BACKGROUND:
The City of Twentynine Palms has established a dedicated funding application process specifically designed for non-profit organizations seeking municipal support. In prior years, non-profit entities submitted funding requests through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application process. Following the City Council's decision to direct CDBG funds toward municipal construction projects, a separate and distinct process was created to ensure continued access to funding for community-serving non-profit organizations.
To promote awareness of the grant opportunity, information regarding the application process was disseminated to the public through press releases, targeted email communications, social media channels, and the City's official website. The application window opened on March 2, 2026, and closed on April 3, 2026.
A total of twelve (12) applications were received during the open period, representing an aggregate funding request of $196,890. As part of the review and compliance process, Staff conducted verification of each applicant's operating status and non-profit registry standing to confirm eligibility and adherence to the City's funding guidelines. The results of these verification searches have been attached to each respective application for the Council's reference.
Each fiscal year, the City designates $75,000 in its budget for contributions to non-profit organizations. This funding reflects the City's ongoing commitment to supporting organizations that provide essential programs and services to the Twentynine Palms community.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This agenda item addresses the following strategic plan goals:
A3.3: Foster partnerships with relevant foundations and/or organizations to identify and match funding needs with opportunities.
F2.1: Develop and execute an outreach and engagement strategy to determine if services are addressing the actual needs of the City's diverse community and demographics, including the Marine Corps.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
Not applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
Not applicable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City Council allocates $75,000 annually to provide funding contributions to local non-profit organizations. The continuation or discontinuation of this budget item remains at the discretion of the City Council and is subject to review during annual budget deliberations.

Section 5: Application Questions
1. iŘČÍIJĖƏÍťĖĺIJϙiŽôŘŽĖôſϙϼ500 ſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Provide an overview of your organization including a brief description, purpose/goals, and individuals/communities served.
The 29 Palms Artists' Guild was formed for the purpose of advancing the knowledge of and interest in the creative arts and for the purpose of erecting and maintaining a permanent art gallery and such other structures as may be deemed necessary in or near the community of Twentynine Palms, California and the Morongo Basin. We do our best to foster a positive spirit of cooperation and fellowship between the artist and the public by every appropriate means. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to explore their inner creativity, understanding that creativity has many forms besides painting and photography. Our monthly art receptions are open to the public without cost, so everyone can enjoy the beauty in others' creations. Twice a year Arts and Crafts Fairs present an opportunity for artists and high-end crafters to sell their work to the public. Again, providing visitors (adults and children) a chance to see creativity in motion with art demos and hands-on fun.
2. aĖŜŜĖĺIJϙťÍťôıôIJťϙϼ͔͑͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Please provide your organization’s mission statement.
3. FĖŜťĺŘƅϙЭϙ
ÍŕÍèĖťƅ ϼ͔͏͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Tell us about the history of your organization and your capacity to deliver services/programming (staƯing, partnerships, facilities, etc.).
To spread the knowledge of and interest in the creative arts through discussion, demonstration, and education for all ages. Art is in everything and that is stressed with everyone we come in contact with.
Serving artists and the community for over 75 years, the 29 Palms Art Gallery is a landmark in the City of Twentynine Palms. The Gallery is owned and operated by the 29 Palms Artists' Guild, an all-volunteer, non-profit organization founded in 1951-52 by eight distinguished artists: John Hilton, Merritt Boyer, Evelyn Hutchinson, Michael Malloy, Kirk Martin, Vera Martin, Edna Onderdonk, and Fritiof Perssons. We are the oldest arts organization in the Morongo Basin with a current membership of 235. We also the only gallery operating within a historic building.
The Gallery features monthly art exhibitions, adult and youth art education, juried exhibitions, monthly artist receptions, two annual art fairs, and fund-raising events.
The Guild partnered with the High Desert Memorial Hospital to provide art on a quarterly basis for their Healing Arts Gallery. Each November, the Gallery hosts the Joshua Tree National Park Art Expo, organized by the Joshua Tree National Park Council for the Arts. In March 2026, the Artists' Guild and 29 Palms Historical Society began working together for the support of each other's goals by actively participating in each organization's events.
We have a large courtyard with stage for our main events that include arts and crafts fair, opening art receptions, annual fund raiser, chili cook-off for Pioneer Days, and a July 4th celebration. A strong cadre of member volunteers assist at these events.
4. ŪŘŘôIJťϙŘĺČŘÍıŜϙЭϙèťĖŽĖťĖôŜϙϼ͔͏͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Tell us about your current programs and activities.
We've had an uptake in our adult and children's classes thanks to the efforts of our Education Team. An after-school program was developed with Palm Vista Elementary for art-interested children to take month-long after-school art classes when the school schedule permits. The kids and the parents love this activity, and the gallery. Classes have been on painting, mosaic art, and rock painting. Often our instructors go to the school so all students can try art. At present, art classes for adults are mosaic art (twice a year), intro to pottery, watercolor, painting, and photography. Whenever we have an art fair, there are also hands-on opportunities for children to enjoy art.
Other events are our monthly opening art receptions (free to attend), annual fundraiser, chili cook-off for Pioneer Days, and our 4th of July celebration (because we have a closeup look of the fireworks from where we are). Art exhibits are changed out monthly with different featured artists in our main galleries. Members' art is also exhibited in the Members' Gallery. Once a year we have Members' Judged Show with monetary awards for those who place 1st, 2d, and 3d. We have partnered with the 29 Palms Historical Society to assist with each other's events. Example: We will handle their upcoming art auction, and they will provide us with historical photographs for our 75th Anniversary Jubilee. Quarterly, we select artists for the High Desert Medical Center's Healing Arts Gallery.
5. ôèôIJťϙèèĺıŕīĖŜēıôIJťŜϙϼ͔͏͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Describe a few top accomplishments within the last three years (outcomes, growth, awards, community impact, etc.).
We have won the Best of the Best Award at least 3 years in a row. We were also awarded 2024 Outstanding Art Gallery in The Joshuas.
In the past there had been a negative aura at the Gallery and within the Guild. That changed with new leadership. All visitors are welcomed with big smiles and a "how can we help you" attitude. That change was evident with the first reception in which we had over 60 attendees. We've only grown since then. Everyone we see is treated with respect and courtesy. One accomplishment was the return of Chili at the Gallery in conjunction with Pioneer Days. We had an attendance of over 100 people and everyone had a great time. This is what community is about. Also, we might have set hours, but if a visitor stops by when someone is at the gallery, they are more than welcome to come in and walk around. We've made connections all over the world. One couple in particular are from France. They show up every Spring to see the gallery.

