SUMMARY:
Attached is an Ordinance approving and authorizing the City to accept a grant in the amount of
$9,550 from the Denver Foundation to provide funds for emergency hunger relief work by the
Pueblo Food Project during the COVID-19 emergency. This Ordinance budgets and appropriates
the grant funds into Project No. CI2112. This Ordinance approves the Grant Agreement and check

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council previously approved Ordinance No. 9936 on May 24, 2021, approving a
Trailhead Grant Award, establishing Project No. CI2112, and budgeting and appropriating
grant funds to Project No. CI2112.
BACKGROUND:
The Pueblo Youth Food Council (also known as the Pueblo Fooducates) via the Pueblo Food
Project applied for emergency hunger relief funds to respond to community needs during the
COVID-19 emergency. The original grant proposal requested $20,000 from the Trailhead
Institute, but only $10,450 was awarded. The Denver Foundation, in collaboration with the
Trailhead Institute, requested to fund the remainder of the proposal, bringing the total award to
$20,000. These funds are to be used in accordance with the submitted proposal. All activities are
geared towards emergency hunger relief in Pueblo and lead by the Fooducates, overseen by the
Pueblo Food Project. The City is the fiscal sponsor for and runs the Pueblo Food Project, which
will be carrying out the activities for purposes of the grant.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no matching funds required for this grant. The City of Pueblo will receive the entire
$9,550 on behalf of the Pueblo Food Project upon passage of the Ordinance. The total grant
budget for Project No. CI2112 will become $20,000; $10,450 through Ordinance No. 9936 and
$9,550.00 through this ordinance.
