 Quarterly Update: May 2008




                                              NEW CHOICES/NEW OPTIONS
                                              Sometimes a person needs to change direction in life, but doesn’t know where
                                              to begin. Since 1986, single parents, displaced homemakers and individuals
                                              interested in non-traditional (by gender) careers have been able to find needed
                                              assistance at CCAC through the New Choices/New Options (NC/NO) program.
                                              This program, while having undergone name changes and administrative changes
                                              since its inception, has provided a free career development and job readiness
                                              program to empower individuals in transition to participate fully in achieving their
                                              career, education and personal goals. Overall, the mission of NC/NO is to assist
                                              individuals in transition achieve economic self-sufficiency.

                                              Originally funded under the Perkins grant, this grant program is now funded solely
                                              at the state level under the guidance of the Pennsylvania Department of Education,

                           Once students have completed the program, a graduation ceremony is held to
                           celebrate their success. The program doesn’t end there—the students who are “job
                           ready” work with a NC/NO job developer to find employment while others enroll
                           at CCAC or other institutions for further training.

                           Throughout the years, students from all walks of life and education levels have
                           found their way to the program. The overwhelming driver for all of them was that
                           something needed to change in the direction of their lives. After coming together as
                           disparate individuals, they work together as a group to learn more about themselves
                           and the world of work. Students who have graduated from the program have
                           gone on for further education at CCAC and other institutions and have obtained
                           positions that provide sustainable wages. Past participants have found employment as
                           a full-time legislative assistant for a U.S. Senator, an income maintenance caseworker
                           in the Department of Public Welfare and even various positions with CCAC.

                           FEDERAL BUDGET TIMELINE
                           CCAC operates on a budget year that begins on July 1 and ends on June 30—but
                           not all grants begin and operate on that same calendar. The federal government’s
                           fiscal year begins on October 1. Sometimes this may get confusing, especially when
                           federal dollars are involved. The following is the timeline under which Congress
                           must take action on the federal budget. These dates are mandated in federal law, but
                           they are not always met, although they remain the goal.

                           April 15: Deadline for adoption of the conference report on the nonbinding
                           congressional budget resolution for the coming fiscal year. The resolution is
                           required to pass the House and Senate, but the president does not sign it.

                           May 15: House begins consideration of appropriation bills, even if a budget
                           resolution has not been approved.




CONTRACTS & GRANTS                               We’re More than You Know
June 10: House Appropriations Committee should complete last appropriation bill.

                     June 30: House should complete action on all 13 regular appropriations bills and
                     sends the measures to the Senate.

                     Oct. 1: The new fiscal year begins. All appropriations bills must have been approved
                     by Congress and signed by the president, or a continuing resolution to temporarily
                     fund agencies without formal appropriations must be enacted. Failure to do so can
                     cause parts of the federal government to shut down.

                     Glossary
                     Following is a listing of commonly used terms that describe various stages and
                     components of the federal budget process.

                     Appropriation—the act of Congress that enables a federal agency to spend money
                     for specific purposes. An appropriation may be for any dollar amount up to the
                     authorization level.

                     Authorization—legislation that establishes or continues the legal operation of a
                     program and usually sets limits on the amount of federal funds that may be made
                     available in any given fiscal year.

                     Budget authority—the legal permission granted by Congress to obligate funds
                     from the U.S. Treasury, usually in the form of an appropriation.

                     Budget resolution—a nonbinding agreement between the House and Senate that
                     sets the overall level of funding that will be provided through appropriations in a
                     given fiscal year.

                     Discretionary spending—the funding contained within the federal budget that is
                     distributed by Congress and the president for programs they choose to fund and for
                     which an authorization has been approved.

                     Entitlement spending—funding that the federal government is legally obligated to
                     provide to programs and individuals meeting the legal criteria for eligibility. Such
                     programs include Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare.

                     Fiscal year 2009—federal government’s budget year, which begins Wednesday,
                     October 1, 2008, and ends Wednesday, September 30, 2009.

                     Obligations—contracts and other commitments made by the federal government
                     that will require monetary outlays in the future.

                     Outlays—how much money the U.S. Treasury actually dispenses in a given
                     fiscal year.

                     Rescission—a reduction or cancellation of previously appropriated funds.

GRANT WRITING
                     As always, the Contracts & Grants office encourages you to consider writing a
                     grant. Not only can you find funding for a worthwhile project, but grant writing
                     provides an opportunity for professional development. When considering writing
                     a grant proposal, remember that each funding agency has a mission that guides
                     its grant awards. Look for grant opportunities that match both CCAC’s goals as
                     well as the funding agency’s. For example, Department of Labor funding will be
                     more interested in how the workforce is impacted with your project, while the
                     Department of Education is more interested in projects with a positive effect on
                     disadvantaged students.

FUNDING NEWS
                     Through the support of Senators Arlen Specter and Robert Casey and Congressman
                     John Peterson, CCAC will receive $454,912 in Congressionally-directed funds.
                     These awards will be used for two different projects. The U.S. Department of
                     Education provided the college with $383,187 to be used to continue providing
                     technical education courses in the northwestern region of Pennsylvania. The
                     remaining $71,725 from the U.S. Department of Labor will be used to improve
                     access to apprenticeship programs. These awards will help the college to move
                     forward its mission to prepare the region’s residents for academic, professional, and
                     personal success in our changing global society.


                     THE FINAL WORD
                     Looking for a Committee?
                     The Contracts & Grants office is looking for volunteers to serve on an advisory
                     committee. This committee is needed to assist with reviewing the current Contracts
                     & Grants handbook as well as to advise on the internal grant approval process. If
                     you are interested, send an email to grants@ccac.edu.

