December 5, 2023
The City received notice of funding award in September 2023, with a start date of October 1, 2023. Specifically, the City was awarded $275,049, with $157,500 to provide business development and technical assistance services, and $67,950 to provide financial coaching, literacy, and counseling services, with the balance of$49,599 to support the City’s grant administration.

Staf
f recommends approval of the proposed resolution to 1) accept and appropriate the $275,049 in LIIG award funds from GoBIZ; 2) execute a grant agreement with The Unity Council in an amount not to exceed $157,500 to provide technical assistance and business support services for immigrant entrepreneurs in Vietnamese, Spanish and Mam (an indigenous Guatemalan language); and 3) execute a grant agreement with the Feed The Hunger Fund in an amount not to exceed $67,950 to provide financial coaching and literacy services to immigrant food entrepreneurs..

Approv
al of the proposed resolution will provide an opportunity to continue building upon the City’s equitable economic development and recovery efforts by facilitating direct technical assistance programs and capacity building for immigrant entrepreneurs while also covering a portion of the City’s internal grant administration costs. This proposed project will focus on primarily assisting small businesses located in disadvantaged communities throughout Oakland in high and highest priority neighborhoods as defined by the City of Oakland’s Racial Equity Toolkit.

BACKGROUND / LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
The GoBIZ LI
IG program aims to support the development or expansion of immigrant integration efforts and enhance the organizational capacity of local governments to support immigrant populations in California.

The Cit
y has long been known as a place where immigrant and refugee families have relocated, due in part to access to a variety of nonprofit supportive services that assist families to transition into new communities and providing pathways to economic stability. With more than 26% of the City’s population being foreign born, Oakland has historically partnered with nonprofit organizations to provide immigrant families with services ranging from children, youth, senior and family supportive services; health and well-being services; access to workforce and employment programs; business development assistance; developing affordable housing; legal assistance and many other services to help immigrants. Currently, in the City 39.4 percent of the population speaks a language other than English at home, with business advocates and community partners surfacing a need to serve Spanish, Mam (Indigenous Guatemalan), and Vietnamese speaking entrepreneurs in their native language become economically stabilized Durin
g COVID, the City and its partners outreached to over 300 small businesses to collect data on their struggles experienced prior to and during COVID. Data showed 91% of home-based businesses were owned by immigrants, women and black and indigenous people of color (BIPOC) that reported income of less than $30,000 per year. Major concerns were threats of Jestin D. Johnson, City Administrator

displacement; lack of culturally sensitive programs and resources; need for financial planning; and lack
of banking relationships with limited access to capital.

In Jul
y 2021, the City of Oakland received a $1M Federal Economic Development Administration (EDA) grant to address Pandemic Recovery and Resiliency by providing one-on- one technical assistance to small BIPOC businesses in Oakland over two years. The City partners with the three organizations that have the expertise, cultural, and linguistic competency to deliver these services, one of which is The Unity Council, to ensure that culturally relevant technical assistance is delivered to small businesses in low-income neighborhood commercial corridors throughout the City. The Unity Council, located in the Fruitvale, is a non-profit 501(c)3 community development corporation that provides a number of services that support the City’s economic and community development goals, including deployment of its Small Business Center, which provides direct services to entrepreneurs and small businesses. Their comprehensive programs reach more than 8,000 individuals and families annually in five languages and include early childhood education, youth mentorship and leadership development, employment services, career readiness, business development, housing and financial stability, senior citizen services, affordable housing, and arts and cultural events.

The Cit
y also partners with Feed The Hunger Fund to administer a $500,000 EDA Revolving Loan Fun that provides loans to small businesses at accessible interest rates and lending parameters that favor small businesses at various stages of start up and growth. Feed the Hunger Fund has administered the Revolving Loan Fund for over twelve years, deploying grants within six weeks, while also providing business technical assistance to small entrepreneurs.

Feed the Hunger Fund’s focus is to provide micro and small business loans to low-income, BIPOC, immigrants, and women excluded or not served through mainstream financial services.

Feed the Hunger Fund’s multilingual staff provide business development assistance to enhance their skills and overcome hurdles, including navigating and online platform of over 200 modules of business tools.

