We’re happy to announce that through a Request For Proposals (RFP) process, Stanislaus County Workforce Development contracted with Next Street to advance strategies included in the Stanislaus 2030 Small Business Plan.
Drawing from their work in 2023-2024 with Stanislaus 2030, Next Street will assist with the following:
Grant Strategy: Coordinate with Stanislaus County Workforce Development and Stanislaus 2030 on the regranting process of funds for the Stanislaus 2030 Small Business Strategy.
Capacity Building Program Design and Support: Outline and develop top priorities for capacity building of local CDFIs and Business Support Organizations. Provide input into program design and propose an evaluation criteria and process for participating local organizations.
Coordination: Onboard working group leads and help set performance expectations; create an onboarding playbook to use as other funding and working groups activate over time. Set up a shared dashboard to understand and communicate activity and outcome progress across working groups.
We’re excited to partner with Next Street to help move our best ideas into action!
