Details:
Through a competitively bid process, Amity Foundation (Amity) was selected to act as Third-Party Administrator (TPA) to manage and distribute a portion of funds included in the CFCI spending plan, and Non-CFCI funds for Grants to Justice-Focused Community-Based Organizations. Amity will be responsible for distributing $55 million over three years across eight Program Areas with the goal of equitably increasing access to funds for organizations serving youth and those impacted by injustice and inequities within the criminal justice systems. Additionally, priority is given to organizations that have historically experienced barriers to accessing County funding.
Develop, implement, and operate career pathway programs for all youth, including diversionary and foster youth, that include community involvement and paid work experience in areas such as social work, civic engagement, arts and culture, and science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, including paid internships, fellowships, and apprenticeships as well as financial literacy training. Create more educational pathways that successfully transition youth into college (e.g., Community Colleges, CSUs, and UCs) and help them navigate into the higher education system.