Section 6: Proposal Narrative
1. bôôîϯŘĺæīôıϙťÍťôıôIJťϙϼ͔͏͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Describe the problem or need you seeħ to solve and who is aƯected.
We need radio ads to help us get the word out. Facebook, Instagram, fliers, banners, and postcards can only do so much. Radio ads will cover the Basin and bring more people. With the exception of the art/craft fairs, the public expects entertainment at the annual fundraiser, chili cook-off, and July 4th celebrations. Entertainment averages $300 or more each time. Catering for the annual fundraiser generally run $2000 and we cross our fingers we'll recoup that with ticket sales.
Years ago, ground night lights were installed around the courtyard. Unfortunately, using the wrong wiring. We had to shut it down until we could afford to replace it.
Rough estimate $500. If it were repaired, it would make a big difference to attendees at all our events, but especially those in the evening.
This grant would allow us to pay instructors for the kids and adult classes. That would give us more instructors and more classes.
Our office has no air conditioning or heat. A mini-split would make a big difference in there for workers and visitors who come in there for assistance. At an estimated cost of $3000, we've been putting other needs above our own.
2. ŘĺŕĺŜÍīϙŪŘŕĺŜôϙЭϙiæĤôèťĖŽôŜϙϼ͔͏͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Describe the purpose and obĤectives of your proposal.
Our purpose and objectives are simple: We want to continue to build the Art Gallery's growing reputation as the best place to be. Here people can laugh, share, and learn from others. Here people are welcome and encouraged. We want to be what community is all about.
3. ĺııŪIJĖťƅϙôIJôƱťϙϼ͔͏͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Describe how this proposal will beneƱt the residents of Twentynine Palms (direct services, prevention, access, equity, quality of life, etc.).
We feel that with the improvements planned, people will see all that we have to offer.
Not just art, but also a peaceful place to sit for a bit and soak up the wonder of the desert and the pleasure of watching the animal life. What a joy it would be if individuals set up an easel on the courtyard to capture moments and beauty around them. Even when the Gallery is closed, it is still accessible. The Gallery would be a moment of calm in a world that often isn't. We feel this quiet haven would be especially pleasing for military personnel.
4. IIJťôIJîôîϙŪîĖôIJèôϙЭϙiŪťŘôÍèēϯèèôŜŜϙťŘÍťôČƅϙϼ͔͑͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ Describe your intended audience and how you will reach them (outreach methods, referral partners, marketing, accessibility considerations).
5. îîĖťĖĺIJÍīϙ>ŪIJîĖIJČϙĺŪŘèôŜϙϼ͔͑͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
List any additional funding sources you intend to utilize or have already secured for this proĤect/program (grants, donations, sponsorships, fees, in-kind, etc.).
Intended audience would be 29 Palms, the Combat Center, and the Morongo Basin.
This grant will allows us to reach them by adding radio ads for all of our events (with the exception of the monthly art reception, which is a press release). The Gallery is accessible to all and all are welcome.
At present, we are using last year's PAAC grant of $700 to pay for supplies for kids' art classes. That amount is nearly gone. We have applied for a PAAC grant this year for $1000 for kids' art supplies. We've also applied for the Military Spouses' Grant, requesting $1000 to pay for radio ads.
On occasion we receive donations from members and visitors. Admittedly, there are times some of us absorb the cost of needed items (ex: printer). There are the occasional donations (large monitor) that are blessings when one have been working on a teeny-tiny laptop.