Both or
ganizations have forged a partnership based on shared program success serving immigrant entrepreneurs, recognizing that language specific business services need to be provided in the primary immigrant languages of Spanish, Mam (Indigenous Guatemalan), and Vietnamese, representing a growing and under-resourced demographic in the food entrepreneurship community. As such, they approached the City to apply for these first-ever funds dedicated to supporting immigrant entrepreneurs.

Oakl
and in partnership with co-applicants, The Unity Council and Feed the Hunger Fund, has proposed a model program that puts resources towards immigrant start-up businesses to build a more resilient inclusive business community in Oakland. The partners have the cultural and language capacity to serve the Spanish, Mam (Indigenous Guatemalan), and Vietnamese speaking populations, representing underserved limited English-speaking language groups in Oakland.

Sinc
e the award notification, staff has been working to execute the required grant agreement and final forms and a scope of work.

ANALYSIS AND POLICY ALTERNATIVES
About 27%
of Californians are immigrants, and half of California’s kids have at least one immigrant parent. This LIIG program through GoBIZ provides funding for local governments to bolster efforts focused on helping immigrant families thrive and contribute – increasing community trust and enhancing the ability of local governments to serve their immigrant communities successfully.

The LIIG aw
ard offers an opportunity to address identified needs of immigrant small businesses in the City recovering from COVID-19 impacts by using $275,049 in State grant funds for immigrant entrepreneur technical assistance and training. Approval of the requested action advances the Citywide priority of housing, economic, and cultural security.

GoBIZ LIIG permits partial cost recovery for administration costs. GoBIZ uses a pre-negotiated indirect cost formula rate that can be applied to the grant which results in $49,599 for City administrative expenses, which includes fiscal accounting, project oversight, and reporting requirements associated with the project activities.

The Uni
ty Council and the Feed the Hunger Fund are uniquely positioned to deliver on this LIIG program because they are trusted community organizations with linguistic and cultural capacity.

2 3
A. The City of Oakland has long been known as a city where immigrant and refugee families have been relocated, due in part to access to a variety of nonprofit supportive services that assist families in realizing a better life and providing pathways to economic stability. With more than 26% of the City’s population being foreign born, Oakland has historically partnered with nonprofit organizations to provide immigrant families with services ranging from children, youth, senior and family supportive services; health and well-being services; access to workforce and employment programs; business development assistance; developing affordable housing; legal assistance and many other services to help immigrants become economically stabilized.

Currently, in the City of Oakland 26% of the population is foreign born, with a need to serve Spanish, Mam (Indigenous Guatemalan), and Vietnamese in their native language, which has been the basis for selecting our partner organizations, Spanish Speaking Unity Council ("Unity Council") and Feed the Hunger Fund (“FTHF”).

B. The Spanish Speaking Unity Council (“Unity Council”) located in the Fruitvale, has been a trusted community partner in Oakland since it was established over 55 years ago as a nonprofit 501(c)3 community development corporation. Given the long-term history of collaboration, the City selected the Unity Council as a subgrantee to provide the cultural and linguistic assistance so immigrants can establish businesses that provide economic stability for their families. The Unity Council provides immigrants with the tools, knowledge, and resources to transform their lives and ultimately achieve long-term educational, career, and financial goals. Their comprehensive programs and services reach more than 8,000 individuals and families annually in five languages. Programs include early childhood education, youth mentorship and leadership development, employment services, career readiness, business development, housing and financial stability, senior citizen services, affordable housing, and arts and cultural events. The Unity Council employs a diverse workforce of over 300 people who reflect the linguistic, cultural, and ethnic identity of the communities they serve. The City of Oakland has provided grants throughout the years to the Unity Council that has submitted regular financial and programmatic reports that demonstrate their success and the positive impact of their community work.

