Funding structure

Grants for projects. Endowment for the long work.

Project grants (closed-loop)

  • Technology development slices tied to clear outcomes (safety stack, portal, vault)
  • Documentary / movement support — Dr. Fedelman “Say His Name, Anne”
  • Tucson Youth and Peace via COPA
  • My Girl Power under the Women's Commission
  • Training cohorts, AZ Pipeline workforce pilots, safety tooling pilots with measurable use

Endowment (ongoing operations)

  • Mahalo / Mihaylo path to staff the hub and portal long-term
  • Possible LC3 formation funded by endowment rather than indefinite COPA umbrella
  • Scholarships and inclusion access
  • 24/7 monitoring capacity and secure evidence custody
  • Prior endowment figures to be refreshed from Dana's earlier materials

Narrative order for funders: who is harmed → lived stories → solutions → outcomes → funding needs → separate endowment ask. Main PDF stays 2–3 pages; detail lives in linked appendices. Endowment narrative explains ongoing operating use separately from closed-loop project grants.
