Qualifications |am well qualified to produce successful project specification and RPOSD Measure A applications.This includes communicating project need,analytics,evaluation,and reporting — all key to outreach,networking,and strategic collaboration.|have successfully prepared grant applications that create a compelling narrative about the value of the project,reflect the views of the community,are attentive to detail,and meet the myriad requirements for a successful grant application. |am capable of preparing applications in the competitive grant categories,as well as applications to request and obtain funding for Technical Assistance Resources,Acquisition-only grants,and to obtain ‘Maintenance and Servicing’funds.|am a sole proprietor in private practice with a specialty in grant writing,fundraising strategy and program design,marketing and communications,strategic planning and staff development,board development and recruiting,and public policy analysis and advocacy —advising community-based nonprofits, public agencies,collaboratives,and philanthropists in Southern California. |am well-versed in the areas of conservation,community development and urban parks and recreation,having worked with and for organizations in that space for over 20 years.You can view my current and pastclient list on my website (www.larry-kaplan.com).|have turned around troubled non-profit organizations and started up new ones,built and maintained elected officials’offices,managed political campaigns,and have a solid understanding of the impacts of public policy.|am a problem solver,a "fixer,"and am passionate about urban communities and social justice.|am a strong writer and editor,with solid marketing communications skills. As the Los Angeles Area Director for the Trust for Public Land,a national land conservation organization,|managed its urban park program from 1998 to 2006 and was instrumental in developing a new paradigm for urban parks and playgrounds in low-income communities like those served by this program. |was the managing director of FairWarning,a nonprofit investigative news organization, responsible for all of the non-editorial functions of the website,primarily fundraising,marketing and administration. |was executive director of Workplace Hollywood,a non-profit dedicated to increasing the workforce diversity of Los Angeles’signature industry.|was the CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and helped a national civil engineering firm market its services to both public and private sector clients. My career includes serving as Regional Director for U.S.Senator Barbara Boxer,covering the state from the Tehachapi’s to the Mexican border on a range of issues and projects,during her first term.And |served a number of state and local elected officials,including L.A.Councilman Mike Woo in his first term. lam a long-time Angeleno,beginning my career in journalism,and am a graduate of the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School of Journalism.|regularly contributed to the Nonprofit Quarterly over the past few years,and currently volunteer with the Taproot and Catchafire Foundations,providing guidance,coaching and counsel to various non-profit organizations nationwide. |served on the California Board of Accountancy from 2011 to 2017,and on the Los Angeles County Local Governmental Services Commission from 2013 to 2018.In 2017,|was appointed by the Speaker of the Assembly to the Bar Examiners Committee of the California State Bar,and in 2018,|was appointed by the Board of Supervisors to the Economy and Efficiency Commission.|also chair the board of Worksite Wellness Los Angeles,a health access nonprofit working in South L.A. Approach and Innovation My approach is quite simple and straightforward,with a goal is to provide services,support, and guidance through successful implementation of a winning grant proposal. |typically start these exercises with a simple initial assessment,including a thorough analysis of the grant application guidelines,and collaborating with you to figure out the budgeting request, strategies,messaging,and elements needed to complete the application.But completion is not enough —the application will have serious competition, so must stand out.That begins with a realistic “ask”and the marriage of a compelling narrative (storytelling)and data demonstrating need for the project in the community.That’s where innovation comes in. A strong proposal is also a road map —it not only guides us,the grant seekers,to our key objectives and deliverables,but it guides the response of the grant makers by inspiring them with a vision of how much impact their funding can have on the communities they care about. My job will be to craft that map: e Recommending the best match and budget for the project with available RPOSD competitive funding opportunities. e Reviewing materials on the project,relying on city staff to assist in compiling them as we walk through the application. e Identifying any deficiency in the materials that might weaken the proposal. e Making the compelling inspirational narrative case that goes above and beyond a recitation of features. e Compiling and highlighting relevant numbers,such as demographics and poverty levels. e Providing the required support documentation. My job will involve creating a grant proposal with specific dollar amounts,benefits, deliverables,benchmarks,and goals. Tasks &Deliverables This proposal is specifically for Task 1 (Complete Grant Application),with Deliverable 1 (Complete and Timely RPOSD Measure A Competitive Grant Application). |am happy to participate in and lend strategic and tactical support for Task 2 (Identify Required Follow-up)with Deliverable 2 (Recommend Follow Up,as well as Task 3 (Identify Next Steps) with Deliverable 3 (Identify next steps to establish project viability),working closely with whoever you designate. However,this proposal does not include responsibility for,and delivery of,those services. Should you wish to have me participate in those tasks and deliverables,we will need to adjust my fee to reflect the additional work. Schedule October 7 Execution of contract with City and immediate commencement of work and consultation with appropriate city staff and/or other consultants. October 26 Application finalized and submitted to city staff for review,allowing two working days for revisions and edits.The city must make a commitment upon execution of the contractthat it will meet this interim deadline. October 28 City submits proposal by 10AM deadline Budget My fee is $2,500,inclusive of all Task 1 services and deliverables only.|do not require a retainer in advance and will invoice you on the last day of October,net ten.This agreement may be canceled by either party with five days written notice to the other party,with fees owed pro- rated.Out-of-pocket expenses —including mileage (at the current IRS rate)and parking, meeting expenses,production costs,etc.—will be invoiced without mark-up.Expenditures over $100 will require prior approval. |will devote such time in the performance of these duties as is reasonable and necessary to achieve a satisfactory result that meets practical standards,although there are no specific guarantees as to the success of this application.Should you request the additional services referenced earlier,it will require additional fees. Thank you for this opportunity to propose on this worthy project —please contact me should you need additional information.
