RICHMOND - ECIA COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM FY 2018-2019 GRANT APPLICATION GUIDELINES ECIA BACKGROUND On July 29, 2014, the Richmond City Council approved the Chevron Environmental and Community Investment Agreement (ECIA), which will invest $90 million dollars to the Richmond community over 10-years. The ECIA includes investments in community programs, a scholarship program, competitive community grants, community-based greenhouse gas reduction programs, and a photovoltaic solar farm. The ECIA specifies the amount and disbursement timeline of Chevron s funding obligation, as well as funding allocations over a ten-year period for the following programs: Scholarship program - $35 million Electric City and Easy Go - $18 million Roof-top solar, energy retrofit, zoning ordinance update - $6.25 million Job training program - $6 million Competitive grant program - $6 million Transportation and transit programs - $2.75 million Public safety programs - $2 million Urban Forestry - $2 million Free internet access - $1 million Climate Action Plan - $1 million Over the next 10 years, beginning in 2016, $6 million has been allocated from the ECIA to fund the competitive grant program. It is proposed that $650,000 is allocated for the FY 2018-19 grant cycle (a total of $600,000 for grants and $50,000 for city staff costs and capacity building training). It is the goal of the Richmond City Council to provide opportunities for organizations with varying capacities and financial needs to have access to ECIA grant funds. ECIA grant funds are awarded on an annual basis and therefore, organizations should not become reliant on this funding source. All Richmond-serving non-profit organizations are eligible to apply for funding; however, in an attempt to fund a variety of organizations, the City Council would like to allocate the majority of the available grant funding to organizations with smaller annual budgets, that might not have access to other forms of funding, have limited staffing and greater needs for capacity building. Guidelines -3- FY 2018-19 ECIA Grant

FISCAL SPONSORSHIPS What types of organizations should utilize a fiscal sponsor? A non-governmental organization (sponsoree) that does not have 501(c)(3) tax status must utilize a fiscal sponsor in order to apply for this grant. It is the sole responsibility of the sponsoree to find an organization with 501(c)(3) tax status that is willing to serve as a fiscal sponsor. What is a fiscal sponsorship? A fiscal sponsorship allows organizations without 501(c)(3) tax status to apply for the ECIA grant, as well as other grants, that require an organization to have such status. A fiscal sponsorship agreement should be entered into between the sponsoree and an organization that has 501(c)(3) tax status. The fiscal sponsorship agreement allows the sponsoree to raise tax deductible contributions through grants and individual donations. Tax deductible funds are given to the fiscal sponsor and restricted to the use of the sponsoree. How does a fiscal sponsorship work for the ECIA grant process?: The fiscal sponsor will serve as the applicant. Fiscal sponsors will enter into a grant services agreement with the City of Richmond and must meet all requirements and submit all required documents. A signed agreement between the sponsoree and fiscal sponsor must be included in the submitted application. The organization actually implementing the program and performing the services will act as the sponsoree or fiscal sponsor s sub-grantee. Fiscal sponsors can also apply for grants. In addition to requesting funds for its own purposes, organizations may also act as a fiscal agent for other organizations. COLLABORATING ORGANIZATIONS Through this grant program, the City strongly encourages applicants to collaborate with other organizations. Collaboration is a mutually beneficial relationship for the purpose of meeting a common goal. Collaboration can come in many forms, from information sharing to joint programming. It can help organizations reduce redundancy in service sectors, leverage resources, share strengths, and increase efficiencies. For purposes of this grant, when partnering with another organization, the application and budget of the lead organization will be considered for review and determination of funding. Therefore, the partnering organization is free to apply independently for funding for another project or program. Guidelines -7- FY 2018-19 ECIA Grant
