This program will prioritize projects that are co-designed by and benefit Priority Communities in Marin County.
For this program, “Priority Communities” means any Marin County population that experiences inequity related to this Program’s funding areas (for example food security and ecological health) compared to the county as a whole.
Applicants can define for themselves how their project proposal supports Priority Communities. Applicants may use quantitative or qualitative data, community feedback from or centered in communities of color, and direct experience to describe how a Program proposal addresses racial disparities and other inequities.
A map using local data has been developed as one resource to support applicants to tell their story about race equity and intersecting challenges. This map does not define what a Priority Community is. It does provide resources to support communities to tell their own story about race equity and intersecting challenges.
