Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: On September 14, 2021, Sacramento City Council adopted the mayor’s proposed American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Framework and Funding Priorities and directed the City Manager, City Attorney, City Auditor, City Treasurer, and City Clerk to implement City Council direction consistent with the adopted ARPA Framework. The recommendations contained in the ARPA Framework and Funding Priorities allocate $10 million of those funds to critical projects and programs needed to address the impact of the pandemic on the creative economy. Among those projects was support for arts and cultural nonprofits, creative businesses, individual artists, iconic events, youth workforce development and arts journalism.
On October 8, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-0293 approving the Creative Growth Support Fund, a revised approach to funding individual artists through the ARPA Arts and Creative Economy Program. The project takes the form of a 12-month program that will include regular payments of $850/month to 200 artists, for a total of $10,200 per artist over the term of the funding
File ID: 2024-02054 1/28/2025 Consent Item 12.
period. Eligible uses of funds would include but are not limited to basic monthly living expenses enabling recipients to devote time to their creative practice as well as expenses associated directly with their creative practice; ineligible use of funds (restrictions) will be clearly identified. Recipients will also have access to convening and networking opportunities as well as professional development programming tailored to the cohort’s needs.
With the Creative Growth Support Fund, the program aims to advance each recipient’s artistic practice, while fostering creative growth within the overall artist population.
The need for a third-party payment facilitator to administer the timely distribution of funds to program recipients was identified as critical to the success of the program. After an independent panel of reviewers complete their assessment of qualified applicants in the areas of 1) commitment to excellence, 2) artistic merit, and 3) public benefit, the payment facilitator will then ensure the randomized selection among highest-ranking applicants. The payment facilitator will be responsible for the disbursement of timely, consistent, and secure recurring monthly payments to awarded individual artists amd cultural bearers in Sacramento.
Through the RFP process, the Office of Arts and Culture solicited proposals to conduct payment facilitation and additionally included the option to articulate full-service support including the creation and administration of a linked application portal. Three eligible organizations submitted proposals.
After staff review and scoring of proposals, AidKit most closely met all expressed needs for the program within the proposed program budget. Some of the distinguishing traits that led to Aidkit’s selection includes:
· AidKit is a "purpose-driven" software platform. Unlike the other bidders, AidKit led with their commitment to support solidarity informed programs across the country. They started with Colorado's pandemic program, Left Behind Workers Fund which disbursed $38 million in emergency aid payments. This was a large program that needed a software program that was high integrity/high accessibility.
· They are experienced in working with government agencies and understand their strengths, challenges and limitations. To date, they've worked with 190 government and nonprofit entities to deliver cash aid.
· They are a full-service platform, providing end-to-end services to administer and receive cash aid. They will build the program with the Office of Arts and Culture, working with the team to qualify based on eligibility requirements, and screen applicants accordingly. Their platform is user-friendly, and they have capabilities for language translation (with Spanish language translations built into the service contract). They are committed to lessen the burden for the user and keeping administrative burden to a minimum.
· They have the capabilities to take all pre-qualified applicants and sort and select to create the most diverse pool of grantees possible.
· They have robust fraud protection tools including verification of eligibility documents,
File ID: 2024-02054 1/28/2025 Consent Item 12.
duplication checks, and any custom criteria that we might add. · Payments can be made directly to artists through ACH transfer, physical debit cards, or virtual debit cards.
· They can support reporting requirements and will provide dashboards filtered by demographics, etc. and will have accessible payment dashboards available to City staff that will show funds available, committed, and monthly payment statements as well as follow-up surveys.
Policy Considerations: City Council approval is required to award contracts of $250,000 or more per City Code 3.04.010.
Sacramento City Code Section 4.04.020 and Council Rules of Procedure (Chapter 7, Section E.2.d) mandate that unless waived by a 2/3 vote of the City Council, all labor agreements and all agreements greater than $1,000,000 shall be made available to the public at least ten (10) days prior to council action. This item was published for 10-day review on January 16, 2025, in compliance with the City Code.
Economic Impacts: According to Creative Vitality Suite, a service of Creative West (formerly the Western States Arts Federation), there were 3,536 individual artists and performers in the City of Sacramento in 2023 (the most recent year for which data is available) . Those artists generated $79.1 million in industry earnings in 2023. In partnership with a third-party payment administrator, the Creative Growth Support Fund intends to provide economic stability to 200 artists and culture bearers, enabling recipients to devote time to their creative practice as well as expenses associated directly with their creative practice.
Environmental Considerations: None, as the recommendations in this report do not constitute a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as they involve government fiscal activities that do not involve any commitment to a specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, as contemplated by Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, §15000 et seq.), and is, therefore, not subject to CEQA pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: On October 9, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024- 0293 approving the Creative Growth Support Fund, a revised approach to funding individual artists through the ARPA Arts and Creative Economy Program. The project is a 12-month program that will include consistent payment of $850/month to 200 artists, for a total of $10,200 per artist over the term of the funding period. With the Creative Growth Support Fund, the program aims to advance each

recipient’s artistic practice while fostering creative growth within the overall artist population.
The need for a third-party payment facilitator to administer the timely disbursement of funds to program recipients was identified as critical to the success of the program. Through a formal bidding process, the Office of Arts and Culture solicited proposals to conduct payment facilitation and full- service support which includes the creation and administration of a linked application portal. AidKit most closely met all expressed needs for the program within the proposed program budget. AidKit’s wealth of experience, strong recommendations from the field, attention to equity, and familiarity with government-issued programs contributed to the rationale for this recommendation. Staff have determined that AidKit is a comprehensive solution for delivering ongoing payments.
Financial Considerations: On March 1, 2022, City Council approved the transfer of $10 million from the available fund balance of the ARPA Reinvestment Funds (Fund 1003) to the Arts and Creative Economy Program (I17609000). Sufficient funding is available in the Arts and Creative Economy Program (I17609000) to execute the agreement with AidKit for a not-to-exceed amount of $2,247,800, which includes up to $2,040,000 in payments to program participants and up to $207,800 in payments to AidKit for program management.
