INTRODUCTION

Page 1

The Children and Youth Coordinating Council (CYCC) solicits applications for new programs through a competitive procedure between January and March of each year. Application notices are distributed to a wide variety of child-serving agencies and organizations. Optional pre-application workshops are held across the State for all interested parties during the month of January. Awards are announced by June 1 of each year. In addition, applications for continuation funding only will be reviewed in the spring and fall of each year.
CYCC currently administers state and federal funds for programs that,
prevent and treat juvenile delinquency, support the deinstitutionalization of juvenile offenders, promote the separation of juvenile offenders from adult offenders, improve juvenile court services, target high-risk females, establish community-based programs for high-risk youth and their families, institute comprehensive youth development programs.
CYCC receives an annual allotment of grant funds from the U.S. Department of Justice (Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention) and the Georgia State Legislature. Refer to the 2006 Request for Proposals for detailed program information and instructions, eligible applicants, and funding level for each program category.
CYCC staff is available to assist you if you have questions in completing an application for grant funds. Please see our contact list provided in the back of the instruction manual for programmatic and financial technical assistance.

APPLICATION CRITERIA

Page 2

I. Grant Training (optional)
The Council will offer four (4) free pre-application workshops across the State during January 2006. CYCC program and fiscal staff will provide guidance on developing program goals and objectives, evaluation methods, budget parameters, eligible sources of match and computation, as well as other administrative requirements. Agencies seeking CYCC grant funding for the first time are strongly encouraged to attend one of the workshops. Please note this training is optional and is provided to clarify the instructions contained in the Request for Proposals and Application Kit. Refer to the CYCC web site at www.cycc.state.ga.us or call the office for dates and locations of training.
II. Letters of Support
Applicants are required to provide current letters of support from public and private agencies as well as community organizations with which the applicant will coordinate program activities. Address all support letters to the Council Director, Pete Colbenson, and submit them with the proposal. (DO NOT mail support letters separately from the application.)
III. Joint Agency Applications
Applications submitted in cooperation by two agencies (e.g., county government and a non-profit agency) are required to submit an agreement documenting the lead applicant and describing responsibilities of each agency for grant operations. The "Applicant" is the agency responsible for the overall administrative and financial management of the grant. The "Implementing Agency," if different from the Applicant, is the organization that operates the youth program on behalf of the Applicant.
IV. Non-Profit Requirements
Non-profit organizations applying for funds are required to have been in existence for at least 12 months and have 501(c)(3) status at the time of filing the grant application. Submit a copy of the most recent certified financial statement (audit) with the application. Organizations that do not have a certified financial statement are required to submit a financial compilation/summary for their most recent fiscal year. As mandated by O.C.G.A. 50-20-3, include the following six items in the compilation:
1. The financial condition of the non-profit organization 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 organization and the program for which the funds were received;

2006 CYCC Application Kit

Page 3

5. A statement (letter) by the president of the organization 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; and
6. A copy of the non-profit status form 501(c)(3) issued by the Internal Revenue Service. (DO NOT send a copy of a tax return or a copy of incorporation by the GA Secretary of State.)
V. Equal Employment Compliance
A. State and Local Governments
Certify that an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP) exists which is consistent with federal guidelines for minority persons and females. This requirement is mandatory for government entities requesting $25,000 or more in grant funds AND having 50 or more employees. If the government entity is requesting less than $25,000, a certification is not needed. However, if it is requesting $25,000 or more but has less than 50 employees, complete the certification indicating that an EEOP is not required (section 2 of the certification). The EEOP certification is located in the appendix section of this book.
B. Non-Profit Organizations, School Systems and Medical Institutions
Applicants that are non-profit organizations, school systems or medical institutions are not required to develop or submit an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan. However, all recipients of federal funds, regardless of the type of entity, must comply with all applicable non-discrimination laws and regulations as described below:
No person in any state shall, on the ground of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, or disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, be subjected to discrimination under, or denied employment in connection with any program or activity that receives federal financial assistance.
VI. Service Delivery Strategy Act Compliance
Effective July 1, 1999, every county (and cities within that county) is required to adopt a Service Delivery Strategy. The strategy is a concise implementation plan among cities and counties to provide local government services and resolve land use conflicts within the county. These strategies are submitted to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for approval, and DCA is charged with monitoring compliance.
As a result of this law, no state-administered financial assistance can be awarded to a local municipality that is not in compliance with the Act. This requirement applies to all Georgia county governments, city governments, and authorities (e.g., housing, water, and downtown development authorities). Please be aware that some cities will fall into more than one county, and all counties are required to be in compliance for the city to be eligible