7. IıŕÍèťϙĺċϙÍŘťĖÍīϯbĺϙ>ŪIJîĖIJČϙϼ͔͑͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
If you receive partial or no funding, what eƯect will that have on the proĤect/program deliveryϦ
Radio ads - $1200
Entertainment - $600
Food/beverage - $2000
Fliers/postcards/banners - $1000
Repair outside electrical lights - $500
Mini-split installed - $3000
Teachers - $3000
We would continue to do the best we can, focusing on bringing people in for monthly art receptions and other events. Hoping word will be spread. We wouldn't be able to have comfort in the office. The mini-split would have to go back into the Dream Folder.
Ditto with fixing the night lighting. Most individuals don't want to teach unless they are paid. That would impact our education schedule.
8. ĖŜħŜϙЭϙ

9. ŪŜťÍĖIJÍæĖīĖťƅϙīÍIJϙϼ͔͑͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Describe your plan for sustaining the proĤect/program after the grant award has been exhausted.
At this point, we don't see any risks and challenges. We are an all-volunteer non-profit organization. We will continue as we have in the past, doing the best we can. The grant will only help us continue to improve what we're currently trying to do.
We feel the grant would help us get a head-start in our financial situation. It would help us grow our account balances and we hope that will help us continue to move forward.

Section 5: Application Questions

Provide an overview of your organization including a brief description, purpose/goals, and individuals/communities served.
Founded in 1989, Animal Action League (AAL) is a low-cost, non-profit spay/neuter clinic operating in the the low and hi-desert to help reduce pet over population. AAL focuses on pet owners in under-served areas who do not have access to or cannot afford veterinary services. Addressing this need keeps pets out of shelters and off the streets. AAL also offers regular, affordable vaccine / microchips clinics, keeping pets, people and communities safe. We mainly serve the Morongo Basin, Coachella Valley and Riverside communities. We work closely with public pet owners, rescues and shelters.
2. aĖŜŜĖĺIJϙťÍťôıôIJťϙϼ͔͑͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Please provide your organization’s mission statement.
3. FĖŜťĺŘƅϙЭϙ
ÍŕÍèĖťƅ ϼ͔͏͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Tell us about the history of your organization and your capacity to deliver services/programming (staƯing, partnerships, facilities, etc.).
By actively promoting spaying and neutering, we work to alleviate the suffering that being unwanted brings to dogs and cats.
Animal Action League has been offering affordable spay/neuter in the high and low desert since 1989. With primary focus on reducing the feral cat population in the Coachella Valley, we have grown to encompass public dogs / cats and have built relationships with over 25 non-profits, rescues and local city shelters. On average we offer 200 clinics a year and spay/neuter 26 to 31 pets per clinic.
AAL is currently based out of Joshua Tree, with two mobile clinics that travel to off-site locations to provide surgery and vaccine services.
One mobile unit is leased from another non-profit since 2018. This is our primary surgical travel trailer. Our second unit is a brand new, custom designed trailer we purchased with grant funds and donations.
We currently employ 13 workers who range from office workers to medical staff and one full time veterinarian.
4. ŪŘŘôIJťϙŘĺČŘÍıŜϙЭϙèťĖŽĖťĖôŜϙϼ͔͏͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Tell us about your current programs and activities.
In 2025, we provided 5,535 surgeries,12,253 vaccines and over 2,000 nail trims. We are on track to provide more in 2026 as we have been training local veterinarians in high volume, high quality spay neuter (HVHQSN), thereby increasing our pool of clinic veterinarians. A new training program we started in 2024. Additionally, our new mobile unit has side by side surgery tables to allow our veterinarian to train other doctors, and to double our surgery capacity on days we have two trained doctors on hand.
We are currently scheduling, on average, four fully booked out clinics per week each month. In Joshua Tree alone we average around 6 clinics per month, mainly focusing on Morongo Basin residents. The remainder of the clinics each month are held in different cities in the Coachella Valley (i.e. Thermal, Coachella, Indio, Desert Hot Springs, Banning...)
Since 2016 we created the Twentynine Palms Grant, helping Twentynine Palms residents subsidize their Spay / Neuter surgical cost due to no government grants being available for city residents. The City of Twentynine Palms is the only area in the Morongo Basin where no government assistance is available. This is fully funded by Animal Action League funds.
Since 2012, AAL created the Spay Pledge Program that focuses on female dogs and cats that cannot be spayed / neutered at our facility due to restrictions but are still able to get fixed at a full-service veterinary clinic. We pledge $100 towards their surgical cost. This is fully funded by Animal Action League funds.
5. ôèôIJťϙèèĺıŕīĖŜēıôIJťŜϙϼ͔͏͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Describe a few top accomplishments within the last three years (outcomes, growth, awards, community impact, etc.).
1. We were awarded a $100,00 matching grant to build a new unit and received the $100,000 match in one gift.
2. We designed and built a brand new trailer that will allow us to train more veterinarians and increase our impact.
3. We have trained 5 veterinarians in HVHQSN techniques.
4. We have received a $100,000 grant to sponsor 20 clinics in the Coachella Valley and 5 clinics at our Joshua Tree location for our training program.

Section 6: Proposal Narrative
1. bôôîϯŘĺæīôıϙťÍťôıôIJťϙϼ͔͏͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Describe the problem or need you seeħ to solve and who is aƯected.
Twentynine Palms, like many desert communities, struggles with access to veterinary care, due to a lack of full-service veterinary clinics in the area as well as the high cost of services. This can be an added challenge for the large population of military personnel in the area. Animal Action League has been working to get donors to sponsor clinics, which allows us to offer these services for free (though we do request a $30 donation to support future clinics). Many municipalities are sponsoring clinics through grants or donations to ensure their citizens have access to this vital service.
Spay/neuter addresses the root cause of pet overpopulation, thus helping to decrease the number of animals that end up in the shelter or dumped on the street. Once animals are checked in for surgery, we offer a vaccine clinic from 10 am to 2 pm, open to all. Access to affordable vaccines keeps pets, pet owners and communities safe, especially from zoonotic diseases like rabies.
2. ŘĺŕĺŜÍīϙŪŘŕĺŜôϙЭϙiæĤôèťĖŽôŜϙϼ͔͏͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Describe the purpose and obĤectives of your proposal.
This grant would support three spay/neuter clinics for Twentynine Palms pet owners, where surgical cost is completely covered.
In February of this year, we held a clinic in Freedom Plaza, providing spay/neuter to 33 pets. During the vaccine clinic, we provided 99 vaccines, including 40 rabies and 43 distemper vaccines. We anticipate spaying and neutering approximately 100 animals with the grant funds. The grant funds would not pay for vaccines, but by virtue of making the clinics possible, we can host our regular vaccine clinic where we anticipate providing 300 low-cost vaccines.
This will help alleviate crowding at the Palms and Paws city shelter and reduce pet overpopulation in Twentynine Palms.
3. ĺııŪIJĖťƅϙôIJôƱťϙϼ͔͏͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Describe how this proposal will beneƱt the residents of Twentynine Palms (direct services, prevention, access, equity, quality of life, etc.).
This would provide direct services to the residents of Twentynine Palms. Animal Action League would strictly make appointment for city residents only and will travel to Freedom Plaza to hold clinics. This makes these services accessible to people who don't have access to or can't afford a full-service veterinary clinic. By travelling directly to Twentynine Palms it will help pet owners with mobility issues. Creating equally accessible services to any pet owner and improves quality of life for pets and their people. This will prevent over population Providing access to affordable vaccines keeps everyone safe.

