950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20530-0001
Dear Ms. Pugliese,
Due to the alignment of a passion to assist survivors of sexual
assault, it is with honor I
submit the following proposal on behalf of the Founders and
Directors of A Life After

Rape/Molestation, Inc. or ALARM, Inc. requesting funding in
the amount of $75,000.00 to assist
in funding the ALARM Scholarship Fund. This scholarship fund
is being created solely to assist
survivors of sex crimes, who ALARM is already assisting in
other areas, pay for college related
expenses including the cost of tuition and books.
Many survivors are left with eternal scars of their assault and
those scars are not always
physical. ALARM, Inc., is an organization founded in 2014 by
sex crime survivors who know
first-hand what it is like to live with these scars. ALARM
currently provides location services
and financial assistance to sex crime survivors for counseling,
self-defense workshops and self-
esteem building classes in and around the Greater Orlando and
Tampa areas of Florida.
Due to our shared desire of assisting survivors of sexual crimes
and the proven record of
the difference that ALARM, Inc. has already made for
survivors, we hope that The Office of
Violence Against Women will assist us in funding this critical
new service. If you have any
questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 321-946-
4998. I greatly appreciate you’re
your time and consideration for funding. I hope that together we
may help to better the lives of
sex crime survivors.
Sincerely,

Founder & Executive Director

Executive Summary
Recently approved a 501(c)3 status in 2019, A Life After
Rape/Molestation Inc. was
founded on March 7, 2014 and incorporated on June 27, 2017.
ALARM is currently an
organization without walls that operates online, over the phone,
and through partnerships within
the community to assist survivors of sex crimes. Currently,
through its RE-Becoming You
Program, ALARM is providing financial assistance to survivors
to pay for counseling, self-
esteem workshops, and self-defense classes. This proposal will
outline how we plan to expand
our program to include a scholarship fund exclusively for sex
crime survivors within and around

the Greater Orlando and Tampa areas of Florida.
Through our other services, A Life After Rape/Molestation,
Inc. has found that there is a
great need for survivors within our area to obtain funding for
higher education; sadly, there are
not any options in our area that cater to sex crime survivors. By
creating this scholarship fund,
ALARM will be building on the strong foundation it has already
built with its’ other services and
can help survivors further their healing. It is expected that the
fund will be able to assist 60
survivors with the cost of their education within the first year
alone.
The scholarship will fund will be a helping hand to both the
community and survivors, as
applicant selection will favor survivors going into fields
currently in great need of workers. As
can be seen, the ALARM Scholarship Fund will be a big step
for both ALARM and the
community it serves, so, to ensure everything is done right the
first time, the Scholarship Fund
will receive regular evaluations. The evaluations will be
completed both internally and by a third
party to ensure accuracy and will review the ALARM

Scholarship Fund and its disbursement of
funds. These evaluations will maintain the integrity of the fund
so it may continue to assist more
survivors for years to come.

All program costs have been taken into consideration with the
budget, including all
evaluations. The budget for the scholarship Fund is $150,000,
and with $75,000 being raised
through fundraiser events and private donations, your grant of
$75,000 will bring us the all the
way to the finish line. Of the $150,000 budget, $134,000 will be
paid in scholarship funds for
scholarship recipients. The grant funding being sought from
your agency will be applied 100%
towards the scholarship fund itself so your agencies generosity
is going directly towards
bettering a survivor’s education and life. As you can see, your
funds are greatly needed so thank
you greatly for your consideration of awarding such funds.

Problem Statement
ALARM Scholarship Fund for Sex Crime Survivors
The men woman and child survivors of sex crimes that live
and/or temporarily reside
within our communnity are in need of the assistance that A Life
After Rape/Molestation, Inc. can
provide. By expanding our RE-Becoming You Program through
providing a scholarship fund for
survivors to pay for college related expenses, we are helping
survivors by providing one extra
step towards normalcy, a new life and a new found sense of
accomplishment; something so many
survivors desperately need. A Life After Rape/Molestation, Inc.
was founded to help sex crime
survivors regain what was lost when they became a survivor so
they may have a life after a rape,

