SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Public-Private Partnership (P3) program of the Idaho STEM Action Center provides public funding match of private donations (up to 50% of the private donation amount) to support projects
that further student learning and achievement in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Conversations with STEM Action Center staff indicate that the McCall Public Library
Expansion Project which will enable an expanded educational curriculum for youth and adults is an eligible project for the P3 program. The Library received a $10,000 grant from the
STEM Action Center in 2018 to support regional development of STEM education so has a track record of success with the grant provider.
The anticipated grant request is $50,000 which will be matched by $100,000 in private donations contributed to the Library Foundation. This minimum 1:2 match from privately sourced donations
is a grant program requirement.
Funds are awarded through the STEM P3 program throughout the fiscal year and there is no definitive grant application deadline. However, staff intend to submit the application by June
15, 2019 so the request will be considered at the beginning of the STEM Action Center’s new fiscal year.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submittal of a STEM P3 grant application for the Library Expansion Project and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