5. îîĖťĖĺIJÍīϙ>ŪIJîĖIJČϙĺŪŘèôŜϙϼ͔͑͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
List any additional funding sources you intend to utilize or have already secured for this proĤect/program (grants, donations, sponsorships, fees, in-kind, etc.).
We have a website and an active Facebook and Instagram presence. AAL is known throughout the area as the provider of affordable spay and neuter. In the past, we have worked closely with Palms and Paws shelter and Pals of Palms and Paws (Twentynine Palms local non-profit) to help with scheduling, outreach and local knowledge of pet owners in need of services. These local resources make it easy for city residents to schedule appointments.
We also offer standby, so even if someone does not show up for their appointment or is turned away for medical reasons, we can fill every space with those waiting in the standby line.

If you receive partial or no funding, what eƯect will that have on the proĤect/program deliveryϦ
We will use the funds to provide three sponsored clinics for Twentynine Palms residents.
If partial funding is received, we will be able to host one or two clinics ($3600 each), depending.
If no funding is received, we will continue to work closely with Pals of Palms and Paws (non-profit) and the city shelter to fundraise for sponsored clinics for city residents and to help schedule city residents who are most in need.

Describe your plan for sustaining the proĤect/program after the grant award has been exhausted.
Weather or illness for our staff / veterinarians could cause us to re-schedule a clinic.
We are accustomed to rescheduling as we have been doing this for a while and will continue for the foreseeable future.
AAL would apply again in 2027 for city grant funding. We have also worked with non-profits who have budgeted for clinics as a way to take pressure off a municipal shelter and make sure animals are vaccinated in a timely fashion.
We will continue to set aside Animal Action League funds towards our 29 Palms Grant for city residents who need help with surgical costs.

Animal Action League
Annual Report 2025
Animal Action League (AAL) had an excellent year in 2025, showing an increase in surgeries provided and a strong bottom line.
Finances: Our strong financial position is due in part to $230,000 in grant income restricted to the purchase of a brand new, custom-designed mobile spay/neuter unit.
The unit was delivered in March and will be operational in the next few months. This new trailer will increase our capacity to provide surgeries and to train veterinarians in High Volume, High Quality Spay Neuter (HVHQSN) techniques. AAL also increased the number of donors who sponsored a clinic, as well as the amount donated which substantially increased our cash donation line. Expenses increased largely due to an increase in wages for our hard-working staƯ.
Spay Neuter Surgeries
Wellness Services
Skills Lab
In 2024, AAL began our Skills Lab program to train veterinarians in High Volume, High Quality Spay Neuter (HVHQSN) techniques. This not only ensures a deep bench of trained veterinarians for AAL to draw upon, it also provides an opportunity for any interested veterinarian to learn these techniques from our own Dr. Hermann (90,000 surgeries to date and counting). One doctor who trained with AAL thanked us recently as she felt prepared to take on a challenging spay surgery at her clinic, due to the training she received at AAL. In 2025 we added 15 additional clinics using these up-and-coming veterinarians, allowing us to spay/neuter an additional 310 pets in 2025. One of the veterinarians who trained in 2024 now works part-time for AAL, increasing our capacity to provide spay/neuter.

Provide an overview of your organization including a brief description, purpose/goals, and individuals/communities served.
The Armed Services YMCA 29 Palms, CA Branch is located on the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in 29 Palms, CA. The Branch is authorized to operate by the ASYMCA Headquarters, in Woodbridge, VA, and is subject to the authority of the ASYMCA National Board of Directors. The ASYMCA is part of the larger YMCA of the USA to help support the military community. The ASYMCA 29 Palms, CA Branch has a Board of Advisors who actively support the Branch Executive Director, and the local operations.
Our mission is to enhance the lives of military members and their families in spirit, mind and body through programs relevant to the unique challenges of military life.
The Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center is the largest Marine Corps Base in the world, with square mileage equal to that of the state of Rhode Island. The Base is home to 12,000 Marines and 1,000 Navy Corpsmen. Forty percent of the military stationed in 29 Palms are married, with families. About 5,000 young, (18-19 year-old) Marines are stationed at 29 Palms at any one time for training in the Marine Corps Communications & Electronics School (MCCES). The overwhelming majority of the Base population is composed of lower-enlisted military, belonging primarily to Infantry and Artillery Divisions.