molestation or sexual assault. We provide services to any
survivors who live or are temporarily
residing within the Greater Orlando or Tampa areas of Florida,
including but not limited to:
Apopka, Lakeland, Brandon, Champions Gate, Davenport, and
Winter Haven, Florida. As an
organization, we already offer financial assistance service to
sex crime survivors to pay for
counseling, self-esteem workshops, and self-defense classes.
Providing a scholarship fund to
survivors who are already receiving assistance from us will only
allow us to do even more for
survivors.
The need to create a scholarship fund specifically for survivors
is very important.
Survivors go through a great deal after a sexual assualt and may
deal with depression, self-hatred
or blame and a lowered sense of self-worth. Many of these
problems are currently being address
by the services offered by A Life After rape/Molestation, Inc.
Self-esteem classes help to address
the issue of low self-worth however, bettering one’s education
is an additional way to address
this issue. Education is an important part of how we see

ourselves and, for a survivor, they may
feel that an education makes someone smart and that if they
were smarter then they would not
6
have been sexually assaulted. This may not be the case for all
survivors but for many education
level does tie into them being assaulted and is just another
reason to blame themselves; this is
typically the case for both male and female survivors (Liegiero,
2017). We need to get survivors
in school but many do not have the financial means to pay for
higher education.
Sadly, this problem typically exist for three reasons: because
there is not another financial
option available in our area that benefits only survivors of sex
crimes; because many survivors
are forced to leave school after becoming a survivor; and
because the amount of sex crime
survivors continues to grow daily. With an increase is the
number of sex crime survivors, many

organizations are becoming financially strained by providing
only basic assistance and many do
not have the means to offer more. Many sex crime survivors are
prevented from returning to
school for various reasons from the crime happening at school
to a student or teacher reminding
him or her of their assailant. These sad reasons or situations
have created a growing need for
scholarship funds specifically for sex crime survivors. Even
more sad, the amount of sex crime
survivors is not going away or declining, in fact, the number
continues to increase with over
51,000 sexaul assaults happening in 2017 alone (Casteel, Wolfe,
& Nguyen, 2018). Most
reported survivors are woman but men are effected by and
survive sex crimes too. According to
a survey conducted in accordance with an article 2018, an
estimated 84% of survivors of sexual
assault are female and 16% of survivors are male (Casteel,
Wolfe, & Nguyen, 2018). With so
many survivors out there, one would think that there would be
more assistance available,
especially with education being of so much emphasis in our
country. Heartbreakingly, many men

do not report due to fear of ridicule and not being believed,
leaving most to suffer in silence
(Abdullah-Kahn, 2008). Many of these survivors will talk about
an education they did not get or
7
that if they had gotten one that they may have been in a
different place in their life that could
have prevented their assault.
Many of these instances of self-blame or low self-worth can be
bettered by providing a
means for survivors to obtain an education. By providing
survivors with a scholarship to start or
finish a degree or technical program, it is giving them a means
to move forward in life and helps
them to feel they have done something to change their situation
and to prevent themselves from
being a survivor of another assault. Getting counseling soon
after an assault is important;
however, it is also proven that what is done later is just as
important. Long term goals are

essential to having a happier and successful life after becoming
a survivor of a sexual assault
(Liegiero, 2017).
Much will change for the survivor, their family and even their
community when this need
is met. Offering a scholarship fund will enhance a survivor’s
life by helping them to feel more in
power of their own life, increasing their earning potential, and
making them more appealing in
the job market. These changes alone can be life changing for a
survivor. A survivor’s family will
benefit for many of the same reasons but their family will also
have a new sense of pride for their
mother, brother, cousins, etc. who has overcome so much and
now holds a degree. Community-
wise the benefits are rewarding as they will earn a freshly
educated and skilled worker which
will assist in bettering the available workforce in our
community.

Program Description and Organizational Background
A Life After Rape/Molestation, Inc. or ALARM, Inc., is a
501(c)3 organization founded
by survivors and is geared towards assisting survivors of sex
crimes in getting the services
needed to rebuild themselves and their lives. ALARM was
founded to aid survivors of rape,
molestation and sexual assault so they can have a life after
surviving a sex crime. Specifically,
ALARM provides location services and financial assistance to
survivors to pay for counseling,
self-defense workshops and self-esteem building classes in the
Greater Orlando and Tampa areas
of Florida.
Currently, there is not another organization in our area offering
scholarship funds
specifically for survivors of sexual assault. The scholarship will
be exclusive to survivors who
have sought service through A Life After Rape/Molestation, Inc.
and will be an integral part of