2006 CYCC Application Kit

for funding. To determine whether your municipality is in compliance, you may visit DCA's web site at www.dca.servicedelivery.org. A compliance certification must be submitted by all local municipality applicants verifying eligibility. The certification is located in the appendix section of this book.

APPLICATION SUBMISSION

Submit the original grant application and two (2) additional copies of the grant application. Bind the original application and copies with a binder clip. The narrative portion of the application must follow the outline form as described in the "Instructions for Completing Project Narrative" section on page 13. The application must be submitted in the order of each checklist which applies to your organization's status (i.e., state or local government).
Postmark applications with a United States Post Office postmark or other carriers, which provide date verification (Federal Express, etc.) by March 6, 2006 and mail to the following address. METERED POSTMARKS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. If desired, proposals may be hand-delivered by 5:00 p.m. on March 6, 2006. [Directions to the CYCC office are located in the back of this book.]
Children and Youth Coordinating Council 3408 Covington Highway, 4th Floor Decatur, Georgia 30032-1513
Applicants will not receive verification from CYCC regarding receipt of the application package. Due to the anticipated large volume of applications, we ask that you do not call the office to verify receipt. Applicants wishing to verify receipt are encouraged to use a return receipt service provided by the post office or other such carriers.
An application may be rejected by CYCC for two reasons:
1. LATE SUBMISSION: It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the proposal is received by the specified deadline. NO EXCEPTIONS!
2. INCOMPLETE APPLICATION: Applications will be considered incomplete if any of the following elements are missing.

APPLICATION REVIEW

Page 5

Each application received by CYCC will be reviewed to ensure that the proposed project meets the requirements established as well as the goals and objectives of the selected program category contained in the 2006 Request for Proposals. The application will also receive a budgetary review to ensure rationale and authorization of costs. CYCC staff may request additional information during the review process.
Proposals are reviewed by CYCC staff and accepted based on accuracy, appropriateness, feasibility, and utility, as well as availability of existing local resources, future permanent funding, volunteer support, interagency collaboration and compatibility with program categories described in the 2006 Request for Proposals.

NOTIFICATION OF AWARDS

Applicants will be notified in writing of the Council's decision by May 31, 2006. Applicants not receiving funding will be notified of the right to appeal the decision and given procedures for initiating an appeal. Denied applicants will also have the opportunity to receive technical assistance on improving their application for future submission.

MODIFICATION OF FUNDS

Due to the limited amount of funds available, it may be necessary for CYCC 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, and may request a commensurate amendment or reduction in the scope of the project.
If, during the term of the grant award, the funds appropriated are reduced or eliminated by the Georgia State Legislature or the United States Government, CYCC 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 subgrantee to the extent that funds are available for payment of such costs.
A request for continuation of funding may not exceed the amount of the previous year's award.