Tell us about the history of your organization and your capacity to deliver services/programming (staƯing, partnerships, facilities, etc.).
The Mission of the Armed Services YMCA is to “enhance the lives of military members and their families in spirit, mind and body through programs and services relevant to the unique challenges of military life.”
The Armed Services YMCA is part of the larger YMCA organization, and was founded in 1861 by a group of clergymen, concerned with the needs of the young soldiers on the battlefield, during the Civil War. The sixteenth President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, is considered the first donor to the Armed Services YMCA, as he actually gave us a financial gift in his will to support the work of the organization.
The Armed Services YMCA 29 Palms, CA Branch was founded in 1992 by the Board of Trustees of the Armed Services YMCA San Diego, who were aware of the isolation experienced by the young military and their families stationed aboard the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) in 29 Palms, CA. It was the 29 Palms Base Marine leadership who petitioned the Armed Services YMCA National Headquarters in Washington, DC to confer independence on the Armed Services YMCA 29 Palms, CA Branch in 1998, to which the ASYMCA Headquarters readily obliged.
We operate on Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in 29 Palms to readily serve our active-duty military and their families. Our local 29 Palms Branch is responsible to fund our programs beyond the generous subsidy from our National Headquarters, which is about 20% of our operating budget. The other 80% is funded by grants, direct appeals and events, etc.

