Request for Proposals (RFP): Fresno County is home to more than 1,013,400 people1 and is in the central
San Joaquin Valley. This culturally diverse population has significant health disparities that affect the quality
of life in the county. Recently, Fresno County was awarded $10 million as the result of an air and water
pollution settlement and was challenged to use these funds to improve population health. There were no specific
restrictions on the types of projects that would qualify for Fresno County Settlement Fund. Consideration will
be made for program plans that focus on improving the health and well-being of Fresno County residents and
particularly those that address the health issues impacting residents, families, and/or children in the County’s
poorest neighborhoods. Awards will be for a maximum of $175,000 each year for a three-year funding period
($500,000 maximum for a single agency). Your agency director has charged you with the responsibility to
develop of a program proposal to be submitted for this funding. (Incidentally, the director has indicated that
your position and salary is contingent upon receiving this award. The Project Director’s salary is $50,000 per
year with benefits at 38%. Your agency has negotiated an indirect rate of .15 of MDTC with this funder. The
RFP has been announced with a final deadline of May 13, 2024 (at 5:00 pm). (Please note as with any RFA,
the deadline date is absolute!!! No proposals will be accepted after May 13, 2024, at 5:00 pm.)
