My CP, the Independent Police Auditor- Teen Leadership Council relies on money from public services to keep the program growing. We rely on the city to fund us. However, when we first started the IPA-TLC in 2011 there was very little funding for the IPA-TLC. The Castro family who won the lottery a couple years back agreed to donate five thousands dollars to the IPA-TLC if we could match them by fundraising the same amount. Judge Cordell the Independent Police Auditor had to go before the city council and the mayor and had to get this idea approved. Once it was approved Judge Cordell was able to meet the quota the Castro family provided. The IPA-TLC relies on a lot of funding to hold the month meetings, to go on retreats and to do the outreach. Each year Judge Cordell has to submit a proposal of the budget to the city and it has to be approved. Since the IPA-TLC has been created many people have been delighted to donate to this great organization that is making a difference in San Jose. With the help of city and private donations the IPA-TLC is now recruiting for their fourth year.