Section 6: Proposal Narrative
1. bôôîϯŘĺæīôıϙťÍťôıôIJťϙϼ͔͏͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Describe the problem or need you seeħ to solve and who is aƯected.
The Armed Services YMCA 29 Palms stands as a consistent and trusted resource on the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center when military families are facing urgent and compounding challenges. Our food support program ensures that no service member or military family is forced to choose between meeting basic needs and maintaining stability. This is key to remain mission ready.
By providing a dependable access to food, we help families bridge the financial gaps created by low military pay, high regional living costs, and the employment barriers spouses face. This support is not simply a service --it is a lifeline that allows families to stay focused on their mission, remain resilient, and move toward genuine self-sufficiency.
2. ŘĺŕĺŜÍīϙŪŘŕĺŜôϙЭϙiæĤôèťĖŽôŜϙϼ͔͏͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Describe the purpose and obĤectives of your proposal.
The purpose and longǦterm impact of our program is a stronger, more resilient 29 Palms military community -- one in which service members and their families have the stability they need to thrive. By reducing the financial and logistical pressures that undermine family wellǦbeing, we help ensure that military households remain focused, prepared, and missionǦready. This support strengthens not only individual families, but force readiness and national security.
3. ĺııŪIJĖťƅϙôIJôƱťϙϼ͔͏͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Describe how this proposal will beneƱt the residents of Twentynine Palms (direct services, prevention, access, equity, quality of life, etc.).
The vast majority of the 22,000 persons (military, dependents, government workers, and veterans) part of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, are the people we serve. The financial well being and mission-readiness of our military and their families, affects all of Twentynine Palms, one way or another. In other words, this existing food resource program will serve Twentynine Palms, albeit from the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center.
4. IIJťôIJîôîϙŪîĖôIJèôϙЭϙiŪťŘôÍèēϯèèôŜŜϙťŘÍťôČƅϙϼ͔͑͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ Describe your intended audience and how you will reach them (outreach methods, referral partners, marketing, accessibility considerations).
5. îîĖťĖĺIJÍīϙ>ŪIJîĖIJČϙĺŪŘèôŜϙϼ͔͑͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
List any additional funding sources you intend to utilize or have already secured for this proĤect/program (grants, donations, sponsorships, fees, in-kind, etc.).
Our intended audience is lower enlisted active duty military and their families in the 29 Palms area. This consists of those residing on the installation and off base within the community.
One of our biggest outreach methods is active communication with on-base unit commands, chaplains and their deployment readiness coordinator/uniformed readiness coordinator. These relationships play an important role in connecting the families they are responsible for to our social services organization.
Other means of outreach include social media, distribution of paper fliers, internal email/marketing, and word of mouth.
Other local foundations, organizations, and individual donors.
6. Ŝôϙĺċϙ
Ėťƅϙ>ŪIJîŜϙϼ͔͑͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
If your application is successful, how will you utilize the City of Twentynine Palms Contributions to Non-ProƱts @rant fundsϦ
7. IıŕÍèťϙĺċϙÍŘťĖÍīϯbĺϙ>ŪIJîĖIJČϙϼ͔͑͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
If you receive partial or no funding, what eƯect will that have on the proĤect/program deliveryϦ
If awarded this funding, it will support operation and supply for the Pelican Shop Food Pantry and other on-base food distributions with the needs of lower enlisted military and their families, veterans, and in some instances, government workers in the following ways:
1. Drive through food distributions through the holidays or in between.
2. Weekly Pelican Shop Food Pantry shopping - this is available each week to our families.
3. Individualized extra emergency food support, case by case basis.
Funds will be used in the following capacity:
1. Purchase of food, baby products, cleaning and hygiene items for the pantry.
