Aging Latinos in Action - ALA
CCCIL is committed to developing the staff and community
leadership necessary to ensure that our local aging Latino
population can lead the most independent and healthy lives
possible. CCCIL’s ALA initiative rests on the premise that a
community rooted in a culture of independent living and health
requires outreach, education, engagement, action and reflection.
ALA directly addresses CCCIL’s priority areas including 1)
Developing an engaged constituency of community leaders with
disabilities to act on local issues that will build and maintain a
healthy, vibrant and independent community; and 2) Addressing
the needs of the rapidly increasing aging population as it
naturally increases in needs for disability services These two
priorities are intimately interwoven as the cultural needs of
specific populations including Latinos and aging adults pose
unique opportunities and challenges as our nation re-invents
how we look at access to care and health. Further, as disabilities
are a natural part of the aging process, CCCIL is uniquely
qualified to develop leadership in this area.
With investment from the UU Fund for a Just Society, CCCIL
will have the opportunity to focus on the outreach, education
and action that will both serve and organize a larger
constituency of Monterey County’s aging Latino adults.
With the UU investment, the ALA initiative will continue its 8
month pilot project into a second year and focus on:
Outreach
July - December
including Area
Agencies on Aging, service providers & churches) to invite

with a CCCIL Advocate to develop an Independent Living plan
to help them access benefits.
· In addition to the education pieces in the Health Care
Academies, CCCIL may organize 1-2 workshops on specific
topics identified as needs by the community that could include
accessing home health care.
Engagement January - June
· Each Healthcare Academy will have an opportunity for small
group meetings where participants will be asked a question such
as What has been your experience accessing health care? Each
group will report out to the larger group and potential areas for
action will be identified. Participants will then be asked who
might be interested in a follow up meeting to have more
conversation and education on this issue.
· Participants who have expressed interest during the Health
Care Academy will be invited to join the ALA Leadership
Team. The ALA Leadership Team will receive additional
training with staff and CCCIL partners including COPA,
Communities Organized for Relational Power in Action.
Opportunities for Action January - June

· These are associated with costs that you are asking the funder
to pay for (and which will be detailed in your budget).
Activities/Methods
· Describe activities that will occur within the grant period
only: Jan. 1, 2017 – November 30, 2017 (whether one-year or
multi-year).
· Describe in some detail how the project will unfold
(Who?/What?/When?/Where?/Why?/How?)
· Direct your narrative to a reader who is intelligent, but not
familiar with your program or issue. Avoid jargon, but don’t
oversimplify.
· Make sure activities align with stated results.

Paper description
Explain the proposed program’s activities, scope of work,
schedule of programs, and why you think the program will be
effective. 500 word Maximum
For this assignment you are to write a narrative in which
you state the intended results of the project for which you are
requesting funds, describe the activities and methods you will
use to achieve those results, show how and when they will be
carried out. There is also a mention how you will evaluate your
project's success. (There will not be a full evaluation plan here,
as the evaluation plan is provided in the Expected Program
Outcomes, Expected Measurable Results and Data Collection
Methodology).
This section of your grant proposal should lay the groundwork
for your budget request, by providing information about the
staffing, materials, equipment, facilities and contractual
services (if any) that will be necessary to carry out the project.
Good Project Descriptions include between one and four broad
goals, and between one and four measurable outcomes for each
goal. They are clear and thorough, but concise, and should
leave the reader with few if any questions about how the project
will be implemented, and by whom.
Pay attention to the structure and organization of your narrative,

6. and make sure to proofread to correct misspellings or
grammatical errors. Generally speaking, short paragraphs that
are focused around a strong topic sentence are most effective in
proposal writing.
The following table outlines the areas in which your project
description will be assessed, and the relative point values for
each.
NARRATIVE ON INTENDED RESULTS, ACTIVITIES &
METHODS:
Depth & Clarity of Project Description
Implementation activities, timeline, staffing plan and evaluation
plan are described in sufficient detail to provide a clear picture
of how the project will take place. The reader is left with few
questions about the project's methodology and timeline.

Quality of Writing
Narrative is well organized, clear, free of
grammatical/mechanical errors, and thorough but concise.

Questions on Cognitive Limits on Rationality
March and Simon, “Cognitive Limits on Rationality,” from
Organizations, 2nd ed. (1993)
March and Simon see the “rational man” of economics as
making “optimal” choices in a highly specified and clearly
defined environment with four features or characteristics. What
are they?
March and Simon see existing models of rational man as making
“three exceedingly important demands upon the choice-making
mechanism.” What are they?

7. March and Simon see most human decision making as being
concerned with the discovery and selection of which kind of
alternatives, “optimal” or “satisfactory?”
March and Simon see what portion of behavior in organizations
as being governed by “performance programs?
a. some
b. about half
c. most
d. all
In organizations where various aspects of a whole complex
problem are handled by different individuals and groups, what
“fundamental technique” is used to simplify the problem?
What way to assign jurisdictions within organizations is often
called “organization by purpose” or “departmentalization by
purpose?”
March and Simon write that the tendency of members of an
organizational unit to put subgoals ahead of the goals of the
larger organization is reinforced by (at least) three cognitive
mechanisms. What are those three cognitive mechanisms?
In organizations, March and Simon see two principal types of
in-groups as playing significant roles in filtering information.
What are they?
This in turn leads March and Simon to distinguish between two
different types of “identifications.” What are they?
Under what circumstances does it become likely that a decision
will be reached by predominately bargaining processes?
To what extent do rational, analytic processes take precedence
over bargaining processes?
What “condition of feasibility” must be met for rational,
analytic processes to take precedence over bargaining?
March and Simon write that ‘the central theme of this chapter”

8. is that the basic features of organizational structure and
function derive from what?
March and Simon write that the “simplifications” that rational
behavior calls for have a number of characteristic features.
What are they?
How do March and Simon define “organizational structure?”
What do March and Simon identify as the least stable parts of
an organization’s structure?
What do March and Simon identify as the most stable parts of
an organization’s structure?
