We Can Help
If you're a non-profit organization, public agency or community group, we invite you to submit a proposal for funding. We invest in both citywide and neighborhood efforts, as well as programs that serve a specific community (such as homeless families, children living with their grandparents, LGBT families, children with special needs or children who do not speak English at home).
Please keep in mind that we only accept applications in response to our periodically announced funding opportunities, called Requests for Proposals (RFPs).
If you'd like to be notified when future RFPs become available, email us and tell us how we can reach you. You can also look over past Requests for Proposals to see how we've connected with groups to support their essential work.
Current Opportunities
2010-2011 Parent ACTION RFP
Due Date: June 10th, 2010, 5pm. Applications must be received at First 5 San Francisco office. No applications will be accepted through fax or email.
There are two types of grant applications. The Starter Grant is intended for parent groups supported by agencies (community based organizations, preschools, elementary school Kindergarten classrooms, church groups, etc.) for parents with children 0-5 years of age. The Starter Grant is a pre-cursor to the 1st Year Grants intended to build agency staff capacity on parent engagement by facilitating a group of parents to design and implement their own projects.
The First Year Grant is intended for parent groups with or without agency support. Parents are expected to take on more responsibilities on their own to design and implement the projects.
For further details, please refer to the Information/Application packet. Please direct questions to Elaine Wang at 415-554-8966 or ewang@first5sf.org.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to attend Q&A sessions listed on the applications.
Applicants should check back here for grant updates/revisions.
