Grant Acquisition

The RAISE Grant Program provides federal funding for transportation projects that enhance safety, environmental sustainability, and quality of life. Global prepared an application for HACLA to improve the Wilmington Avenue Corridor, encompassing plans for the Rainbow Bridge replacement, Vision Zero strategies, and enhancements such ats intersection improvements, traffic calming, sidewalks, public art, and wayfinding signage. This project promotes active transportation and inspires a healthier, more connected community with improved access to community assets like the Watts Cultural Trail. Guided by feedback from local organizations, we developed a data-driven narrative, conducted a detailed benefit-cost analysis, and formulated an itemized budget, successfully securing funding for this vital initiative.

The Building Forward Library Facilities Improvement Program is the largest single investment made by the State of California in its network of 1,127 local public libraries. Global secured funding for the Azusa City Library Equitable and Inclusive Improvements Project, which aims to transform the library’s infrastructure, enhance energy efficiency, and ensure physical accessibility. This project benefits disadvantaged communities, the linguistically isolated, residents with limited broadband access, and persons with disabilities. Global provided comprehensive support for this grant application, including robust data collection and analysis, project scoping, narrative and budget development, and submission management.

The Equitable Community Revitalization Grant Program offers California communities a chance to address environmental inequities and improve land use for lasting benefits. Global played a pivotal role in securing funding for the City of Bell Gardens to transform a contaminated site into affordable housing, meeting a critical community need. Our grant writing expertise enabled the creation of a comprehensive project description, detailed implementation schedule, robust project management procedures, and accurate project costs. We produced a captivating narrative with engaging graphics and maps. By collecting and presenting data from diverse environmental and socioeconomic databases, we highlighted the community’s urgent need and the impact of contamination.

The Clean California Local Grant Program funds local community improvements, including streets, parks, pathways, and transit centers. Global prepared a successful application for HACLA's Jordan Downs Sustainable and Equitable Communities Initiative, securing funding for enhancing outdoor recreation at Children's Park, implementing a vermicomposting project, providing green industry job training, and ensuring equitable community engagement. Our team's efforts were crucial, including identifying and cultivating strategic partnerships and managing seamless communication among stakeholders through regular meetings, ensuring everyone remained informed and aligned with the project's progress.

The Californians for All Youth Service Corps Grant Program empowers youth through meaningful employment opportunities, aiming to foster civic engagement and build a diverse, skilled workforce across California. Global successfully secured funding for La Puente’s Youth Workforce Development Program, which provides employment training and support in food service, digital literacy, community services, city beautification, and administrative support. Key components include professional development, community engagement, and partnerships with local organizations. Our success can be attributed to a thorough needs assessment, detailed program design, comprehensive budget, strong community partnerships, and an action plan for implementation and evaluation.

Leveraging our grant writing and program design expertise, we enabled the City of Pomona to create a collaborative ecosystem to improve services for immigrants. This initiative includes hiring specialized staff and forming a cross-jurisdictional task force to ensure a unified effort in addressing their needs. An action plan, coupled with the development of an interactive resource guide, will streamline the city’s efforts to connect immigrants with crucial services. The cornerstone of this endeavor, the Immigration Services Navigation Pilot Program, is designed to assess and address the unique needs of each immigrant, ensuring personalized and practical support. This grant signified a monumental step towards fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for the immigrant population of Pomona.
