2024-29 Request for Proposals (RFP)
DCYF is proud to announce the results of the 2024-2029 RFP. This page includes information about RFP awards, the award portfolio, award appeals and the decision process. DCYF received 698 proposals for this RFP that requested over $414 million in funding. With an allocation range of $87.3M –$96.5M we were forced to make many tough decisions to balance the needs of children, youth, TAY and families and the cost of providing services in San Francisco, all while the City faces a large budget deficit. Despite these challenges we are pleased to be awarding over $92 million annually, or over $460 million for the 5 year funding cycle. This portfolio of grants represents the CBO providers and programs that we feel are best positioned to help us achieve our results over the next 5 years.
