Request for Funding Proposals

Community Service (CSAC) Funded Programs Request for Applications (RFA)

The Pueblo County and City of Pueblo Partnership is accepting Applications for Community Service Programs for funding consideration for calendar year 2016. Eligible applicants must be an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit with federal tax-exempt status and must be in good standing with the Colorado Secretary of State.

Applicants must clearly identify specific community and human service needs along with corresponding outcome-based objectives and measurements for addressing the needs. Applicants must demonstrate a history of solid fiscal and management practices, and receive a broad base of funding support. Funding is limited; therefore, not all requests can be funded nor can all applications be funded at the requested amounts.

Partnership Agencies will be reimbursed at the end of each quarter that services are delivered / rendered during the contractual fiscal year.

Instructions and forms for completion of the Application can be downloaded from the Pueblo County Website : http://county.pueblo.org/government/public-notices (URL is case-sensitive, so please do not capitalize).

beginning May 4, 2015

All Applications are due no later than Monday, June 8, 2015 by 1:00 PM.

See RFA instructions at the Pueblo County Website www.county.pueblo.org for submitting completed, hard copy applications to the Pueblo County Department of Housing and Human Services, and emailing a copy of the application to Lili Avalos at [email protected] and Virginia Jimenez, Director at [email protected] by the due date.

Submission of the Application through FAX is not acceptable. Funding Recommendations will be reduced by submitting an incomplete and/or late application.

The Pueblo County and City of Pueblo Partnership reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals received in response to this RFA, to negotiate with any proposer, to waive any irregularities or informalities, as they deem fit or necessary, or to cancel this RFA if it is in the best interest of the Partnership to do so. Issuance of the RFA does not constitute a commitment by the Partnership to fund and award a contract. A prior award does not guarantee that funding will be made for this cycle or that funding will be at the same level. Funding is contingent upon available funds.
