State Partnership Program Overview

YDA wants to donate to programs that support, build, and strengthen state and local chapters. The State PartnProgram is the mechanism for state organizations to request such a donation.

Here is how it works: Working with their local chapters to foster cooperation and buy-in, state presidents submdetailed application, budget, and finance plan for their organization. The YDA staff reviews all applications bapre-set criteria and makes recommendations to a committee of national and regional YDA representatives for a

Once approved, YDA and approved states enter into a mutual Memo of Understanding (MOU) regarding the sptheir program, financial obligations, and timeline. YDA will donate up to 67% of the program cost for paid caactivities; 50% for state Executive Directors; 50% for chapter building programs; and 33 - 50% for volunteer-lcampaign activities. States must raise a portion of their budget from local donors and in many cases provide a before YDA will begin funding the partnership.

State Partnership Program: New and ImprovedThe State Partnership Program continues to grow and change from the lessons learned each year. This year is different. After hearing from our state leaders and members we have made adjustments that we believe will bewelcomed. Most importantly, we made applying easier and the process more transparent.

Heres how:1. Less time filling out the application.

Instead of writing overviews and descriptions for each application you select from a list of already deprograms

2. More informed decisions, faster MOU process. The application gathers necessary information so all the committees can make more informed decisionensures that programs will be effective, cost efficient, and that approved states will actually be able to mthe financial obligations of the program speeding up the MOU process.

3. Vastly improved communications. Communication with applicants and all members of the YDA National Committee is improved. Highlideadlines, public notification of approval/denials, and program processes.

4. Application rounds based on program dates. The two rounds of applications are now based on when programs will happen. First round is for the firthe year, second for the last half of the year.

7. Notification State Organizations will be informed of these committee recommendations within 48 hours of the Comvote on programs whether or not your program was approved. They will be instructed on next steps to

8. MOU/Investment YDA and the State Organization will work together to negotiate the terms of a Memo of Understandingthe approved program. Additionally, a program budget is negotiated and subsequently approved by the

2009 State Partnership ProgramThe Application STEPS Explained

1. Online State Assessmenta. WHY: The Online State Assessments is an annual survey of state chapters. YDA uses the assessme

determine the health and progress of our state organizations, to understand what types of resources services YDA can and should be providing to our chapters, and to make informed decisions about wYDA should be making donations as a part of the State Partnership Program. Committees will relyassessments to determine how much support, financially and membership driven, your organizationprovide to any partnership.

b. HOW: The online State Assessment is available atSurvey Monkey: www.yda.org/sa .The password toaccess the assessment is:ydasa2009. It is advised that you complete the assessment in one sitting.

c. WHEN: NOW. The assessment should take about 30 minutes, as long as you take the time to gatherthe information you need ahead of time. YDA will ask for a very small update later in the year.

d. NOTES: Completion of the State Assessmentis requiredfor State Partnership Program Application, but all

state chapters are asked to fill one out. Please gather the needed information so that you can finish the assessment in one sitting this

includes: (1) a complete list of local YD chapters in your state, affiliated and unaffiliated (2) Coinformation for state officers and local chapter presidents. (3) The amount of money you raisedspent in 2008.

You are required to answer all of the questions. This includes providing YDA with a listing of chapter leaders.

Soon after you have submitted your assessment, YDA will email you a PDF copy of your answretain for your records.

2. State Operating Budgeta. WHY:Understanding your state's operating budget provides YDA and the Committees insight into

or not a partnership program is financially feasible. YDA will then be able to recommend and apprprograms only in states able to pay their portion of a program.

b. HOW:Use the provided sample budget to create your states operating budget for 2009. Do not incprograms that you are applying for in the 2009 State Partnership Program. We want to see that aftepaying for your state operating expenses you still have enough revenue to add partnership programsbudget.

c. WHEN: Your Operating Budget should be submitted after your state assessment has been completedalong with the other portions of the application. It is strongly recommended you submit all elemenyour application in advance so YDA Staff can advise you on any changes that should be made befoapplication deadline.

d. NOTES: Please review Appendix A, the Sample State Operating Budget. Feel free to use this templyou put together your budget for 2009.

All fields may not pertain to your state organizations budget, so just remove them. You shouldfeel free to add additional fields as necessary. Please be as detailed as possible.


6/17


3. State Finance Plan a. WHY:The State Finance Plan gives YDA information on how your state will raise the money neces

fund its operating budget. Additionally, YDA wants to know that there is a fundraising plan that wenable your state to have additional revenue to cover their share of the partnership. Simply put, YDadd up the amount of money you think you can raise from your finance plan, then subtract that amofrom your operating budget. The difference is a good indication of how much YDA will be willingin your organization.

b. HOW:Feel free to use the provided sample finance plan to create your states finance plan for 2009sure that the Finance Plan includes efforts to raise enough revenue to cover your States Operating Bfor 2009 and that theres additional revenue for Partnership Programs.

c. WHEN:Your State Finance Plan should be submitted after your state assessment has been completeand along with the other portions of the application. It is strongly recommended you submit all eleof your application in advance so YDA Staff can advise you on any changes that should be made beapplication deadline.

d. NOTES: Please review Appendix B, the Sample Finance Plan. In formatting your finance plan, use this

as a guide. Your finance plan should detail precisely how your state organization will fund its programs throug

fundraising events, donors, and other financial solicitations. YDA should be ONE possible donor that your organization is looking to for a donation An organi

looks to YDA for the vast majority of their funding is less likely to receive support than an organiza comprehensive finance plan.

Be realistic. Your assessment and Secretary of State records will reveal how much money you havin the past. A dramatic increase, without a good explanation for how it is possible, may be consideunlikely and dismissed as overly optimistic. In short, inflating your numbers will not be rewarded.

4. 2009 Program Applications a. WHY:In order to better streamline the SPP Application process and to ensure that YDA is best supp

approved programs, three specific types of Voter Contact campaign programs and six specific typeswith a wildcard, for Chapter Building programs have been outlined for the 2009 State PartnershipApplication.
