The Pat Landi Access Fund will invest in opportunities (programs, initiatives, grant or lending opportunities, etc.) that support local economic development activities, preferably in small business development.
The Pat Landi Access Fund will accept a letter of request, application, or proposal with a project description from each potential recipient. The type of request received must identify the size of the request, how the investment will be used, and include the timeframe in which results are expected to be realized. Expected results should be specific and measurable.
The Pat Landi Access Fund will collaborate and partner with other partners in Butler and Warren Counties to provide the best overall benefit for economic development in Alloy Development’s Area of Operations. Alloy will determine how the project, program, or entity receiving the investment will be evaluated at the end of the reporting period, and how this evaluation will be used by Alloy Development in considering increased funding or reinvestment in the project, program, or entity, or termination of Alloy’s grant funding.
The Pat Landi Access Fund Committee will determine the amount of investment to be made, the recipient entity or program, and the expected results of the investment. The Chair of the Investment Committee will present Committee-approved investments for ratification by the Alloy Development Co. Executive Committee.
