The purpose of this Mayor & Council Communication (M&C) is to request ratification to accept private donations from businesses, organizations,
individuals, and community partners in an amount not to exceed $1,000.00 in monetary donations and $1,330.00 worth of in -kind donations in
support of National Community Development Week 2026, celebrated April 6-10, 2026. This week is a national celebration to acknowledge the
investments and benefits derived from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the HOME Investment Partnerships Program
(HOME).
The City of Fort Worth has been a recipient of CDBG grant funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
since 1975, supporting community development projects and activities, and HOME program grant funds since 1992, supporting the development
of sustainable and affordable housing benefiting low -to -moderate income individuals and households, including older adults, children, people with
disabilities, and those experiencing chronic or frequent homelessness.
In support of these efforts, Neighborhood Services Department identified community partners that wanted to provide donations, both monetary and
in -kind, to be used and/or presented during National Community Development Week. All donations received were used solely for the purpose of
supporting National Community Development Week activities and initiatives. The City ensured adequate controls were in place to carry out such
public purpose throughout the donation process.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds
will be deposited and available in the Neighborhood Services Donation project within the Special Donations LTD Fund. The Neighborhood
Services Department (and Financial Management Services) is responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to any
expenditure being incurred, the Neighborhood Services Department also has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
