This grant program is administered by Indian River County <br />with assistance from the Children's Services Advisory Committee (CSAC) consistent with Ordinance <br />Number 2022-007 and the County's Outside Agency Funding Policy Revisions approved by the Board on <br />August 4, 2022. In response to the RFP, the County received 56 proposals that totaled $3,766,993 in <br />requested funding.

The proposal evaluation criteria included: priority of an identified need(s), <br />program viability, measurable outcomes, organizational capacity, and financial health. The <br />Subcommittee's evaluation and discussion resulted in the recommendation of awards to 46 programs and <br />contingency funding for two additional programs if awarded funding becomes available through default, <br />noncompliance, or early termination of an awarded grant program during the fiscal year. <br />On June 12, 2023, the CSAC reviewed and approved the Subcommittee' funding allocations for children's <br />programs as recommended by the Grant Review Subcommittee. A copy of the recommended funding <br />schedule is attached. Copies of all grant applications submitted are on file for review in the Commission <br />Office. <br />FUNDING <br />On March 7, 2023, the Board approved the children's services funding for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 in the <br />amount of $2,773,383.