the RE-becoming You Program. There are many survivors who
did not attend college or who
dropped out due to their sexual assault or abuse, some leaving
behind awarded scholarships and
grants they can never get back. Creating a scholarship fund will
not only help survivors pay for
school, it will allow them to have a choice when it comes to
their own lives and futures.
Through the RE-Becoming You Program sex crime survivors
are regaining what was
stolen from them to help make survivors whole again. By
providing financial assistance to
survivors for counseling, we are returning to them the power to
control their own lives. By
paying for self-defense classes, we are giving survivors back
the sense of security that was stolen
from them. By assisting them to locate and pay for self-esteem
building classes, we are restoring
the self-worth that was lost when they were violated. By paying
for a survivor’s education, we
are enabling them to regain that sense of independence that was
taken when they were violated,
putting them back in control of their future.

Goals and Objectives:
A Life After Rape/Molestation, Inc. is currently seeking
funding to start a scholarship
fund that will assist sex crime survivors in paying for college
related expenses. The purpose of
the scholarship fund is to expand the services and assistance
that ALARM already offers through
its RE-Becoming You Program to better help survivors on their
journey of rebuilding
themselves. The scholarship fund will not only be helping the
survivors to regain a part of
themselves, it will also to help provide qualified applicants
within the growing job market in the
Greater Orlando and Tampa areas of Florida. Currently many
survivors are too strained
financially from bills for counseling, hospital visits, and other
expenses they are forced to pay
after a sexual assault they did not ask for. Sadly, this leaves
little funds for things like an

education and with the current government PELL Grant
qualifications, many survivors do not
qualify and are only left with the option of a loan which equals
more debt. The men, woman, and
children who are affected by these heinous acts deserve better,
and that is what ALARM’s
scholarship fund will do, provide survivors with a better option
for funding their education.
The ALARM Scholarship Fund has a two-fold affect; help
survivors pay for school while
helping to build a stronger economy. By offsetting the costs of
an education, it is allowing
survivors to focus on what is most important, bettering
themselves. The scholarship will pay for
school related expenses including: tuition fees, the costs or
books, and even required supplies. A
Survivor will to receive a minimum of $1,000 annually and a
maximum of $4,000 annually.
Scholarships will be offered to Survivors who are currently or
who have previously received
assistance through A Life After Rape/Molestation, Inc.’s RE-
Becoming You Program and
priority will be given to those seeking an education in locally
in-demand job fields. These crucial

fields include: Nursing, Teaching, and Engineering; all which
are fields, in our local economy,
10
that are currently seeing a growing gap between the number of
jobs offered and the number of
qualified applicants available to fill these positions. This is
where the benefit of the survivors
meets the benefit of the community and helps build a stronger
economy. The survivors who
graduate with degrees and certificates in these fields will help
to fill these local job voids and
slowly close the gap that is currently growing.
A Life After Rape/Molestation, Inc. expects that within the
first year 15 survivors will
graduate; while some will earn CNA and LPN Certifications,
others will complete a degree they
have already started, and more will earn their Teaching
certificates. These early results are
attainable due to the great interest shown by survivors who want
to apply for a scholarship. To

make this a reality ALARM will open a six-week application
acceptance window beginning the
end of August, 2019 and closing the middle of October, 2019.
This timeframe will allow
ALARM to review applications, choose applicants and
alternatives, contact approved applicants
and verify enrollment to allow the first scholarship
disbursements to be released the Spring 2020
Semester.

Methods Narrative
The primary objective for A Life After Rape/Molestation Inc.
in 2019 will be obtained
through the soon-to-follow detailed methods. A Life After
Rape/Molestation, Inc. or ALARM is
a sex crime survivor founded organization created to help
survivors of sex crimes rebuild
themselves and regain parts of themselves that were stolen when
they were violated. A definitive

