   • Long Time Residents
   • Millennial Residents
   • New Americans

   • New Am. Civic Integration Grant – $5000
   • 614 Beautiful Grant – not selected

6. 2025 Funding Priorities
   • Looking for more funding for the Forester
   • Implementing a new membership database
     • Will enable digital communication via email to large group
     • Can track, manage and analyze our active members
     • Could potentially manage our finances in one place
   • Modernize our technology
   • Be more intentional about how we spend our time and money as the FPCA
7. Grant Committee Needs
   • Additional funding
   • More active base w/ heavy focus on Area Reps
   • Updated and enhanced Forester – language translation editions
8.  FPCA Demographic Data
   • 1961 year founded
   • 1.4 sq. miles
   • 2900 single family homes
   • 7500 approximate residents
   • 20+ nationalities
9. An in depth discussion was held on ways to re-establish the significance of Area Reps, and review their responsibilities.
10. Quentin discussed using possible organizations like VolunteerMatch to help fill the void of volunteers when a large number are needed.
11. Quentin has a contact who works at Google, but not specifically within the Suites department. He will contact this associate who works for Google to see if they can connect us to a person within Google Workspace/Suites.

Guest Speaker: Gifting Youth Joy: Ellie Church (Treasurer) of Gifting Youth Joy. They link Franklin County residents aged 12 to 18 with holiday gifts through the help of donations and volunteers through the holiday season and beyond. The non-profit sees these youth as an important part of our community who are still young enough to need care and support but also old enough to understand the difficulties that poverty can create. Providing holiday gift assistance is a simple act of kindness that provides dignity and joy where it is lacking.  Their vision is to bring teenagers the happiness and connection to the community they want, need, and deserve. In their inaugural year, they serviced 23 families with children and teens. This year they hope to expand their reach. A basket was passed at the meeting and donations were collected. If you are interested in helping out or donating please call  (614) 547-6237 or go to their website giftingyouthjoy.org  They can also be reached at giftingyouthjoy@gmail.com or Gifting Youth Joy, PO Box 72199, Columbus Ohio, 43207
