How to Get Your First Government Grant Webinar
2022-11-03 11:00 - 12:00
Join us for a webinar on How to get Your First Government Grant. The webinar will cover:

How nonprofits find government funding opportunities
Informal way to get government funding
Potential downsides of government funding

Many nonprofits got their first government funding through the various COVID relief funds, but now it’s time to learn how to secure a regular grant or contract. After all, government funding:

represents 30% of nonprofit funding,
can last for decades
is often specifically meant to serve low-income, rural, and people of color communities

It’s also daunting to try to get your first (non-COVID) government grant or contract. The American Rescue Plan funds (ARPA) will be ending in a year, and many nonprofits will experience that as a funding cliff. So join us for “How to Get Your First Government Grant” to learn the ropes and give you the confidence to go after government funding.

Grounding Values Survey: Help Your Community Based Nonprofit Gain More Funding
2022-10-07 - 2022-10-21
Do you work at a community development nonprofit? If so, it is important that every community based nonprofit takes the Grounding Values Survey! Get your story in front of policymakers & funders. Complete your Urban Institute survey.
The survey includes questions about your organization’s production, programs, leadership, needs, and services. It takes 30 minutes to complete on average, but can be shorter for organizations with a narrower range of activities. Respondents will be entered to into a raffle — and 100 of them will win $100 Visa gift cards. The survey closes on October 21.

How will this information be used?

Resources: This research will help the community development sector target resources, advocate for new funding structures, and reimagine relationships with investors and resources.
Capability: The results will be used to test key hypotheses about how community-based development organizations are meeting community needs and industry expectations.
Adaptability: The study will help our sector prepare for social and economic changes driven by climate change, calls for racial justice, and shifts in local market conditions
Leadership: We will use the results to support diverse leaders currently emerging in our sector as they meet this moment in history.

Interagency Forum on Broadband Access and Financial Institutions in Rural California
2022-08-02 11:30 - 13:00
High-speed broadband access is a critical requirement for participation in the modern world and with infrastructure money coming from the federal, state, and local level, the following question arises: How can banks, community groups, and financial regulators plan for providing communities with funding and technical assistance to implement sufficient, accessible broadband services? Join the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and California Reinvestment Coalition on August 2 for a community development forum to learn about opportunities for partnership and funding mechanisms to expand broadband services and advance digital equity in rural California. Topics include:

the challenges broadband presents in communities and solutions implemented by California-based groups;
examples of financial institutions’ current initiatives supporting broadband access; and
ways to receive Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) credit through a myriad of lending, investment, and service opportunities.

Earlier this month, federal regulators issued joint proposed regulations for updating requirements under the CRA. We now have an opportunity to deliver important feedback on these proposed changes that will hopefully put an end to lending discrimination as it exists today.

Hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the FDIC, and the OCC, in collaboration with the California Reinvestment Coalition.

What is CRA?
The CRA has been hugely impactful in providing credit, investments and financial services to underserved communities in California. In fact, the California Reinvestment Coalition, its members, and allies have negotiated over $75 Billion in loans, investments, and financial services for communities of color and low-income communities in California over the last two years as part of Community Benefits Agreements. Yet significant gaps remain in CRA rules and implementation, and the promise of CRA has not yet been realized. While the agencies make several positive suggestions in the proposed rule, we must oppose this proposal unless critical issues are addressed. The CRA must:

Take race into account and evaluate banks for service to borrowers and communities of color
Downgrade banks for harm such as discrimination, displacement, and fee gouging
Ensure affordable housing tax credits and lending are reviewed separately, and increased
Require banks to serve all areas (not 60%) where they take deposits and lend, and refrain from raising current asset thresholds which will decrease rural reinvestment
Prioritize the opening of branches and penalize the closing of branches in underserved areas
Elevate broadband/digital equity, access for Native American communities and climate resiliency
Scrutinize the qualitative impact of all lending tied to banks, and end Rent-A-Bank partnerships
Enhance community participation so that CRA activity is tied to community needs, CRA ratings reflect community impact, and bank mergers are denied unless they provide a clear public benefit that regulators will enforce

The use of the terms “people of color” and “communities of color” is meant to be inclusive of African American/Black, Latine/Hispanic, Asian American/Pacific Islander, and Native American persons and neighborhoods.