Evaluation Narrative
Evaluation of A Life after Rape/Molestation, Inc.’s Survivor
Scholarship Fund will allow
review of the funds successfulness and potential lifespan. The
successfulness of the scholarship
fund will be determined by interviews, group studies, survivor
employment outcomes, and local
job data; compiled to measure how beneficial the scholarship is
to Survivors. Once all
information is compiled, the results will be shared with all
founders and directors, and then with
the donors and grantor, U.S. Department of Justice – Office of
Violence Against Women. The
results will also be shared with volunteer staff, will be made

available on ALARM’s website and
will later be utilized during future fundraising events. The
anticipated outcome for the Survivor
Scholarship Fund is to become a permanent expansion of
ALARM’s RE-Becoming You
Program and help Survivors’ take one more step forward on
their journey of rebuilding
themselves. The scholarship fund, which will assist in paying
for college-related expenses, will
help Survivors and the community alike by reducing a
Survivor’s financial burden, while adding
a skilled and educated job applicant to the local workforce.
The Scholarship Fund’s overall successfulness will be
evaluated when the first survivor
graduates, anticipated in December 2020. The evaluation of the
scholarship fund’s effectiveness
will begin in January 2020, two-weeks after the start of the first
semester that the scholarship is
disbursed for. Evaluations will again be completed half way
through the semester and at the end
of the semester. The evaluations will include assessing how the
survivors are feeling about the
process and attending school, and how well the school believes
we handled the disbursement of

funds. Survivors will be interviewed two-weeks after classes
begin, half-way through the
semester, and again at the end of the semester; this evaluation
timeline will continue throughout
the duration of the scholarship being received. The interviews
will be conducted as one-on-one
19
interviews with survivors who have been awarded the
scholarship, while group studies will only
be conducted with survivors who agree to meet as a group.
During these interviews and possible
group studies, participating survivors will be asked questions
about the application process, and
their experiences during and after school. The interview and
possible group study process will be
simple and will be included as a part of participating in
ALARM’s RE-Becoming You Program.
The scholarship fund’s efficiency will be evaluated one-month
after the start of the first
semester that funds are disbursed and will continue to be

completed at the same time for each
future semester. This will be completed by contacting and
speaking with each school to obtain
their feedback about ALARM’s efficiency in responding to
correspondence and the overall fund
disbursement process. All feedback received will be utilized to
enhance the future scholarship
fund process and changes will be enacted the following
semester. The effectiveness and overall
success of the scholarship fund will be determined once the first
set of Survivors graduate. One-
month after graduation, ALARM will contact survivors by
phone and/or email to determine the
time it takes survivors to find employment, what field the
survivor is employed in, and in what
geographical location. This same evaluation timeline will
continue with future survivor graduates
and will allow ALARM to measure the scholarship funds benefit
to and effect on the local job
market. Due to the uniqueness of the scholarship program, the
comparison utilized to determine
success will be with the survivors own before-and-after profiles.
The comparison will come from
utilizing survivors’ previous income, job titles and overall

happiness with their situation before
school compared to after. Also, employment data for the local
community will be reviewed to
determine if the survivor graduates are helping to reduce the
lack of local, qualified job
applicants.
20
ALARM will review all the information obtained from the
interviews regarding the
application process and fund disbursement, information about
job data, and survivor
participation information collected throughout the evaluation
process to determine if the process
was implemented as planned. This data will then be utilized to
make any necessary changes to
future scholarship application and disbursement processes. The
success of ALARM’s
Scholarship Fund will be determined primarily by the number of
survivors who benefitted from
the scholarship and whose lives are changed by being provided

the opportunity to attend school.
The differences that will be seen within the local community by
having more qualified applicants
available to fill high-demand positions is an additional sign of
success. The ultimate success will
come from the continuation of the scholarship fund to be able to
make a difference in the lives of
more survivors over time.

time. The total cost for each
background check is $25.00, totaling $100.00 for four, and
fingerprinting is $50.00 each, or
$200.00 for all four, totaling $300.00.
A total of five laptop computers and iPad tablets will be
utilized for recording data
related to the scholarship fund and survivors. A security
software that encrypts data will be
installed on all five at a cost of $60.00 per computer or tablet,
for a total cost of $300.00.

