City of Oakland Launches Direct Community Grants Program

Oakland, CA –– The City of Oakland has announced a new Direct Community Grants program, designed to address funding barriers and continue the City’s long history of supporting community-based organizations (CBOs) serving Oakland residents most impacted by racial disparities.

The City has issued a Request For Proposals (RFP) to ensure a fair, equitable process for awarding funding and expand opportunities for any interested organization, especially small, local non-profits, to apply.

Applications are due on Wednesday, March 1, 2023 at 5pm.

The Oakland City Council is looking to fund community-based projects that are aligned with the following Council priorities:
Affordable Housing & Homelessness Solutions
Public Safety & Violence Prevention
Good Jobs and Vibrant Economy
Clean, Healthy, and Sustainable Neighborhoods
Holistic Community Safety
Housing, Economic & Cultural Security
Vibrant, Sustainable Infrastructure
Responsive, Trustworthy Government
The City will host several pre-proposal workshops in January and February to help applicants and answer questions. More information is available here: https://ift.tt/bYM7tnx

Note from Oakland News Now Blog, Zennie62 YouTube, and Zennie62Media: this Oakland News Online Blog video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018, originally on Zennie62Media , Inc.’s Oakland News Now. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. This is what we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a “liked” YouTube video by a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then that YouTube video is uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Online Blog site and Zennie62Media -created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, thus less chance for Oakland News Online Blog, Zennie62 YouTube vloggers to be robbed. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners. This process is entirely within YouTube terms of service, where embedding of videos for use on websites and platforms is allowed and encouraged.