2006 CYCC Application Kit
GENERAL FUNDING POLICIES

Page 6

1. CYCC seeks to fund the initiation of new projects or expand established programs that serve high-risk youth. CYCC will not consider funding established programs with existing operational costs.
2. The primary emphasis of the Council's grant program is to prevent youth from entering the juvenile justice system or having youth incarcerated once they have offended. Applications that request funding for secure institutional programs will not be considered.
3. CYCC reserves the right to designate particular funding priorities during each funding cycle.
4. Gathering and reporting of programmatic data are critical. CYCC requires that evaluation findings be included in applications for continuation (demonstrating progress to date) as well as in the final annual evaluation report due at the end of each project year. Evaluation findings illustrate both successful implementation and program impact on participants and/or the community as a whole.
5. One of the Council's primary objectives is to reduce the over-representation of minority youth in the State's secure juvenile facilities and the juvenile justice system as a whole. Therefore, a high priority rating will be given to applications serving minority youth.
6. A high priority rating will be given to applicants that promote collaboration among local organizations as well as programs that incorporate parental involvement.
7. A low priority rating will be given to programs where the proposed program falls within the primary responsibilities of the applying agency or organization.
8. A low priority rating will be given to programs that only operate during normal school hours.
9. Matching funds and/or in-kind services are encouraged but not mandated unless otherwise noted in the 2006 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. Note: CYCC funding, in many instances, may not be sufficient to fully implement the program. Therefore, additional local match (which is not mandated by the RFP Program Area) should be noted in the application.
10. Programs are funded for one-year periods renewable each year for a total of three years, unless otherwise noted in the 2006 Request for Proposals.
11. Funding will not be approved to supplant (replace) obligations that belong to state or local units of government.
12. Grant funds will not be utilized under any circumstances for construction purposes.

2006 CYCC Application Kit

Page 7

13. CYCC will ensure that each congressional district is given equal consideration during the grant review process.
14. 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. However, subgrantees are encouraged to utilize existing organizations, such as local coalitions for children and youth, for this purpose.
15. Background investigations are required on all project staff and volunteers providing direct services to program participants. It is left to the discretion of the implementing agency to determine the methodology for completing these investigations. Subsequently, it is mandatory that grant applications describe this methodology.
16. All projects are required to establish and enforce an Internet Security Policy when minor participants and/or staff have access (supervised or unsupervised) to the Internet. This includes any technology provided by CYCC funding and technology utilized by participants during a CYCC-funded program component.

CONTINUATION FUNDING POLICIES
A continuation proposal is required annually. An initial grant does not guarantee future funding. The annual submission allows a project to improve or modify objectives or activities as well as assess the completion of outcome measures. Continuation grants are awarded to programs that,
1. Exhibit professional management of grant funds and compliance with CYCC administrative requirements,
2. Address a high-priority CYCC program category,
3. Report accomplishments of the prior year, and
4. Demonstrate permanent continuation of the program at the conclusion of CYCC funding.

2006 CYCC Application Kit
FUNDING PROVISIONS

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING PROJECT NARRATIVE
The following information provides a description of necessary components to be contained in the narrative portion of your proposal. Limit the narrative to 10 pages and use the outline format described in this section. The narrative is a detailed statement of the work to be undertaken and answers who, what, when, where, why, and how statements of the project.
I. Problem Statement
A. What is the problem the project proposes to solve? Describe the problem and the need it will meet. Provide specific local data such as demographics, poverty rate, teen birth rate, school dropout rate, and juvenile court trends. Briefly explain program format and general purpose. If the project targets a particular neighborhood within the county/city, include specific background information. Define the size of the target population to be served. For example, if the program proposes to serve middle school students with severe academic deficiencies, specify the number of such students in the local school system.
B. Why is the project important and how can it impact youth outcomes such as recidivism, school attendance, failure rates, and teen pregnancy? Describe existing gaps in local services for high-risk children and youth and how the proposed project will address these needs. For example, if the proposed project is an after-school tutoring program, discuss the extent to which these types of programs are currently available. Similarly for probation programs, illustrate the need for such programs by describing the current availability of services for this population.
II. Program Goals
A. CYCC Performance Measure
CYCC requires output indicators and outcome indicators with a maximum limit of 10 indicators combined. All Juvenile Justice and Title V applications must include at least one CYCC Performance Measure. (See Appendix A of 2006 Request for Proposals)
B. Program Indicators
List the program indicators in a clearly defined and measurable manner. Directly relate issues and risk factors discussed in the problem statement. Whenever possible, compare the indicator to available baseline data (e.g., to improve the grades of program participants during the year; or to prevent participants from re-offending after entering the program). Be consistent with the objectives of the specific program category described in the 2006 Request for Proposals. Funded programs will be required to submit evaluation data related to each goal included in the application.

