recommendation
I move that the Mayor and Council approve the donation of Ward 3 discretionary funds in the amount of $1,700 to support Hyattsville residents who are the first in their family to attend college. The funds shall be donated to First Generation College Bound (FGCB) with the stipulation that the full amount be allocated directly to program enrollees who are residents of the City of Hyattsville.

Summary Background:
First Generation College Bound is a 501(c)(3) organization based in Prince George’s County whose mission is to inspire low income and first-generation youth to achieve their social and economic success by providing advice, encouragement, and support to obtain a college degree.
FGCB staff have confirmed that current Hyattsville residents are enrolled in their programs who could benefit from financial support towards education costs and that a donation may be restricted to support only Hyattsville residents.