The City also partners with a local CDFI, Feed the Hunger Fund (FTHF) with over 12 years of experience managing federal EDA Revolving Loan Funds. Their first EDA-RLF was awarded in 2010 and FTHF currently administers the City of Oakland’s RLF. With over $2.5 Million of EDA-RLF funds deployed, FTHF is familiar with the EDA and other governmental reporting requirements. In the fall of 2020, FTHF received CARES-Act funding from the City of Oakland to deploy to 20 street food vendors. Working with the City, FTHF deployed these grants within six weeks, while also providing business technical assistance to these small entrepreneurs.

FTHF's focus is to provide micro/small loans to low-income, BIPOC, immigrants and women left out of mainstream financing. FTHF is often the first loan that these businesses receive. Thus, to be successful, it is imperative that the start-up businesses receive sound business development to enhance their skills and help them overcome hurdles inherent to small entrepreneurs. FTHF's bilingual staff provide this assistance and utilizes an on-line platform of 200+ modules of business tools.

Both Unity Council and FTHF are trusted organizations that have forged a partnership based on shared values to serve immigrant entrepreneurs. Recognizing that specific business services need to be provided in the primary immigrant languages of Spanish, Mam (Indigenous Guatemalan), and Vietnamese, the Unity Council and FTHF will coordinate business services.

The City will convene monthly partner meetings to review program updates and challenges. Data is tracked and reported monthly to ensure timely submission of Go BIZ quarterly reports. Partners track the following:

1. Name and contact information for entrepreneurs; 2. Ethnicity, race, age, and gender; 3. Country of origin

4. Primary language; 5. Type of business; 6. Type of activities/services provided to individuals; 7. Impact/stories C. The City and its partners outreached to over 300 small businesses during COVID to collect data on their struggles experienced prior to and during COVID. Data showed 91% of home-based businesses were owned by immigrants, women and BIPOC that reported income of less than $30k per year. Major concerns were threats of displacement; lack of culturally sensitive programs and resources; need for financial planning; and lack of banking relationships with limited access to capital. These concerns persist and our partnership shares a commitment to serve the small businesses in Oakland. We will continue to survey businesses by conducting monthly meetings to obtain feedback from businesses to ensure refinement and adjustment of services meet the needs of the small businesses.

5 A. Oakland has been a leader in equitable economic development with the specific intent to help women and BIPOC businesses. Given the opportunity that lies in Oakland to support micro-enterprise and small businesses, with a focus on immigrant and women owned businesses, the partners will provide culturally and linguistically competent business assistance and financial support programs to ensure these businesses are established and successful. Oakland in partnership with co-applicants, the Unity Council and Feed the Hunger Fund (“FTHF”), a CDFI that works with immigrant food related entrepreneurs, has established a model program that puts resources towards immigrant start-up businesses to build a more resilient inclusive business community in Oakland. The partners have the cultural and language capacity to serve the Spanish, Mam (Indigenous Guatemalan), and Vietnamese populations which are the predominate limited English-speaking language groups in Oakland.

B. The Unity Council will conduct extensive outreach to the immigrant community in Oakland. An additional staff person, who has previously worked with both Unity Council and FTHF, will be added to serve the Vietnamese community. Unity Council will also utilize community sponsored events to reach out to potential immigrant entrepreneurs. Also, services to new immigrant entrepreneurs will also be promoted though the various Unity Council programs that include Head Start families and existing businesses throughout the Fruitvale and in Little Saigon.

FTHF's business assistance starts at the initial stages of engagement, offering business workshops complemented by individual coaching sessions. Then, FTHF continues supporting the entrepreneurs needing capital to launch or improve their businesses through the loan application process and is extended post-loan to aid in developing the business.

While FTHF continues to monitor and provide businesses with additional skill sets, it finds other opportunities to connect these entrepreneurs with the industry. FTHF actively promotes synergies among borrowers to address needs in their communities. Over the next year, FTHF will serve 72 startup entrepreneurs. From those 72 participants, 24 will enroll in individual coaching sessions receiving an average of 4 individual sessions. By the end of the year, at least 8 entrepreneurs will have received loan and grant capital.

