Hello all!
"You've been approved!" Oh how exciting those words were to hear Friday!
I was in the market looking for a tasty treat for a bbq with the other managers from the company I work for when I received THE call from Community Partners. (Quick reminder... Community Partners is an organization who works as an umbrella org. for new non-profits trying to get off the ground. The new non-profits are able to work under CP's non-profit status, enabling the new non-prof to receive funds and to further legitimize the work.) I have been in a submission and waiting process with CP regarding the research grant with UCLA. And then the call came Friday... ACA IS APPROVED!! I must have been quite the sight to other shoppers as i hopped up and down the aisles in excitement!
So, you may be wondering, "What does this all mean?". Good question! Having Community Partners operate as ACA's umbrella means ACA can receive a research grant from UCLA and further legitimizes ACA's work.
I will operate as the Project Director for the research project, working with 3 local inner-city high schools to research and document playable field space in their respected area. For more information on the project itself, please feel free to e-mail and/or call.
Overall, this is an exciting time for me personally and for ACA!! 2 years of dreaming, working, wondering is seeing some fruit. So exciting!!
Thank you all, again, for your encouragement and support! A more detailed e-mail will come soon, but I wanted to share this news with you!!
