Sacramento County is intensifying its collaborations with local non-profit community-based organizations (CBOs) to enhance the quality of life for its residents. Recognizing the critical role these organizations play in providing essential educational, health, and social services, the county is committed to strengthening the infrastructure of CBOs to expand their reach and effectiveness, particularly in underserved communities.
Key areas of focus for this initiative include:
- Expanding services and deepening impact within underserved communities.
- Building capacity to better access and manage government funds and contracts.
- Elevating organizations that serve Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities.
- Improving the evaluation of services and programs to ensure equitable access and outcomes.
- Enhancing the cultural responsiveness of service provisions to meet the needs of traditionally underserved populations.
In an effort to better understand the capacities and challenges faced by these crucial organizations, Sacramento County, in partnership with the Institute for Social Research at Sacramento State, has launched a 15-minute survey. This survey aims to gather valuable input from CBOs to refine and improve the county’s partnerships and service strategies.
CBOs are encouraged to participate in this important survey by April 19, 2024, to help the county better tailor its support and resources. This initiative is part of Sacramento County’s broader strategy to support the vital work performed by CBOs, ensuring they can continue to make significant contributions to the community’s well-being.
For more detailed information about the initiatives and roles of CBOs in Sacramento County, readers can refer to the “Seeking Proposal to Support Local Organization” news story available on the county’s official website.