A Wawa gift card totaling $50.00 will be purchased for
Director and Founder, Adryanna
Macon, to cover gas and lunch expenses while recruiting
volunteers.
Papers, pens, notebooks, and planners for personnel use during
the planning and
implementation stages of the scholarship fund and are expected
to cost $25.00.
Printing paper and ink for the printed scholarship applications
and accompanying
directions will be purchased for $125.00 from Wal-Mart.
The total amount of scholarship money paid, $134,000.00, is
based on 60 students
attending a higher education program in year one making the
average reward amount $2,333.34.
This amount is taking into consideration a student enrolled at
least half-time, with the current
average cost per credit hour for a public Florida state or
community college being $109.81 for in-
state tuition, including all associated fees.
To ensure all funds are properly managed, a third-party
Financial Account Analyst will
be obtained to do a year-end review of all the scholarship fund
financials at a cost of $200.00.

Harrod’s Sporting Goods
In January of 2016, Becky, who served as the company’s chief
financial officer, walked into Jim’s office and said, “I’ve
had it with the First National Bank of Omaha. It is willing to
renew our loan and line of credit, but the bank wants to
charge us 2½ percentage points over prime.” The prime rate is
the rate at which banks make loans to their most
creditworthy customers. It was 4.75 percent at the time Becky
had visited the bank, so that the total rate on the loan
would be 7.25 percent. It was not so much the total rate that
Becky objected to, as the fact that Harrod’s was being
asked to pay 2½ percent over prime. She felt that Harrod’s was
a strong enough company that one percent over prime
should be all that the bank required. Her banker told her he
would review the firm’s financial statements with her next
week and reconsider the premium Harrod’s was being asked to
pay over prime.
While Becky knew the bank “crunched all the numbers,” she
decided to do some additional financial analysis on her

own. She had a bachelor’s degree in finance with a 3.3 GPA.
She began by examining Figures 1, 2, and 3 below.

Week 5 Case Study
FIN/486 Version 6 5
Required Activities:

1. Calculate the profitability ratios for all three years using the
formulas provided in section “A. Profitability Ratios”
within Chapter 3:
1. Profit margin
2. Return on assets (a and b)
3. Return on equity ( a and b)
2. Write a one-paragraph description of any trends that appear
to have taken place over the three-year time
period.
3. Examine the income statement in Figure 1 above. Note that
there was an extraordinary loss of $170,000 in
2015. This might have represented uninsured losses from a fire,
a lawsuit settlement, etc. It probably does not
represent a recurring event or affect the earnings capability of
the firm. For that reason, the astute financial
analyst might add back in the extraordinary loss to gauge the
true operating earnings of the firm. Since it was a
tax-deductible item, we must first multiply by (1-tax rate)
before adding it back in.* The tax rate was 35 percent
for the year.
$170,000 Extraordinary loss

_____.65_ (1-tax rate)
$110,500 After-tax addition to profits from eliminating the
extraordinary loss
from net income
The more representative net income number for 2015 would now
be:
Initially reported (Figure 1 above) $200,318
Adjustment for extraordinary loss being eliminated +110,500_
Adjusted net income $310,818
Note: This adjustment was made because the $170,000
deduction saved 35 percent of this amount in taxes. If we
eliminate the $170,000, the tax benefit would also be
eliminated. Thus, the firm would only benefit by 65 percent of
$170,000, based on a 35 percent tax rate. The after-tax benefit
of the tax adjustment for the extraordinary loss is
$110,500.
A. Recompute the same ratios for 2015 using the adjusted net
income figure of $310,818.
4. Write a one-paragraph description of trends that appear to
have taken place over the three-year time period
(Refer to question 1 above for 2013 and 2014 data and question
3 above for the adjusted net income numbers

for 2015).
5. Write a one-paragraph analysis of the company’s profitability
ratios compared to the industry ratios (Figure 3
above) using the revised ratios for 2015 from question 3 above.
Include asset turnover and debt to total assets
as supplemental material in your analysis.
6. Calculate the Asset Utilization ratios for 2015 using the
formulas provided in section “B. Asset Utilization Ratios”
within Chapter 3:
Week 5 Case Study
FIN/486 Version 6 6
1. Receivable turnover (Note: For the Receivables turnover
ratio, only half the sales are on credit
terms.)

2. Inventory turnover
3. Fixed Asset turnover
7. Write a brief one-paragraph description of any trends that
appear to have taken place. Compare Harrod’s sales
to total assets ratio to the industry in your description.
8. Write a one-paragraph conclusion that provides analysis of
your answers to questions 4 and 5 above.
a. Include your opinion on whether or not Becky Harrod has a
legitimate complaint about being charged
2½ percent, instead of 1 percent over prime.
