Re: Tobacco Grant Award No tification Fiscal Year 2022-23 (RFP: DOJ-PROP56-2022-23-1) Dear Shawn Rey,
Congratulations! On behalf of the California Department of Justice (Department), Tobacco Grant Program, I am pleased to inform you, your agency’s grant application for the fiscal year 2022-23 grant cycle has been approved for grant funds authorized under the California Healthcare, Research and Prevention Tobacco Tax Act of 2016. The total amount of your agency’s grant award is $936,288.
The Tobacco Grant Program’s award process is highly competitive, and for the 2022-23 grant cycle, the Department received over $34 million in requested grant funding. Grant funding was prioritized to support local enforcement efforts to reduce the illegal sale of tobacco products to minors. Also, as per the Request for Proposal, any funding for school resource officers/on- campus enforcement was not considered in this funding cycle. Consequently, some awards were approved with modifications based on funding priorities.
To accept the 2022-23 grant award, please return the following by email within 15 calendar days of receipt of this letter:
1. Signed Letter of Intent (template attached), affirming either:
a. Your agency will seek a resolution from the governing body to accept the award (if your agency has a governing body); or
b. No governing body exists and no resolution is required.
2. Award Summary (if modifications are required based on the revised award amount, as indicated in the Award Summary document)
Please email the signed Letter of Intent and other information as indicated above to [email protected] with the subject line: “FY 22-23_Letter of Intent_San Pablo Police Department, Priority Oriented Policing Division.” Upon receipt of this information, the Department will provide your agency with additional documents for execution/use (e.g., San Pablo Police Department, Priority Oriented Policing Division 11/15/2022
Memorandum of Understanding, Grantee Handbook, etc.). These documents will contain more information about the process for reimbursement and other important details. Activities for reimbursement under this grant may commence January 1, 2023.
