complete. Factors such as the extent and type of local data available and staff resources should be carefully considered in developing this plan.
1999 CYCC Application Kit
IV. METHODS AND PROCEDURES
Page 15
The applicant should describe the format and methodology to be used in the program. New programs should provide a timetable for program implementation which includes a specific implementation date. The applicant should provide a description of the program's referral process, the type and frequency of proposed activities/services and, when applicable, a tentative schedule of program operations. All of the program's components should be described as well as the project's overall format and organization. Applicants must also include a description of their current background investigations policy or plans to perform background investigations for direct service project staff and volunteers if funded.
V. PREVIOUS PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Second or third-year applications for continuation funding must provide a description of program activities and accomplishments to date. This should include a summary of program activities, the number of youth served to date and data concerning the project's progress up to the time of application in meeting its goals. This information is a crucial component of continuation applications. Applicants should also describe any problems encountered with the program's original design and corrective action taken.
This section does not apply to first-year applications for the development of completely new programs. However, first-year applications to expand or enhance existing programs should provide a summary of the organization's current structure and activities and should discuss how the proposed project would impact current services.
VI. CONTINUATION PLAN
The applicant should describe its strategy for obtaining permanent financial support for the project at the conclusion of CYCC funding. This should include a description of existing local financial and volunteer support for the project and the applicant's plan for involving other local organizations and individuals in acquiring permanent funding.

DETAILED BUDGET NARRATIVE
This section should be prepared in addition to the Detailed Budget Summary form. The purpose of this narrative is to show how the budget figures were computed and how budgeted items relate to the project. The budget narrative should reflect both requested grant funds and matching funds. Source(s) of matching funds should be explained. Examples of the detail that should be included in the budget narrative are as follows:
PERSONAL SERVICES: Each staff position related to the project should be listed for a defined period of time (monthly, annually) and percentage of time to be dedicated to the project. Indicate the number of hours to be worked, cost per hour and total cost for grant period. If the position is currently on payroll, list current hours and salary with an explanation of request for additional grant funding. The basis for salary increases (continuation projects) should be included. Fringe benefits should be defined and computed separately from the salary cost.
REGULAR OPERATING: List each items in this category by major types (i.e., supplies, educational materials, snacks, etc.) showing basis for computation.
TRAVEL: Purpose of travel and estimated cost of each trip must be documented. Travel reimbursement should be indicated at cost per mile. (i.e., 1000 miles x .25 per mile = $250). Registration fees, admission fees and food related to field trips should be listed under Regular Operating.
EQUIPMENT: If the budget includes acquisition of equipment, a list of each equipment item and amount budgeted for each item must be included. Justification for equipment acquisition also must be included.
PER DIEM, FEES & CONTRACTS: List consultants/stipends/contracts by name (if known), rate of pay, time period, total cost and purpose.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS: Indicate cost and purpose of requested grant funds and/or matching funds for telecommunications. Please note that requested grant funds must be directly related to project cost and must not be an existing cost.
NOTE: Please use only whole dollar amounts for every entry.
There are several restrictions on the use of project funds. Refer to pages 8-9 for an explanation of unallowable expenditures. Also, the description of the grant program in the RFP may include individual restrictions.
If only a portion of the specific project is to be funded with CYCC funds, the entire project budget should be presented on the Budget Narrative, with special note made of the source(s) of funds.
LETTER OF CONSENT
