Question: Does your Community Partner rely on money or services provided by any other entity (public or private)? Are the money or services provided in a consistent and reliable manner or is the Community Partner subject to periodic application, approval, re-application, etc.? How does this consistency, or lack thereof, affect your Community Partner's operations? Do other people or organizations rely on your Community Partner for funding?
All the money needed to fund the Day Worker Center of Mountain View comes from public and private donations and grants. The money is not always consistent and it is necessary for Maria the executive director to approach businesses and other donors for contributions each year. So far the center has been able to make ends meet with the money it has been receiving. The center provides all of its services for free to their clients and does not charge for anything so there is no way for it to be self-sufficient or help to fund other organizations. I'm sure most of Maria's time is spent researching new ways to receive grants and funding.
