We humbly request a monetary donation to the African American Advisory Alliance, our nonprofit fiscal agent, on behalf of this year’s Kwanzaa Joy Celebration. All donations received will cover the overall cost of this break-even event including Kuumba | Creative activities and Zawadi | Gifts for all attendees and donated event tickets to the community, event décor and signage, as well as several logistical requirements including volunteer badges, event insurance, etc. * What is the benefit to the City of Pomona? (An expenditure of public funds must be for primary benefit of the public agency that is making the expenditure)
This one-day celebration is based on the seven fundamental principles of Kwanzaa known as the Nguzo Saba which promotes unity within the family and community, self awareness, faith and responsibility to the future of our people and our culture. This event is both an opportunity to experience the rich African culture as well as raise awareness and educational diversity.
I, Mayor/Councilmember _______________________________, District No. _______, hereby request that the above donation/payment be made and that a finding of public benefit be determined by the City Council.
