AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FORM
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City of Miami was awarded a grant from the Department of Health and Human Services
(DHHS) the Compassion Capital Fund Demonstration (CCF) Grant (Resolution 07-0641) in the
amount of $500,000 per year for three (3) years for the Miami NICE Initiative, a capacity -
building program for faith -based and community organizations in the community.
On February 13, 2009 an RFQ was issued for a one year period, contingent on the availability of
funds, and that the agencies had met their contractual obligations; and grant guidelines; to
provide Technical Assistance Awards to non-profit organizations, and the administration and
leadership team through a review process has proposed the agencies listed in "Attachment A" the
highest scored for the Miami NICE Technical Assistance Award.
As a condition of the program design of the Miami NICE grant, faith -based and community
organizations are required to fulfill a two tier process to receive a TA Award and subsequently
become eligible to apply for a Sub -Award grant. TA Awards are free, one-on-one technical
assistance to each agency (not cash award). The outcome of the TA Award is that agencies apply
for the Sub -award Grants, which are cash grants awarded through a competitive, Request for
Proposal (RFP) process that will take place on August 21St, 2009. Although we cannot determine
how much money each organization will receive through the upcoming Sub -Award Process, we
respectfully request acceptance of a total amount not to exceed $210,000 to be disbursed among
the eligible FBCO's as per the RFP responses. It is anticipated that at least $5,000 to $20,000 in
grants will be awarded to each organization. Disbursements of Sub -Awards will begin October 1,
2009.