D. The Unity Council will assign one fulltime Business Engagement Specialist to this project to work with the Spanish speaking and Mam population and will hire a part time Senior Business Advisor to work with the Vietnamese speaking population. This program will leverage three other already existing positions, a Digital Literacy Instructor, a Business and Community Relations Manager and an Economic Development Manager. Together this team outreaches and recruits program participants, provides technical assistance including digital literacy instruction, individual coaching and translation services. This team will also convene entrepreneurs for networking and peer-to-peer learning opportunities and produces other special events throughout the year as an opportunity for entrepreneurs to prototype and test their products and services. Lastly this team works together to monitor, evaluate, refine programming and produce impact reports.

E. Over the next year, FTHF will serve 72 startup entrepreneurs. From those 72 participants, 24 will enroll in individual coaching sessions receiving an average of 4 individual sessions. By the end of the year, at least 8 entrepreneurs will have received loan and grant capital.

7 A. The City of Oakland has decades of experience managing State and Federal programs including $117M for Capital Improvement Programs; Housing & Community Development Department disbursement of $55M of Measure Bond funds; Human Services Department management of a Federal Head Start grant of over $18M with multiple sites throughout the City; and the Oakland Workforce Development Board (OWDB), in conformance with the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, manages over $5M to fund nonprofits to provide workforce services.

In 2017, twelve East Oakland neighborhood organizations approached the City to apply for the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) Transformative Climate Community (TCC) planning grant to implement a year-long community engagement process in partnership with City departments. The ‘Better Neighborhoods, Same Neighbors’ Community Plan, was the result of a the neighborhood planning process and provided the framework for the TCC Implementation grant.

In July 2020, the California Strategic Growth Council’s TCC Program awarded the City of Oakland “Better Neighborhoods, Same Neighbors” Initiative (“BNSN”) with a $28.2M grant to manage the implementation of 5 projects and 3 transformative plans led by nonprofit partners, including community engagement, displacement avoidance, and workforce development. The City manages and administers the grant which includes compiling the reports and invoices to be submitted to the State for reimbursement. Because the State’s payment process can be lengthy, the City approved a special City Council approved process for drawing on advance funding to ensure small nonprofits were not facing financial burdens. The advance payment process has proven to be a model that the SGC is promoting with other TCC grant funded cities that have multiple nonprofit partners.

In July 2021, the City of Oakland received a $1M Federal Economic Development Administration (EDA) grant to address Pandemic Recovery and Resiliency by providing one-on-one technical assistance to small BIPOC businesses in Oakland over two years. The City partners with three organizations that have the expertise, cultural, and linguistic competency to deliver these services and it includes the Unity Council to ensure cultural and linguistic 1-on-1 business technical assistance is delivered to the small businesses in the low-income neighborhood commercial corridors throughout the City.

This EDA grant also funds Merriwether Williams Insurance Services to implement a contractor technical assistance program providing business support services to small construction contractors to help businesses navigate the requirements to successfully bid on City construction contracts. Training is provided in areas such as pre-qualification, certification with city policies, online bidding, permitting, qualifying for bonding and insurance, and compliance with public construction labor reporting requirements.

The City also partners with FTHF to administer a $500K EDA Revolving Loan Fund that provides loans to small businesses at reasonable interest rates.

The current grants administered by the Economic and Workforce Development Department include: $28.2M Strategic Growth Council TCC grant; $1M EDA small business assistance grant; and $500K EDA Revolving Loan Fund. All these grants require data collection and submission of financial and programmatic reports on a regular schedule of either bi- monthly or quarterly. The nonprofit partners use Salesforce and download into Excel that includes demographic data supporting programs’ focus on serving underserved populations in designated low-income neighborhoods in Oakland.

The City convenes monthly meetings with partners to discuss any challenges and adjustments that need to be made to ensure program goals are met. As the grant administrator, the City reviews the data and compiles program and financial reports for submission to the Federal or State Program Officer for each grant.

The City requires contract agreements with nonprofits that includes verification of 501(c)3 status; Certificate of Good Standing with the State; Business license; Compliance with ADA, Living Wage, and Equal Benefits; compliance with specific City ordinances; and Insurance. The City will request required State documents specific to this grant. The contracts with Unity Council and FTHF, includes a scope of work with the schedule for submitting reports and invoices. Upon submission of acceptable reports and invoices, City program and fiscal staff will approve payment to the nonprofit, pay the invoice, and submit the reimbursement request to the State.