2. Cost of mileage to support volunteers pick up/delivery of food items
3. General operations
Should we receive partial or no funding, we, of course, would continue to solicit funds for the program from other supportive donors. Because Food Support is a core program of the Armed Services YMCA as an organization, and of such importance to our military families in 29 Palms, we will make cuts in other areas to fully fund the program.
8. ĖŜħŜϙЭϙ
ēÍīīôIJČôŜϙϼ͔͑͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Identify potential challenges/risks and how you will address them (staƯing, supplies, participation, scheduling, compliance, etc.).
9. ŪŜťÍĖIJÍæĖīĖťƅϙīÍIJϙϼ͔͑͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Describe your plan for sustaining the proĤect/program after the grant award has been exhausted.
Our Twentynine Palms Branch has minimal staffing and relies quite a bit on volunteer support.
Our 7 staff members are comprised of over 50% spouses of active-duty military or veterans bringing valuable perspective and expertise to our organization. This can also be a challenge that we face year to year with the quick transitions of military lifestyle; a percentage of our staffing changes frequently.
Another consistent challenge we face each year is funding.
Once the grant funds have been exhausted, we would continue to seek additional funding. This program is an existing part of our core programs within the Armed Services YMCA organization as a whole. All of our programs play an important role with the military and their families but our food resource program is one we hold to be essential. The need for the program will continue as long as military families are in need.
Section 7: Evaluation & Reporting
1. aôÍŜŪŘÍæīôϙiŪťèĺıôŜϙЭϙĖıôīĖIJôϙϼ͔͑͏ϙſĺŘîŜϙĺŘϙīôŜŜϽ
Describe the desired measurable outcomes and anticipated timeline.
2. aôÍŜŪŘôıôIJťϙЭϙôŕĺŘťĖIJČϙīÍIJ
How will you measure eƯectiveness and report outcomes to the City (data sources, frequency, tools, participant feedback, etc.)Ϧ
In the year 2026, we hope to serve 10,000 military and their families and distribute close to 200,000 pounds of food. This data is tracked through our Daxko program that allows tracking of program impact and provides insights to participation, demographics and direct community impact.
We assess our impact through a combination of output and outcome measures. We track the number of military families accessing our support services and their overall well-being is captured through post-program surveys and participant testimonials. Our primary indicator of success is our ability to reach service members and families experiencing acute need, address their immediate challenges, and reduce the stressors that can undermine family stability and mission readiness.

classroom helps provide parents with the ability to form relationships among themselves. Children are grouped for classes by readiness and age: 2-3 year olds, 3-4 year
olds, and 4-5 year olds. Successful completion of the
program prepares a child for kindergarten. The Armed
Services YMCA 29 Palms provides Operation Little

12 A not well-known work of the Armed
Services YMCA 29 Palms, CA Branch is a
collaboration with Immaculate Heart of
Mary Chapel (Bldg 1542) aboard the

The vestibule walls of the Chapel bear the
portraits and the names of the Marines
and Sailors, deployed from 29 Palms for
Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring
Freedom who never returned. These walls
stand as a memorial to those who gave the
full measure. Visit the Chapel, remember
these heroes, pray for their families.

that he lay down his life for another.”
(St. John 15:13)
WE REMEMBER...
Zenaida B. Harris
October 27, 1953 - September 30, 2024
Retired after thirty years as lead cook at the Child
Development Center aboard the Marine Corps Air
Ground Combat Center, Mrs. Zenaida Harris, known
affectionately around the Armed Services YMCA, 29
Palms as “Ida”, would become one of our most
devoted, loyal and generous volunteers. Ida
assisted us wherever needed, but the thrift store
was always her favorite place to serve. Many the
hot desert afternoon, that Ida, and her good friend
Celia Gaston could be found outside sorting and
pricing donations for the thrift store. Ida will be
remembered for her love of faith, family, friends,
and her Filipino heritage, but especially her
wonderful sense of humor!
“How can she be gone, who is still present in our hearts?” (St. Augustine)

