Issue Detail: Sacramento Children’s Fund Planning and Oversight Commission will receive an update on the implementation of the Sacramento Children’s Fund Strategic Investment Plan including the Guaranteed Basic Income (GBI) Notice of Funding Opportunity and the results of the Request for Proposals for Evaluation of the Sacramento Children’s Fund. Staff will also present an updated five-year timeline and the proposed process for the third-year review of the Strategic Investment Plan (SIP). The commission will discuss potential topics for review and revision of the SIP before the end of the third year of the plan.
Highlights of the presentation include:
• Request for Proposals for Evaluation: The City has a pending award with Harder & Company to complete a five-year evaluation of the Sacramento Children’s Fund Strategic Investment Plan for a total contract amount not to exceed $750,000. Staff will take the contract to City Council for approval In February.
• Guaranteed Basic Income (GBI) Notice of Funding Availability (NOFO): The GBI NOFO closes on February 9, 2026. Staff will administer a grant review panel in March and take the recommended award to City Council in April or May of 2026.
• Five-year timeline: Included in the presentation is an updated five-year Strategic Investment Plan implementation timeline.
• Third Year SIP Review Process: Staff will present on the planned process for the third-year review of the SIP including the workflow, timeline and proposed dates to complete the review and edits.
The commission may discuss the potential topics they would like to discuss over the next year and any edits, amendments or deletions to the SIP they propose. If there is consensus on topics to be revisited as part of the third-year review, they may choose to create limited term ad-hocs to work on recommended edits to the SIP to be brought back to the commission at a later meeting date.
