The City of Rochester is seeking partner organizations to provide violence prevention programs in the City of Rochester using a portion of the City’s federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) State and local Fiscal Recovery Fund allocation.
Donor Name: City of Rochester
State: New York
City: Rochester
Type of Grant: Program
Deadline: 08/15/2022
Size of the Grant: Up to $5,000,000
Details:
Given the vital importance of, and demonstrable need for violence reduction in the City of Rochester, the City seeks a Sub recipient(s) or Grantee(s) to provide violence prevention programming and services. The City seeks innovative proposals which demonstrate the ability of a Sub recipient or Grantee to carry out violence reduction programming in a skillful and competent manner, from qualified organizations with experience in the field, including grassroots organizations that may not have an extensive formal structure in place, and may need the assistance of a fiscal sponsor for fiduciary oversight and other administrative services.
The City seeks qualified organizations to form a network of community providers and system partners who strive together to support people at the center of violence. This network will be known as the Rochester Peace Collective (RPC). As part of the RPC Sub recipients or Grantees must agree to be collaborative, to work together and to eliminate silos in their objective of reducing violence in the City of Rochester. The RPC will likely hold monthly meetings to share information among the participating organizations. RPC organizations will also participate in an evaluation progress so that the community may learn about the most effective efforts in this space.
