Funding

   County of Los Alamos Funding

In May 2007, the County determined that a more formal structure would enhance the collective goal of providing quality and cost-effective youth programs.  The County issued a RFP for juvenile services and was awarded a contract for $139,225.  (See FY08 programs/services funded under RFP).  In the spring 2007, JJAB filed as a New Mexico non-profit corporation and in July 2007 received 501(c)3 status from the IRS.  JJAB is now in a better position to partner with community organizations to solicit funding for enhanced educational services and to serve new areas of need that are identified in the future.
