Hopkins St San Marcos, Texas 78666 Dear Diane Insley, 1303 San Antonio Street, Suite 500 Austin, TX 78701 (512) 879-6600 stdavidsfoundation,org St. David's Foundation is pleased to make a three-year grant to San Marcos Public Library in the amount of $40,000 each year for a total potential investment of $120,000 to participate in the Libraries for Health initiative (L4H). The Foundation is excited to partner with public libraries and fully center them within the public health ecosystem in this innovative pilot project. We are looking forward to working with you to fulfill the mission and goals of the Foundation and assist you in your worthy mission. Please note that grant funding is to be utilized to enable full library participation in ways that are appropriate to your library's community context and patron characteristics. Funding could be used to purchase mental health information resources, program supplies, or equipment that demonstrably support enhanced mental health programming or services; creatively communicating to your service area community about new mental health programs and services; hosting community or stakeholder meetings and programs; and the expenses of backfilling your staff time to allow them to fully and consistently participate in the Libraries for Health learning cohort. There are opportunities to further discuss the grant agreement and the Libraries for Health project in the upcoming meetings: 1) A post award meeting to discuss grant expectations and answer your questions and; 2) A project kick off call to more deeply understand your library's health related activities, building upon your grant application. As previously communicated with you, these two virtual meetings will include the Foundation staff and our Library for Health implementation partner who will be designing the mental health capacity -building activities with you. In addition, we plan to share more details around coordinating the public announcement on the L4H initiative. Thank you for postponing your own announcements. This letter and the attached Grant Agreement (the "Agreement") memorializes the terms and conditions of the Contribution. By executing the attached acknowledgement and accepting periodic payments pursuant to the Agreement, San Marcos Public Library agrees that the Contribution will be held, administered, and used in strict accordance with the Agreement and that all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement will be met orexceeded.
