Earlier this month, the BSCC announced the release of a Request
for Proposals (RFP) for the Missing and Murdered Indigenous
People (MMIP) Grant, Cohort 2. This RFP makes $19,923,997
available competitively to federally recognized Indian tribes in
California. This grant program was developed with input from
members of California’s tribal community and supports a broad
range of activities. Tribes are encouraged to develop programs
that address their community’s needs.
MMIP grant funds may be used for services such as culturally
based outreach and awareness campaigns; mental health and
substance use disorder services; Reunification of indigenous
foster youth or runaways with their families; activities to
prevent human trafficking; services for the families of missing
or murdered indigenous people as well as other important
community services.
Two virtual Grant Information Sessions will be held via Zoom on
December 14, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. and
January 25, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. Links to the
virtual Grant Information Sessions are provided within the RFP
and will be posted on the
MMIP Grant page. Proposals must be submitted by 5:00 p.m.
(PST) on Friday, March 15, 2024. Additional
information regarding the grant program and instructions on how
to apply are available on the
MMIP Grant page.
The BSCC staff cannot assist the applicant or its partners with
the actual preparation of the proposal. Any technical questions
concerning the RFP or the application process must be submitted
by email to mmip@bscc.ca.gov.