                     Did You Know?
                     The CCAC Contracts & Grants office’s handbook is available online. The
                     handbook includes a proposal outline, budgeting information and how to navigate
                     the CCAC process for grant proposal submission. Click on Contracts & Grants
                     Handbook to find the handbook online. Make this your first stop before writing a
                     grant proposal!

                     Remember…
                     Before entering into any contract for providing services and/or courses to an outside
                     agency or educational institution when government funds are involved, contact the
                     Contracts & Grants office. Many times, organizations are spending public grant
                     funds to purchase CCAC services and do not realize that we need to follow proper
                     procedures for compliance issues. If Contracts & Grants works with you before
                     the contract is finalized and the program begins, we are all better prepared with no
                     surprises.

                     Stop by Anytime…
                     Contracts & Grants is located in College Office. Kathy Weir is located in room 105

FEDERAL BUDGET TIMELINE CCAC operates on a budget year that begins on July 1 and ends on June 30—but not all grants begin and operate on that same calendar. The federal government’s fiscal year begins on October 1. Sometimes this may get confusing, especially when federal dollars are involved. The following is the timeline under which Congress must take action on the federal budget. These dates are mandated in federal law, but they are not always met, although they remain the goal. April 15: Deadline for adoption of the conference report on the nonbinding congressional budget resolution for the coming fiscal year. The resolution is required to pass the House and Senate, but the president does not sign it. May 15: House begins consideration of appropriation bills, even if a budget resolution has not been approved. CONTRACTS & GRANTS We’re More than You Know
  • 3. June 10: House Appropriations Committee should complete last appropriation bill. June 30: House should complete action on all 13 regular appropriations bills and sends the measures to the Senate. Oct. 1: The new fiscal year begins. All appropriations bills must have been approved by Congress and signed by the president, or a continuing resolution to temporarily fund agencies without formal appropriations must be enacted. Failure to do so can cause parts of the federal government to shut down. Glossary Following is a listing of commonly used terms that describe various stages and components of the federal budget process. Appropriation—the act of Congress that enables a federal agency to spend money for specific purposes. An appropriation may be for any dollar amount up to the authorization level. Authorization—legislation that establishes or continues the legal operation of a program and usually sets limits on the amount of federal funds that may be made available in any given fiscal year. Budget authority—the legal permission granted by Congress to obligate funds from the U.S. Treasury, usually in the form of an appropriation. Budget resolution—a nonbinding agreement between the House and Senate that sets the overall level of funding that will be provided through appropriations in a given fiscal year. Discretionary spending—the funding contained within the federal budget that is distributed by Congress and the president for programs they choose to fund and for which an authorization has been approved. Entitlement spending—funding that the federal government is legally obligated to provide to programs and individuals meeting the legal criteria for eligibility. Such programs include Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare. Fiscal year 2009—federal government’s budget year, which begins Wednesday, October 1, 2008, and ends Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Obligations—contracts and other commitments made by the federal government that will require monetary outlays in the future. Outlays—how much money the U.S. Treasury actually dispenses in a given fiscal year. Rescission—a reduction or cancellation of previously appropriated funds. source: February 18, 2008 Local/State Funding Report, Thompson.com, pg. 5 CONTRACTS & GRANTS We’re More than You Know
  • 4. GRANT WRITING As always, the Contracts & Grants office encourages you to consider writing a grant. Not only can you find funding for a worthwhile project, but grant writing provides an opportunity for professional development. When considering writing a grant proposal, remember that each funding agency has a mission that guides its grant awards. Look for grant opportunities that match both CCAC’s goals as well as the funding agency’s. For example, Department of Labor funding will be more interested in how the workforce is impacted with your project, while the Department of Education is more interested in projects with a positive effect on disadvantaged students. Basic Grant Components Abstract: concise summary n History/Background: answers where? n Need (Problem Statement) to be addressed: answers why? n Goals and Objectives/Outcomes: answers what will be accomplished? n Plan of Operation/Management n Plan: answers how? n Timeframe/Timeline: answers when? n Key Personnel: answers who? n Evaluation: answers how well? n Sustainability: answers for how long? n Budget and Budget Justification: answers how much? n source: Daphne Lewis, CFRE Director, Grants Development, Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, Council of Resource Development online presentation, April 2008.

  • 5. FUNDING NEWS Through the support of Senators Arlen Specter and Robert Casey and Congressman John Peterson, CCAC will receive $454,912 in Congressionally-directed funds. These awards will be used for two different projects. The U.S. Department of Education provided the college with $383,187 to be used to continue providing technical education courses in the northwestern region of Pennsylvania. The remaining $71,725 from the U.S. Department of Labor will be used to improve access to apprenticeship programs. These awards will help the college to move forward its mission to prepare the region’s residents for academic, professional, and personal success in our changing global society. THE FINAL WORD Looking for a Committee? The Contracts & Grants office is looking for volunteers to serve on an advisory committee. This committee is needed to assist with reviewing the current Contracts & Grants handbook as well as to advise on the internal grant approval process. If you are interested, send an email to grants@ccac.edu. Did You Know? The CCAC Contracts & Grants office’s handbook is available online. The handbook includes a proposal outline, budgeting information and how to navigate the CCAC process for grant proposal submission. Click on Contracts & Grants Handbook to find the handbook online. Make this your first stop before writing a grant proposal! Remember… Before entering into any contract for providing services and/or courses to an outside agency or educational institution when government funds are involved, contact the Contracts & Grants office. Many times, organizations are spending public grant funds to purchase CCAC services and do not realize that we need to follow proper procedures for compliance issues. If Contracts & Grants works with you before the contract is finalized and the program begins, we are all better prepared with no surprises. Stop by Anytime… Contracts & Grants is located in College Office. Kathy Weir is located in room 105 and Carol Yoannone is on the second floor in room 209. CONTRACTS & GRANTS We’re More than You Know
