SUMMARY
First 5 Alameda County is an innovative public entity created by passage of Proposition 10 in 1998 which added fifty cents per pack of cigarettes to help fund early care and education for children 0-5. To fulfill their mission, First 5 of Alameda County frequently partners with local agencies, including the Hayward Public Library (HPL). The grant/stipend amounts vary by year, based on funding available and the programs the organization is working on.
In June 2022, Council approved up to $10,000 in funding from First 5 of Alameda County for Fiscal Year 2022 and annually for the next three fiscal years (through the end of Fiscal Year 2025). Already in Fiscal Year 2023, First 5 has agreed to $12,000 in funding for Hayward Library. Additional funds may become available in 2023 and in future fiscal years. With Council approval, staff will appropriate up to $20,000 in the Local Grants Fund (Fund 240) for FY 2023 and annually for the next three fiscal years (through the end of fiscal year 2026) and provide services per the requirements of the grants/stipends from First 5 of Alameda County.