C. Cristy Johnston is the Deputy Director for Economic and Workforce Development and is responsible for managing business development projects including grants to nonprofit partners and required reporting to the State. Cristy will review all reports and invoices from the partners to ensure grant compliance. Upon approval, invoices will be submitted to the fiscal department.

Dear Taxpayer:

We're responding to your request dated Apr. 09, 2019, about your tax-exempt status.

We issued you a determination letter in October 1968, recognizing you as tax-exempt under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501(c) (3).

We also show you're not a private foundation as defined under IRC Section 509(a) because you're described in IRC Sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi).

Donors can deduct contributions they make to you as provided in IRC Section 170. You're also qualified to receive tax deductible bequests, legacies, devises, transfers, or gifts under IRC Sections 2055, 2106, and 2522.

In the heading of this letter, we indicated whether you must file an annual information return. If you're required to file a return, you must file one of the following by the 15th day of the 5th month after the end of your annual accounting period:
- Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax - Form 990EZ, Short Form Return of Organization - Exempt From Income Tax
- Form 990-N, Electronic Notice (e-Postcard) for Tax-Exempt Organizations Not Required to File Form 990 or Form 990-EZ - Form 990-PF, Return of Private Foundation or Section 4947(a)(1) Trust Treated as Private Foundation
According to IRC Section 6033(j), if you dont file a required annual information return or notíce for 3 consecutive years, we'll revoke your tax-exempt status on the due date of the 3rd required return or notice.

You can get IRS forms or publications you need from our website at www.irs.gov/forms-pubs or by calling 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676).

If you have questions, call 877-829-5500 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., 0248188025

GO-Biz offers business owners various services, including site selection, permitting assistance, regulatory guidance, small business support, international trade development, and more.

B. BACKGROUND AND PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Budget Act of 2022 (Senate Bill 178, Skinner) and G overnment Code section 12100.140 et seq. established the Local Government Immigrant Integration Initiatives program within GO-Biz. GO-Biz is pleased to announce the Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Local Immigrant Integration and Inclusion Grant (LIIIG) to provide $8.2 million in one-time funding to support the development or expansion of immigrant integration efforts, increase community trust, and enhance the organizational capacity of local governments to support immigrant populations in California.

The LIIIG is a one-year grant from September 1, 2023, through August 31, 2024.

Contingent on funding availability, GO-Biz may award additional funding for a second year. Eligible activities for LIIIG funding are further defined below and include but are not limited to: 1) Economic Development, 2) Social Services Navigation, 3) Intergovernmental Technical Assistance, and 4) Civic Engagement.

The grant funding shall not replace any existing funding or required services. The applicant must provide a plan to ensure continuity of funding for proposed activities after the one-time grant is awarded for sustainability, including through public-private partnerships or other means. Applicants must create a comprehensive sustainability plan outlining strategies and timelines for maintaining and expanding the program beyond the grant period. The plan should include details on potential funding sources, partnerships, program modifications, and long-term goals to ensure the program's continuity and growth.

GO-Biz reserves the right to reject any applications, extend timelines, and cancel this RFP. Applicants will not be reimbursed for expenses incurred to develop an application or for expenses before executing a grant agreement. All application materials submitted become the property GO-Biz. GO-Biz may amend, reduce, or cancel the remaining agreement if funding becomes unavailable. GO-Biz’s determination as to eligibility for grant funding, or the amount awarded, is final and not subject to appeal or protest.

C. Conference Call: GO-Biz will schedule a conference call to describe the scope of services in this RFP, review eligibility requirements, review application processes and other administrative requirements (e.g., reporting and invoicing), and respond to any questions. All interested organizations are encouraged to participate in the conference call.

4 D. Required Participation and Collaboration: Upon final award, selected local governments shall attend training on: a) grant terms and conditions; b) services, policies, and laws; and c) eligible funding activities. Local governments awarded funding shall coordinate with GO-Biz and other program partners to achieve outcomes that will benefit targeted populations.
