Happy Wednesday!

Just checking in on this. We’re already on a tight timeline because of the delays in our strategic planning process so I want to make sure we can get this released whichever way needed so we can get contracts in place by July 1st.

Thanks again!

Hi Travis!

Just checking in to see if you’ve heard anything from Marcos. We were hoping to release the RFA on Friday, but should we shift to an RFP? I can draft one pretty quickly in OpenGov but thought I’d check in before I start anything.

Thank you. I’m waiting to see what Marcos suggests. My feeling is that he’s going to ask us to process an RFP because with his first email, that would be the logical next step. Sorry for the confusion.

Dear Travis:

So the idea is that Children Youth and Family Services wants to give away money (grants) to non-profits? This probably isn't a procurement, if it is a grant. However, it does sound like a donation, which they cannot do unless an exception applies. Briefly the exceptions to the anti-donation clause are:

1. care and maintenance of sick and indigent persons;

2. veterans' scholarship program for Vietnam conflict veterans;

3. loans to students of the healing arts;

4. Econmic development; and

5. Affordable housing.

I don't see these grants fitting into any of these exceptions. Therefore, the City would have to receive goods or service to pay non-profits.

Hi Marcos, Youth and Families wishes to process an RFA to give out grants. Please see below for context. Do you agree that the proposed projects fall outside procurement?

Thanks, Travis

Good morning Travis, The Youth and Family Services Division respectfully requests a determination for the Children and Youth Commission Multi-Year Grants. Below is the information for the funding.

CHILDREN AND YOUTH COMMISSION (AGES 0-21)

VISION

A connected community where all children and youth have the support and opportunity to thrive.

MISSION

We advocate for and provide resources to organizations and community projects. Together we creatively address barriers that result in positive outcomes by engaging children, youth, and families in Santa Fe.

Funding for the Children and Youth Commission Fund comes from a percentage of the City’s share of the state gross receipts tax (GRT) and is administered to fund local nonprofits (funding amount varies due to

GRT fluctuations). The commission is dedicated to enhancing community services, expanding equitable access, and fostering sustainable growth in program effectiveness by allocating funding to support local community programs that promote the healthy development of children and youth, ages birth to twenty-one (21).
