Reason for Recommended Action/Background
On July 25, 2023, the Board of Supervisors set aside $500,000 for the Community Benefit Equal Allocation Plan. The Plan equally allocated a portion of that funding to each of the five supervisorial districts, allowing each Supervisor to provide grants to local Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) operating within their districts. The Board approved the plan at that meeting, further augmenting the funding to $750,000. On June 4, 2024, the Board approved an additional $25,000 per supervisorial district and increased the total amount to $875,000.
A brief description of the funding proposal follows:
SMUD Museum of Science and Curiosity (MOSAC)
This Community Benefit Grant would provide $1,000 from District 5. Reopened in November 2021 in a modernized and renovated facility, the SMUD Museum of Science and Curiosity (MOSAC) has emerged as a vital hub of scientific exploration, education, and workforce development in the Sacramento region. More than a museum, it serves as a vibrant education resource, offering a variety of learning experiences from exhibits to programs to science demonstrations, and partnering with local STEM-focused organizations to increase access to informal STEM learning. The event is taking place in Sacramento on November 22, 2025 for Museum Day for Residents of Yolo County.
Recommended Action
Staff requests authority to complete and sign the agreement with the named organization in the amounts described above.

Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies)
Grant recipients are selected by the Supervisor's Districts and reviewed by the County Administrator's Office.
Competitive Bid Process/Vendor Performance
The respective Supervisors' District staff review potential beneficiaries of the available funding, and the Supervisor selects beneficiaries and funding amounts. District Staff then begin preparation of the agreements. The County Administrator's Office reviews the spending proposals and verifies that the proposed beneficiary meets any necessary requirements under federal and state laws. The proposal is then brought to the Board for delegation of authority to complete funding disbursement.
