Referral History:
On December 12, 2023, the Board of Supervisors directed that a one-time allocation of $1,000,000 of Measure X funds be allocated for the purpose of supporting the “African American Holistic Wellness Resource Hub and existing services” in Contra Costa County. This funding would help inform the possibilities for the services and resources to be housed within the Federal D. Glover Community Wellness Network, previously referred to as the African American Holistic Wellness and Resource Hub.
The Office of Racial Equity and Social Justice (ORESJ) recommended that a local community foundation with extensive experience supporting Black-led and Black-serving organizations could serve as a contracted agency tasked with overseeing and carrying out procurement, support, and fund distribution responsibilities, as well as monitoring progress and assessing outcomes.
At the June 4, 2024 meeting, the Board of Supervisors approved and authorized the ORESJ Co-Directors to release a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to solicit the partnership of a community foundation to administer the procurement, management, and monitoring of $1,000,000 in FY 23-24 Measure X funds for service contracts to increase African-American holistic wellness and support in Contra Costa County. Subsequently, on November 20, 2024, East Bay Community Foundation (EBCF) was selected as the partner to administer the management and monitoring of $1,000,000 Measure X funds for service contracts to increase African-American holistic wellness.
From March 31, 2025 to May 30, 2026, EBCF partnered with ORESJ to serve as the fiscal agent, and manage fourteen (14) awards across five (5) service and program categories. EBCF paid all service provider contractors, and performed administrative tasks necessary to manage the program. The EBCF team also planned and lead activities among service provider organizations to nurture a culture of learning, collaboration, and coordinated service delivery throughout the contract period.
Referral Update:
East Bay Community Foundation will share their final report and assessment that documents the
impact of the $1 million pilot cohort: 13 organizations, 14 programs, one year of service, and the
early evidence of what targeted, community-centered investment in equity and wellness can
achieve. Through data, narrative, and the voices of those delivering services, who often come
from impacted communities themselves, the final report showcases the Glover Wellness Network’s
accomplishments throughout the first year, and what sustained investment can and will lead to
for Contra Costa County communities.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
RECIEVE East Bay Community Foundation’s final impact report that outlines key insights, lessons learned, and recommendations from the first cohort of the Federal D. Glover Community Wellness Network.
