The Nevada County Board of Supervisors, through the Adult and Family Services Commission, anticipates the authorization of funding to support programs that alleviate the causes of poverty in Nevada County through the issuance of Community Initiative Funds (CIF).
The purpose of this RFP is to solicit from qualified non-profit applicants, proposals designed to diminish the causes of poverty in Nevada County and promote family self-sufficiency through projects that support educational and cognitive development; income and asset building; nutrition; housing, and/or; health and social/behavioral development as identified in 2022-2023 Community Services Block Grant Community Action Plan (CSBG CAP). Proposals that align with these Needs will receive priority through the scoring process. Projects must support programs that mitigate root causes of poverty and improve conditions of extreme poverty, for low-income Nevada County households.
It is estimated that the Community Initiative Funding (CIF) available under this RFP will total $30,000. Funds will be allocated on a one-time only basis to two separate projects at an amount not to exceed $15,000 each; the term of award is July 1, 2023-June 30, 2024. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations. CIF funds are NOT intended to provide long-term support for a project and may not be used to pay for administrative overhead costs, which includes staff and operating costs of the non-profit, or to supplant other funding sources.
CIF funding must be targeted to low-income residents.
All proposals should address and clearly identify how poverty in Nevada County will be reduced and/or how family self-sufficiency will be improved.
