You asked for information on grants from GO Topeka in 2022 and 2023. Below is list of items in the line of our budget titled "grants/contributions/sponsorships/scholarships".
Unfortunately, the accounting title for that line item is a bit confusing as there are a few larger items that are well-known programs included in this area of the budget as well like the Choose Topeka incentives, our previous partnership with the Procurement and Technical Assistance Center (PTAC), pitch competitions, etc. I pulled out all the costs that are categorized in this area for accounting but are actually hard program costs. Example: Cost of our investment in the Kansas City Area Development Council (regional organization for new business recruitment).
Happy to discuss.
