(1) Confirm that the $3M total program cost is expressly for running the Barrier Removal Fund program (funds plus any fund administration costs) to serve 1,000-1,500 individuals per year for two years.
(2) Learn more about the "structured analysis component" the applicant intends to incorporate to better understand impact. Does the $3M program cost estimate include a research budget for this analysis, and if so, what is that budget?

The biggest ROI-limiting factors are scale (and low cost-efficiency — that is, cost per beneficiary served) and relatively modest marginal uplift in annual income caused by the proposed cash transfer add-on.

What percentage of program completers are employed or earning above baseline income within 6–12 months of completion?
Can you provide demographic data (race, gender, education) and geographic locations for the learners served by this grant?

The primary factor affecting both ROI values is the high cost per participant. The proposal requests a $1 million grant to serve just 500 learners, resulting in a $2,000 per-person cost, which significantly lowers both the ROI and the relative income efficiency.

1. We are trying to understand the income change experienced by all participants/ entrepreneurs. Concept note mentions - "Centro serves about 90% of individuals earning less than $50,000 per year who want to pursue entrepreneurship as a pathway to financial stability." Can you provide an estimate of the baseline income of the remaining 10% entrepreneurs/ particpants?
2. Do all the entrepreneurs experience 20% increase in household income upon using the CEO app? Can you provide the estimated income change % experienced by all the entrepreneurs- differentiated by categories (low usage, high usage etc), if possible?
3. Are the entrepreneurs who will get access to the CEO app existing participants of Centro's programs? Or are they completely new participants? How do entreprenuers first hear about the app? What channels will Centro use? Do you anticipate different levels of impact for existing Centro customers compared to new app-only customers?

1. Please clarify the number of students participating in the STEM Talent Incubator and BeTek Incubator. We are trying to understand if students who complete the STEM Talent Incubator also participate in BeTek Incubator. Could you please provide distribution of students for both the Incubators?
2. Could you please help us understand the degree of change experienced by the students relative to a counterfactual? Please provide more details on - “% of graduates from the STEM Talent incubator access workforce, vocational training or post-secondary education in any area: Yr 1: STEM Talent incubator traditional:30% STEM Talent incubator in platform: 15% Yr 2: STEM Talent incubator traditional:35% STEM Talent incubator in platform: 20% 1,500 youth. Yr 3: STEM Talent incubator traditional: 40 % STEM Talent incubator in platform: 25%”
3. Please provide baseline data for the intended outcomes for BeTek Incubator - “Reduce the cost per individual by 20%, Increase the number of participants reached (100%), Increase the number of employers in our network who hire participants (100%), Increase the job placement rate by 12%, Virtualize 20% of the contents (web development fundamentals)

1. Can you confirm the number of people impacted by this program? It mentions "The initial batch of the program will impact 12 women leaders, who will receive up to 30 hours of personalized mentoring and training over four months. Simultaneously, 50 employees will benefit from 24 hours of training and practical workshops over a three-month period. To measure the program's long-term impact, a year-long follow-up with up to 10 touchpoints will be conducted." as well as "The program will directly impact 15 women leaders or co-founders from up to 3 different industries. These women will receive up to 30 hours of training and mentoring. Furthermore, 65 employees from these businesses will participate in targeted training and practical workshops, of up to 24 hours."
2. How much does a woman leader typically earn before joining this program?
3. Do you have any estimate of the number of additional jobs created by the participating organizations? If yes, what would be the typical earnings of those people?
4. Can you confirm that the salespeople going through the program will see salary increases consistent with inflation increase (or up to 10%)? Do you have an estimate of the bonuses and performance-based incentives they get?
5. Do you anticipate different income increase % for leaders and employees?

SM -
1. One impact goal for this grant is "Over the next three years (2024-2027) AOT will engage 3,600 underestimated students in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami and Atlanta." - What is the total cost to engage 3,600 underestimated students? Is it the amount of the requested GitLab Foundation grant - $500,000 - or more than the requested amount? We see from the 2023 annual report that a budget of $3 million impacted about 1,200 students, meaning it could cost about $2,600 per student, meaning the $500,000 GitLab grant would impact about 186 students. Is that the right way to think about the number of people imapcted through our specific funding?
2. Does AOT have an impact data/learnings on AOT's programs increasing the high school graduation rate among its students? Or does AOT make it more likely that their students will attend college? Another way to ask this is without AOT what percent of its students would go on to college or graduate high school?