2006 CYCC Application Kit

Page 14

A. Output Indicators
Output indicators relate to the implementation and activities of the program. They provide a standard to determine service delivery. Include the estimated number of participants to be served annually and the projected daily capacity of the program. Output indicators goals may also include specific program activities, number completing the program, and/or quantity of various services. Examples of output indicators are:
I. serve 60 youth annually during four 12-week sessions that provide services to 15 youth at a time,
II. provide structured recreation and hourly tutoring sessions for all participants three evenings a week,
III. conduct weekly group counseling sessions, and
IV. provide a six-week parent education course.
Develop realistic and fundamental output indicators that can be answered by the evaluation component. It is not necessary to include indicators for all program activities or components. However, address activities that relate to the risk factors identified in the problem statement. Additional output indicators may be designed to reflect the focus of individual programs.
B. Outcome Indicators
Outcome indicators specify the impact that the program expects to have on participants and/or the community as a whole. Outcome indicators directly relate to program activities and are measurable. For example, a prevention program might focus on reducing delinquency by improving the grades and school attendance of program participants. Examples of Outcome indicators are:
I. increase the grade point averages of program participants by at least one letter grade after they have completed the program,
II. improve school attendance among program participants with histories of chronic truancy,
III. improve school attendance among program participants in order to achieve school attendance levels equal to that of the school system as a whole, and
IV. reduce the number of participants entering the juvenile justice system upon completion of the program.

2006 CYCC Application Kit

Page 15

If the target population of a program is juvenile offenders, preventing reoffenses may be a primary indicator for the project. Other examples of outcome indicators are to,

I. reduce the juvenile court commitment or detention rate,

II. reduce the proportion of out-of-wedlock pregnancy, abortion or live birth among participants upon completion of the program, and

III. increase the employment rate among participants to 75% upon completion of the program.

Develop realistic and fundamental output and outcome indicators that can be answered by the evaluation component. It is not necessary to include outcome indicators for each program activity or component. However, address activities that relate to the risk factors identified in the problem statement such as academic performance, school attendance or behavior, and juvenile court involvement. Additional outcome indicators may be designed to reflect the focus of individual programs.

III. Evaluation Plan

The evaluation plan explains what data are to be collected, how data 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 pertaining to 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 to illustrate increases or decreases of these variables as well as compare them to the averages within the community.

The evaluation plan assesses program progress and determines whether or not indicators are attained. Develop a practical plan that considers the type and amount of local data available as well as staff resources. CYCC requires that the evaluation plan address each output and outcome indicator.

IV. Methods and Procedures

Describe in detail the program design/format and the methodology. New programs are required to provide a timetable for program implementation that includes a specific implementation date (e.g., 09/01/05). Include the following information:

a) a description of the referral process for the program,

b) type and frequency of proposed activities/services,

c) days and hours the project will be operational, including summer components (if applicable), and

d) overall format and organization of the program.

2006 CYCC Application Kit

Page 16

It is essential that the overall organization of the project and the relationship of different program components be clearly described. Link program activities to one another and seek to achieve the overall program goals described in the project narrative. It is mandatory that applicants include a description of their current background investigation policy or plans to perform background investigations for direct service project staff and volunteers.
V. Previous Program Accomplishments
Programs requesting continuation funding are required to provide a description of program activities and accomplishments to date. Include a summary of program activities, the number of youth served to date, and data answering whether or not the goals were met. This information is an essential component of continuation applications. Also include a description of problems encountered with the original design of the program as well as the corrective action taken.
This section does not apply to first-year applications for the development of completely new programs. However, first-year applications that intend to expand or enhance existing programs are required to provide a summary of the organization's current structure and activities as well as discuss how the proposed project would impact current services.
VI. Additional Funding Sources
CYCC recognizes that grant funds alone, in many instances, will not be adequate to effectively operate a successful program. Please provide information on other resources available to fully implement the program. Include any additional matching funds over and above the mandated amount listed within the RFP Program Category. The funds described here may not include those previously listed in the Detailed Budget Summary and Budget Narrative portion of the application. The subgrantee will not be required to document these additional resources during the grant cycle.
VII. Continuation Plan
Describe the strategy for obtaining permanent financial support for the project at the conclusion of CYCC funding. Include a description of existing local financial and volunteer support for the project and the plan for involving other local organizations as well as individuals in acquiring permanent funding.
It is imperative that all proposals include the above seven sections in the project narrative. Failure to do so will affect the review of the application.
