RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Authorize the District Attorney to accept the donation in the amount of $91,000 from the Orange County Gang Reduction and Intervention Partnership to support the gang reduction and intervention programs.
SUMMARY:
Approval to accept the cash donation in the amount of $91,000 from the Orange County Gang Reduction and Intervention Partnership, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, will assist to pay for expenses related to the District Attorney’s Gang Reduction and Intervention Partnership programs.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Orange County Gang Reduction and Intervention Partnership (OC GRIP) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that supports the initiatives of the GRIP program in the Orange County District Attorney’s Office (OCDA). OC GRIP’s mission is to prevent at-risk minors from joining criminal street gangs and enable them to graduate from high school without committing a crime and becoming productive citizens in society.
The Board of Directors of OC GRIP voted to donate in the amount of $91,000 to the OCDA GRIP program. The purpose of the donation is to support the ongoing effort to reduce gang involvement and provide intervention programs.
The OCDA GRIP program is involved in 13 cities and 65 schools throughout Orange County and is operated by the OCDA, Orange County Sheriff’s Department, Orange County Probation Department, Orange County Health Care Agency, Waymakers and several police agencies. OCDA GRIP also collaborates with over 500 community partners, including several Orange County school districts, local businesses, non-profit organizations, and several faith-based groups. This commitment includes over 800 faculty mentors, approximately 1,000 parent greeters, gang information forums, parent and faculty education, parent involvement meetings and positive incentive programs. The OCDA GRIP program’s goal is to prevent minors from joining criminal street gangs and to help them stay in school. Since the start of the OCDA GRIP program, there has been an increase in school attendance, a decrease in crimes that occur on campus, an increase in neighborhood watch programs, a decrease in suspensions and expulsions and an increase in parent and students education about the dangers in participating in criminal street gangs.
The entire donation amount of $91,000 will be utilized to support the OCDA GRIP program activities. In similar actions, the Board of Supervisors (Board) authorized the District Attorney to accept donations from OC GRIP in the amount of $95,000 on October 6, 2020, $412,000 on January 28, 2020, and $339,486 on May 21, 2019.
Since 2014, OC GRIP has donated over $1.1 million to the OCDA GRIP program. The additional $91,000 cash donation is a further demonstration of the organization’s commitment to preventing young people from joining gangs while increasing opportunities for them to thrive in their schools and communities.
The District Attorney requests Board approval to accept the $91,000 cash donation as referenced in the Recommended Action.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The acceptance of the donation will be absorbed within the revenues in the FY 2021-22 Budget for Budget Control 026, District Attorney.
