Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves the first amendment to a grant contract between the Metropolitan Government and Water Walkers, previously approved by Resolution No. RS2025-1324.
RS2025-1324 approved grants from the Nashville Public Library to 12 nonprofit organizations for the provision of free and high-quality afterschool programs through the Nashville After Zone Alliance Program. Water Walkers received $27,100.
The resolution under consideration approves an amendment to increase the value of the contract by $22,400 to $49,500. This would provide funding for 20 spots for summer programming. The grant budget exhibit would be updated accordingly.