OVERVIEW
The City of Twentynine Palms is an inspiring place that has consistently demonstrated dynamism in economic development and entrepreneurial opportunity. Over the past several years, publications ranging from the Los Angeles Times to Vogue have highlighted the city's appeal and energy, making it a hot spot in the Hi-Desert.
PURPOSE/GOALS
The proposed Twentynine Palms Production Incentive Pilot Program seeks to attract film productions from Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Diego counties to the local ZIP code, with the objective of converting that momentum into direct local economic activity.
By offering a targeted micro-incentive, the program will drive actionable tactics, demonstrate success, establish its first case study, and capitalize on measurable outcomes to expand.
PUBLIC IT SERVES
The project sits at the intersection of education, economic development, and workforce growth. It provides opportunities for adults of all backgrounds to work on local film productions, while underserved or part-time residents can access roles such as Production Assistant, Scouting Assistant, or background actor, and experienced workers can pursue Unit Production Manager positions. Local businesses also benefit, as productions require catering, accommodation, utilities, parking, and filming locations, with the Joshua Tree Film Office connecting them to Twentynine Palms vendors.
Additionally, teenagers and students gain hands-on experience through a supervised training and internship program, building skills and resumes in the film industry.

While the region has long attracted filmmakers, there has been no consistent professional structure to support productions while preserving the environment and community. And that abscence of structure has prevented any publicity to be garnered.
The Desert Media Foundation is now a central hub that connects all of our assets, leveraging Twentynine Palms’ distinctive locations and entrepreneurial energy to drive economic development, workforce opportunities, and cultural engagement.
The Foundation will use the existing partnerships (and filmmaker database) with local companies to realistically attract productions that have already recognized the desert region for its cinematic qualities.
The program will be led by Matt Beurois, a multi-award-winning director, filmmaker, and public sector leader. He directs and programs the Yucca Valley Film Festival and the Paris Art and Movie Awards, with his cultural work recognized by U.S. and French officials. Beurois has extensive experience in public administration, arts and culture, marketing, economic development, and tourism, having held roles including Director of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés Cultural Center in Paris, Communications Director for Santa Fe, NM, and leadership positions in Riverside, CA, and the Yucca Valley Chamber of Commerce.

The Desert Media Foundation will establish a pilot grant program dedicated to incentivizing filming in Twentynine Palms. We will reach out to an existing database of filmmakers already familiar with the area to invite submissions. Grantees will receive supervision and support throughout their projects. The program will be publicized as an official grant through the Joshua Tree Film Office.
We have multiple other grants and partners.
This project though will be earmarked to 29 Palms only.

We will establish a grant to attract producers to film in Twentynine Palms.
A portion of the funds will be used to administer the grant and promote the pilot program.
We are only asking $3,500 for a unique pilot program that no-one has been able to establish in our area (ever).
The program is specifically earmarked for Twentynine Palms; without funding, it cannot proceed.
Partial funding may result in a grant amount too small to make the pilot program attractive or effective.

The core of the program will focus on outreach to our established network of filmmakers, leveraging strong, existing relationships to attract meaningful and high-quality applications.
The main risk is that production timelines may not align with the program’s schedule, but this can be mitigated if the program becomes a rolling annual initiative, maximizing the likelihood that applications result in actual filming in Twentynine Palms.
That risk will be heavily mitigated through the application and selection process. 1) The Desert Media Foundation receives the City of 29 Palms grant 2) The Desert Media Foundation establishes and administers a 29 Palms Filming Attraction Grant Pilot Program
3) The Desert Media Foundation uses the Joshua Tree Film Office to publicize the Pilot Program
4) After the grantees are announced, the Desert Media Foundation supervizes the actual filming
5) Once the project is completed, the final movie is integrated in our publicity tactics 6) The Desert Media Foundation will provide a results and impact report 7) Based on success and measurable result, the partnership between The Desert Media Foundation and the City of 20 Palms should renew, aiming to a expand the program - step by step.

The pilot program will prove success based on
- implementing the pilot program
- bringing filming to 29 Palms
- connecting local businesses to the producers so the project generates local $ spending
- connecting producers to local workforce
