and valuable consideration, receipt, and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the SEOPW CRA and
Grantee agree as follows:
1. RECITALS. The Recitals to this Agreement are true and correct and are incorporated herein
by referenced and made a part hereof.
2. GRANT. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and Grantee's compliance with
all of its obligations hereunder, the SEOPW CRA hereby agrees to make available to Grantee funds not to
exceed the authorized amount, pursuant to CRA-R-25-0063, to be used exclusively for the Purpose stated herein
and disbursed in the manner hereinafter provided.
3. USE OF GRANT. The grant shall be used to assist with the Grantee's implementation of the
Program during the Term (as defined in Section 4) of this Agreement, in accordance with the Program's
approved scope of work and budget ("Program Budget"), attached hereto as Exhibit "C." Grantee is aware that
the SEOPW CRA is not obligated to expend additional funds beyond the authorized amount defined herein.
4. TERM.
a. INITIAL TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date written
above and shall terminate September 30, 2026, or once Grantee has fulfilled the Purpose for which funds were
appropriated, whichever occurs first. However, the following rights of the SEOPW CRA shall survive the
expiration or early termination of this Agreement: to audit or inspect; to require reversion of assets; to enforce
representations, warranties, and certifications; to exercise entitlement to remedies, limitation of liability,
indemnification, and recovery of fees and costs.

a. GENERALLY. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the
SEOPW CRA shall make available to Grantee funds in an amount not to exceed Seventy -Five Thousand Dollars
and Zero Cents ($75,000.00). In no event shall payments to Grantee under this Agreement exceed Seventy -Five
Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($75,000.00). Payments shall be made to Grantee or directly to vendors on
behalf of Grantee, only after receipt and approval of requests for disbursements in accordance with Exhibit "C."
b. DEPOSIT OF GRANT FUNDS INTO SEPARATE CHECKING ACCOUNT. A
separate checking account must be created for the sole purpose of depositing SEOPW CRA grant funds, prior
2
to the disbursement of any grant funds. Said account shall not be used to deposit funds from other funding
sources or to make payments other than to transfer funds to the Grantee's general operating checking account.
c. REQUESTS FOR DISBURSEMENT OF GRANT FUNDS. All requests for the
disbursement of funds by Grantee shall be submitted in writing to the SEOPW CRA by Grantee's authorized
representative prior to the termination of this Agreement. All such requests must be accompanied by supporting

accordance with the approved Program Budget, as reflected in Exhibit "C," for expenditures incurred during
the Term of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, "supporting documentation" may include
invoices, receipts, photographs, and any other materials evidencing the expense incurred. Grantee agrees that
all invoices or receipts reflecting the expenses incurred in connection to the Program shall be in Grantee's name,
and not in the name of the SEOPW CRA in light of Grantee's inability to bind the SEOPW CRA to any legal
and/or monetary obligation whatsoever. The SEOPW CRA reserves the right to request additional supporting
documentation for any expenditures, and the SEOPW CRA reserves the right to deny any and all requests it
deems to be outside of the approved Program Budget. Grantee's failure to provide additional supporting
documentation or explanation regarding expenses incurred, when requested by the SEOPW CRA, shall serve
as grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement, and Grantee solely shall bear all costs associated with
any expenditures not approved by the SEOPW CRA.
d. PRE -APPROVAL OF EXPENSES. Grantee agrees to submit to the SEOPW CRA all
requests for the expenditure of Grant funds for pre -approval by the SEOPW CRA. Failure to submit said
requests prior to incurring expenses may result in the Grantee bearing the costs incurred. The SEOPW CRA
shall review said requests to ensure that the expense sought to be incurred by the Grantee is an expense within
the approved Program Budget, attached hereto as Exhibit "C," and the SEOPW CRA reserves the right to deny
any and all requests it deems to be outside of the scope of the foregoing.
e. APPROVAL OF BUDGET MODIFICATIONS. Grantee agrees to submit any and all
budget modifications, in writing, including line -item expenditures and descriptions, which exceed the budgeted
amount, to the Executive Director for approval.
f. CASH AND MOBILE PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS PROHIBITED. The Parties
agree that no payment shall be made to Grantee as a reimbursement for any Program -specific expenditure paid
in cash or via mobile payment application(s), including, but not limited to, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal, and/or
Venmo. Grantee acknowledges that cash and mobile payment transactions are insufficient per se to comply
with record -keeping requirements under this Agreement.
g. NO ADVANCE PAYMENTS. The SEOPW CRA shall not make advance payments
to Grantee or Grantee's vendors for services not performed or for goods, materials, or equipment which have
not been delivered to Grantee for use in connection with the Program.

the Grant is subject to specific reporting, record keeping, administrative, and contracting guidelines and other
requirements affecting the SEOPW CRA activities in issuing the funds. SEOPW CRA agrees to provide notice

limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantee represents and warrants that it will comply, and the Grant
will be used in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local codes, laws, rules, and regulations.

applicable laws. Grantee shall keep and maintain records to show its compliance with this Agreement. In

additional liability insurance coverage or coverage which is different -in kind SEOPW CRA reserves the right
to require the provision by Grantee of an amount of coverage different from the amounts or kind previously
required and shall afford written notice of such change in requirements thirty (30) days prior to the date on

damages.

Key aspects of the VEX IQ Robotics program:
• Hands-on Learning: Students actively design, build, and program robots, applying STEM
concepts from the classroom to real -world engineering challenges.
• Teamwork and Collaboration: Teams learn to collaborate, communicate, and lead
effectively while preparing for competitions.
a Competition: The flagship competition will be the MLK Weekend 2026 Robotics
Tournament, hosted by Do Good 41, with opportunities to advance to local, regional, and
national events.
O STEM Skills Development: Participants will build problem -solving, critical thinking, and
computational skills.
Organizational Experience
Do Good 41 has a proven track record in implementing large-scale, high -impact STEM initiatives.
Over the past five years, we have successfully launched robotics and coding programs across
Miami -Dade schools and community centers, serving over 1,500 students annually.
