RECOMMENDATION
Staff Recommends That The City Council Adopt A Resolution Awarding Grants To Fifteen (15) Oakland-based Nonprofit Organizations Providing Arts Instruction for Oakland Youth Through June 30, 2025, In A Total Amount Not To Exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed resolution would adopt the recommended allocation to the Networks of Care:
Teaching Artist Support grant opportunity, serving Oakland-based nonprofit organizations providing arts instruction for Oakland Youth, in the total amount of $150,000 to the grantees as described in Attachment A.

These organizations support artistic excellence and cultural diversity through the provision of services and programming in dance, music, theater, media, digital, visual, literary, and community arts, while leveraging other government, corporate, and private spending on the arts in Oakland. The grant funds will support 144 teaching artists conducting nearly 600 arts instruction classes per week in Oakland, and serving nearly 16,000 Oakland youth, with most of organizations offering free or low-cost programs. Grantee activity locations are included in Attachment B. These grant allocations are fully funded through the Transient Occupancy Tax Fund.

On January 16, 2024, the Cultural Funding Program (CFP) began accepting applications to “Networks of Care: Teaching Artist Support” grant opportunity to provide funding support for teaching artist positions serving Oakland youth. Teaching artists play an essential role in the fabric of our cultural community - fostering and exposing Oaklanders of all ages and backgrounds to the power of art. In alignment with the City’s Cultural Plan1 “Belonging in Oakland: A Cultural Development Plan,” this one-time regranting program aimed to provide limited resources to supplement teaching artist salaries and/or provide professional development opportunities for teaching artists that foster social cohesion and civic belonging for Oakland’s youth.
The CFP was established by the City Council in 1985 as the City’s mechanism to support Oakland-based nonprofit arts and cultural organizations through an annual competitive application process. These grants infuse Oakland’s neighborhoods with arts and cultural activities that increase exposure to, understanding of, and respect for diverse cultural heritages, support arts activities that engage the community, and support hands-on arts instruction in Oakland’s public schools. For Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24, CFP will award grants in three categories as provided below:
• Cultural Organizational Assistance (General Operating):
• Neighborhood Voices for Festivals
• Networks of Care: Teaching Artist Support Grants
The program is managed by the Cultural Affairs staff within the Economic & Workforce Development Department (EWDD). To ensure transparency and public trust in the distribution of public funds for the arts in Oakland, the program has established policies, review procedures, and a panel system for evaluating applications.
CFP staff strive to have a diverse team of community members to serve as panelists - representing various ages, backgrounds, races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, and professions to help City staff evaluate each grant category. The grant review panelists have been selected for their expertise relevant to each grant category. Applicants receive the biographies of each panelist the day prior to the Public Review Panels. As part of the review process, applicants have the opportunity to address the panel for three-minutes. Oakland’s CFP is one of the only local grant-making agencies in the State that allows applicants to address the community peer reviewed panel. The applicant’s three-minute address is used to clarify any questions or misinterpretations that the applicant may have heard during the panel discussion.
With City Council support, the CFP grants have historically been funded from the General Purpose Fund. In FY 2009-10, Oakland voters approved Measure C, implementing a Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) surcharge that supplements the CFP funding.

Measure C: Transient Occupancy Tax Fund (2419), Cultural Grants Project (1000458) carry- forward funds from FY22-23 resulted in additional grant resources of roughly $180,000.00.
Given the proposed scope of the grant funding, the length of time for City grant execution, and the current General Fund budget deficit, staff is recommending that the grant agreements extend through June 30, 2025.
ANALYSIS AND POLICY ALTERNATIVES
Grant Review Panel Process
For the Networks of Care: Teaching Artist Support grant application period, the CFP received a total of 36 applications from Oakland-based arts non-profit organizations. Staff reviewed the applications and passed along those that met eligibility requirements per the program guidelines to the grant review panelists. On March 28, 2024, the CFP review panel consisted of a total of 5 community/peer panelists, and they evaluated eligible applications from 22 applicants.
Panelists thoroughly discussed, evaluated and scored each proposal based on established criteria.
In broad terms, the criteria for the panel review are: (1) Programmatic Impact: soundness of applicant’s curriculum for arts instruction and potential for program to build social connection; (2) Cultural & Racial Equity: the extent to which the applicant’s activities includes groups and communities impacted by racial and economic disparities; (3) Finance & Management:
soundness of budget and qualifications of key personnel to execute planned programming. Upon completion of the review process and ranking of the applications, staff determined a cut-off for grant awards and the allocation of funds. Applicants receiving an average score lower than 70 (from a possible 100 points) were automatically disqualified from funding. These funding allocations are based on the applicants overall score.
Staff reviewed scores and ranking of the applicants, creating a list of recommended awards for Council consideration to approve funding for 15 Oakland- based organizations conducting arts instruction for Oakland youth.
Approval of these cultural funding grants will continue to help advance the citywide priority of economic and cultural security. By supporting Oakland Creatives, this workforce will build social cohesion and foster security and belonging through civic engagement activities.

PUBLIC OUTREACH / INTEREST
The CFP currently has only one staff member, who is responsible for all duties associated with the CFP, including grant applications, public review panels, outreach, reporting, and grant contracting for 106 grantees last year alone. City staff works diligently to keep its mailing list and outreach efforts up to date.
The availability and open application period for the Networks of Care: Teaching Artist support grants were announced on January 16, 2024 via press release, email announcements and posted on the City’s website. Application guidelines were widely publicized for seven weeks. Email notices were sent to interested groups including City Councilmembers and staff, past grantees, grant applicants and all parties that contacted staff for arts funding opportunities. In total, staff estimates that it was able to outreach to over 1000 organizations and community groups. CFP staff conducted public workshops and one-on-one technical assistance meetings for prospective applicants from January 2024 through the application deadline. A total of 60 people attended the public workshops via Zoom, and 10 prospective applicants received one-on-on technical assistance from CFP staff.
Throughout the year, an Open Call for qualifications is posted on the City’s website inviting community members to serve on peer review panels. Grant Review Panels convened to discuss and evaluate applications in open meetings, where applicants had the opportunity to attend and address the panel with a three-minute statement. Grant Review Panels were open to the public and accessible through a public Zoom link.
