Name of Organization: Eagle County Government (department of Human Services)
Title of Project: Flexible Funding and Coaching
Amount Granted: $22,583.00
Program Description: The Eagle County department of Human Services, or DHS, recently piloted programs to
ease the cliff effect for individuals transitioning out of eligibility for the Colorado Works and Colorado Child
Care Assistance Programs. This grant will support an innovative pilot of individualized coaching and flexible
financial supports to positively impact outcomes for single mothers exiting public assistance and to help DHS
build knowledge about empowering women for workforce and life success, including economic self-sufficiency,
while also enabling them to simultaneously advance the well-being of their children. The 10 participating
women will have coaches to help build their executive functioning skills and up to $1,200 in flexible funding to
support identified goals.
WAGES Cohort Participation: As part of The Foundation's efforts to promote Women Achieving Greater
Economic Security (WAGES), we will align resources and connect our partners through the WAGES Cohort, a
group of direct service and public policy and advocacy grantees all working in different ways to support women
and families on the path to economic security through better opportunities for women to earn livable wages.
The Foundation's purpose in convening these partners is to support grantees' learning from and with one
another, to identify effective strategies and potential policy solutions to improve opportunities for women to
earn livable wages, with a particular interest in two -generation strategies for addressing poverty and
promoting prosperity, and to identify and advance a policy change that will accelerate progress toward
economic security for women and families in Colorado. The WAGES Cohort will be supported by an external
evaluation and learning partner, as well as expert facilitators.
As a WFCO direct service grantee selected in Fiscal Year 2018 (April 1, 2017 -March 31, 2018), your organization
is invited to participate in two grantee convenings annually. While input will be sought from members of the
WAGES Cohort to ensure convenings offer value for all participants, The Foundation generally expects each
convening to be one full day in which the agenda may include grantees sharing information about their
programs or priorities, collaboration with the evaluation and learning partner regarding shared goals and
monitoring of progresstoward then, learning about topics of shared interest, and opportunities for
participants to connect with one another and other WFCO stakeholders. Members of the WAGES Cohort will
be expected to share input and information with the cohort facilitators and evaluation and learning partner as
requested and to ensure at least one and up to three team members participate in each convening.
As a member of the WAGES Cohort, The Grantee will also be asked to share stories of impact with WFCO
several times annually and participate in evaluation and learning efforts in collaboration with our external
evaluation and learning partner. WFCO intends to continue partnering with and convening members of the
WAGES Cohort for three years, 2018 —2020. Grants will be awarded on an annual basis and WAGES Cohort
members will have the opportunity to re -apply with an abbreviated application and progress report on an
annual basis. WFCO will strive forthe renewal grant amount to be a similar amount to the first year but all
grantmaking amounts will be dependent on Foundation resources.
Please listthe names, titles, of the staff members that you anticipate participating in the cohort and/or
coordinating with the outside facilitator and evaluation/learning partner.
