2 BACKGROUND & NEEDS Impact Statement In 2016, Operation Jump Start provided more than 500 households with school supplies, assisted multiple students with funds for college, and hosted several events promoting family, community and self-love. In 2017 we are looking to take students on a college tour, help adults find decent wage paying careers, and implement internship opportunities with various employers. Needs Statement Operation Jump Start conducted a community needs assessment. In the fall of 2016, a survey of families in rth Sarasota County was performed. This survey generated significant insight into the current and future needs of residents. Based on survey results and personal feedback, Operation Jump Start learned families are in need of career oriented jobs, a better understanding of how to get their kids to college, more family oriented events among other things. 1. $20,000 for vehicle rentals, hotels, insurance and food for college tour.2. $5,000 to award in scholarships for college.3. $10,000 to help with annual events such as school drives, toy drives and holiday festivities.4. $15,000 Annually to help rent a facility to host workshops, provide services and store supplies.5. $2,500 to provide haircuts to kids. Background Statement Operation Jump Start serves disadvantaged families in Sarasota and Manatee Counties. Our organization was founded by three Sarasota natives with more than 30 years combined experience helping rebuild communities. We work hard to provide families with tools to succeed while strengthening their households. In our brief history, Operation Jump Start has enhanced the lives of hundreds of families and more than one thousand school age kids.

4 PROGRAMS Back Packs & Brunch Description Parents are provided a school back pack full of supplies to kick start the new school year. Prospective students are given a free hair cut, select students are given school uniforms and all in attendance are given a meal for the day. In 2016 this event serviced over 300 families to include more than 500 school age children. Budget $5, Category Program Linked to Organizational Strategy Population Served Short Term Success Long Term Success Program Success Monitoring Program Success Examples Education, General/Other Elementary & Secondary Education Yes Families Children and Youth (0-19 years) Children Only (5-14 years) Operation Jump Start's goal for this program is to help alleviate the initial financial burden of school preparation from families living below the poverty level. The program is open to the community but one difficulty is determining which families are truly in need versus families taking advantage of the free help. We also have to find a way to analyze the effectiveness of the program throughout the entire school year. Based on responses from families we have learned this program allows many of its participants to be confident their children will not be at a disadvantage starting off the school year. Operation Jump Start understands this program only helps at the beginning of the school year. OJS envisions being able to serve thousands of families not only at the start of school but be able to provide a school re-supply for students every quarter. We are currently developing methods to track the participants and compare their academic progress from previous years to the years they have been in the program. One idea is to require all participants who receive items at the start of school to bring progress reports and report cards in order to receive re-supply each quarter. This information will allow OJS to assess and improve the program. Our biggest success is the expansion of community involvement and volunteers who come out to support the program. The program has grown from providing services for 50 students its first year to over 300 at the start of the school year. 4

5 Easter Truck Stop Description Operation Jump Start will make over 1,000 items to give away to kids and parents in the zip code. Members and volunteers will dress up in Easter themed costumes and drive around through out various neighborhoods passing out the give aways. We will also allow for free picture opportunities for families who may have wanted to take pictures with characters such as the Easter Bunny but were not afforded the opportunity.

In the inaugural event we were able to serve more than 300 kids in the zip code. Our goal was to provide an entertaining event to promote community involvement and unity. This event will reinstate the parade style festivities for our community enjoyed during the 80s and 90s. We monitor the success of our program through social media testimonials, photos, posts and pictures. In 2016 our event was the focus of more than 250 social media members. Our event was streamed live by various people, hundreds of photos were uploaded to social media and hundreds of testimonials of excitement, well wishes and thank yous were posted. 5

One of our biggest challenges is having adequate funding to more effectively implement our vision. Because of this our board has personally covered expenses for all projects completed our inaugural year and we have not needed to use a Profit & Loss Statement, Balance Sheet nor Income & Expense Statement. Our organization serves a location in need of 10

11 guidance on getting higher education, understanding the basic operations of everyday life, as well as being able to provide the proper necessities for their families. Many of the parents we work with have taken college courses and several of them have not even been on a college campus. With more resources we can assist these parents with learning exactly what college is, visiting a college, and making the dream of sending their children to college a reality.
