USE OF FUNDS

Supporting the full path from planning to documented implementation.

Cooling equipment and mechanical work
Equipment, materials, and mechanical requirements associated with the approved project scope.

Electrical and installation requirements
Electrical work, installation labor, permitting, facility access, and implementation needs.

Project logistics and contingency
Transportation, coordination, site requirements, unexpected project conditions, and reasonable contingency.

Monitoring and documentation
Temperature and humidity monitoring, project reporting, closeout documentation, and lessons that may inform future work.

One pilot can help build the case for broader action.

This pilot is designed to document the cost, logistics, installation requirements, and measurable results of cooling an occupied correctional dormitory. The objective is not to privately fund Florida’s correctional infrastructure indefinitely. It is to develop credible evidence, a practical implementation model, and a stronger case for future public investment.

CAMPAIGN STEWARDSHIP

Your support will be managed with transparency and practical accountability.

Gifts made through this campaign are designated to support the CFRC pilot and related project costs. They are not legally restricted to a particular contractor, equipment configuration, or exact project component. If the approved scope changes or funds remain after the project, Degrees of Humanity may use those funds for additional cooling work at CFRC, another correctional facility, or closely related charitable purposes. Material changes will be communicated transparently.
