Exhibit A
AMENDED SCOPE OF SERVICES
Service Agreement between City of Fresno
and Central Valley Immigrant Integration
Collaborative
Local Immigrant Integration and Inclusion Grant
ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY AND SERVICES
A. The first tranche of services to be provided are designed to accentuate the entrepreneur pipeline and are as follows:
-Facilitate connections with industry professionals;
-Facilitate access to capital and financing resources;
-Facilitate coordination with local entrepreneurship networks and resources; -Workshops on entrepreneurship tools and resources; and -Facilitate assistance with permitting within the CITY and Fresno County.
CITY is a majority-minority jurisdiction, with Hispanics making up the primary ethnic group in the metropolitan area. All communications will be provided in Spanish and English.
The second tranche of services will be centered around digital literacy, an increasingly critical deficiency that is causing significant barriers to entrepreneurs. In fact, a pre-pandemic study by the Fresno Coalition for Digital Inclusion found that 21% of those surveyed in the Central Valley had no internet at home and that 54% did not have an email address. To this end, significant support in the form of workshops is proposed to provide comprehensive digital literacy comprehension.
Under the first part of the proposed activities (navigation), a full time staff member that is a native Spanish speaker with significant connections to the local business support community will be recruited. They will then begin building on ho listic efforts previously engaged in by the CITY and CVIIC to accentuate the type and quantity of resources that can be provided.
A more formalized referral process with tracking will also be explored through a collaborative partnership.
B. The second portion of services anticipates a second full time staff member that will be conducting intensive native language digital literacy training. The training will include basic operational skills, such as computer basics, internet usage, email communications, commonly used resources, and troubleshoot ing issues. Training will include a benefit analysis of not just how to use these digital tools, but the benefit to doing so, and an overview of the resources that are available electronically.
C. This proposal intends to create two new FTE positions, which CVIIC can continue after the LIIIG funding concludes. CVIIC's overall financial situation and its entrepreneurship- related funding are solid and largely relies on private foundation grants. Thus, CVIIC has not been dependent on State of California-related funding opportunities. Its principal entrepreneurship funder has just renewed for two years a grant for $320,000 per year. Five other entrepreneurship/economic mobility grants for a total of $435,000 have also been approved and are being implemented. That support, and others, will be used to preserve sustainability of efforts under this application.
D. Over the course of the year, the following activities will be carried out:
Docusign Envelope ID: 9A0E2518-F1D8-4BD9-AE57-AD50257348A6
-Recruit and enroll two separate 8-week cohorts of 30 Latino immigrants in Spanish- language entrepreneurship courses.
-Individualized technical assistance.
-Recruit and enroll in digital literacy courses up to 16 cohorts (10-15 participants) of low- income, Spanish-speaking, Latino immigrants.
-Continued development of regional network of organizations. -In Fall 2023 CVIIC intends to launch a Latino immigrant entrepreneurship incubator. -Program participants will be connected and referred to partner agencies. -Connection to CVIIC’s nonprofit immigration legal services network. -Program participants and Fresno immigrant residents at large will also be offered enrollment in a self-paced.
entrepreneurship learning platform (MOBI) created by Santa Clara University, to continue their entrepreneurial training beyond the program.
-Program participants will be encouraged to join a Latino immigrant entrepreneurs Facebook group created by CVIIC that already has over 1,100 members. -CVIIC will pursue research oppor tunities focused on immigran t entrepreneurship that can be of relevance to partner organizations and public sector institutions, and that can shed light on the ecosystem in which Latinos and other local immigrants operate. -Organization of an immigrant entrepreneurs conference/expo with a target audience of 200 people, including immigrant entrepreneurs and representatives of local, state, and federal agencies.
D.1 The extended funding will provide continued services as outlined above and the following additional services through the end of 2025:
-Two Spanish language entrepreneurship courses. One basic curriculum and one advanced focusing on e-commerce. Estimated 20-30 people per cohort. -5 Spanish language digital literacy courses. Introductory level basic digital literacy and digital tools for entrepreneurs. An average of 15 participants per class. -Continued referral services for capital access and other services offered by local partner agencies.
-Continued connections to City of Fresno Departments and City Hall tours. -Organizing of Semana de Immigranted Emprendedores (Immigrant Entrepreneurs Week) events, offering in-person and virtual trainings and networking opportunities. -Connection of LIIIG participants to the Latino immigrant entrepreneurs network that CVIIC has created over the years.
-Scheduling thematic and industry specific mini trainings, from May to December 2025.
E. CITY maintains a policy concerning the utilization of confidential electronic information that is housed within Administrative Order 8-11, Use of Electronic Systems and Tools. That policy specifically provides for maintaining the confidentiality of information, and that violation of confidentiality can result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
As subgrantee, CVIIC will follow the City of Fr esno’s policies and procedures. Internally, CVIIC staff will only request basic information from participants and rely on encrypted online storage of participant information

ADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITY
A. General fiscal management for this grant will be conducted in compliance with accepted governmental accounting practices and in compliance with City of Fresno Administrative Order 1-1 “Gr ant Award Administration.” Sp ecifically, Administrative Order 1-1 provides for coor dination between the applicant City of Fresno department and the City of Fresno Finance Department, which conducts periodic and/or final audit reviews, as well as retention and management of all financial records.
B. CVIIC’s Executive Director and the Director of Immigrant Entrepreneurship will be in charge of program management and reporting. Accounting, bookkeeping and fiscal management are carried out by a firm, Industry Standard Inc. that specializes in providing a full-service package to agencies like CVIIC.
COLLABORATION
A. The City of Fresno Economic Developmen t Department will support this project primarily through the in-kind expenditure of salaries and benefits of associated staff.
