Great Responsibility With Great Accountability
W e take donation stewardship youth and their futures. The Gamechangers fund will be administered by The Youth Table (consisting of five senior Options managers or program managers) who are appointed by and accountable to the Options Community Services Executive Team. Funds will fall into two categories – Immediate Needs and Supporting Funds. Immediate Needs are defined as those needed to address a young person’s urgent needs in the coming 24 hours, while Supporting Funds are defined as those that a young person requires over time. Examples of Supporting Funds would include: moving costs, course tuition, or special clothing seriously because we know that your donations mean the world to our and equipment for a job opportunity. The amount of each category will be set annually. To be eligible for funding, the request must be for individuals 12-27 years of age. In addition, the request must not be able to be covered through available program costs of an Options
or partner organization program. The request must also fall within any limits set for the year the funds are being sought. Whenever possible, staff will connect with former recipients of the fund and interview them on the impact of the funds they received from Options. On a quarterly basis, the Youth Table will review all requests for funds from the Options Youth Game Changers fund. Data will include recipient demographic information, the number of requests for funding, the number granted, the number of clients requiring immediate needs, the amounts of those needs, and any other information deemed appropriate. The Youth Table will also review all follow-up interviews/reports with fund recipients and note any trends that they see coming from the quarterly reports in order to make any recommendations for changes to the Executive Team.
We hope you will join our team with your financial support and become a Gamechanger in the lives of many youth for over the next decade.
