body
BACKGROUND
The Board of Supervisors may allocate community grant funds for nonprofit support and community benefit.
The first is Molly’s Angels, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of seniors in Napa County by providing essential services that promote independence, dignity, and well-being. The amount of $2,000 in Board of Supervisors’ District 1 community grant funds will be used to support their Annual Senior Holiday Lunch where they bring together 300+ older adults and a resource fair of all their community partners.
The second is Napa Valley Together, a community initiative that builds on the existing One Napa Valley Initiative, and unites trusted local organizations in a shared mission: to uphold immigrant rights, ensure due process under the law, outreach and education. Napa Valley Together funds are administered by the Napa Valley Community Foundation. The amount of $3,000 in Board of Supervisors’ District 1 community grant funds will be used to support staff training, reduce the climate of fear created by misinformation, and safeguard the continued prosperity of our community.
Requested Action: Approve and authorize allocation of Board of Supervisors’ funds for nonprofit support and community benefit.
