On June 5, 2018, Richmond voters approved Measures E and K, known as the Richmond Kids First Initiative, which approved a City of Richmond charter amendment (Article 15) to create a Department of Children and Youth and require that a portion of the General Fund be set aside to fund youth programs and services. The total projected amount available for FY 2023-2024 grant awards is approximately $1.86 million in the initial year. 

The FY 2021-2024 application is now open and closes on Monday, February 13, 2023 at 2:00 P.M. Access and submit the online grant application form below.
