Staff updated the commission on the 2025 Bridal Equity and Social Justice (RESJ) grant cycle: applications will be accepted online from March 1 through April 1, and the commission will use an online review process. Staff said application questions will have length limits (about 500 words) and that the system will standardize submissions to make reviews more uniform.
Staff acknowledged that online-only submission can pose challenges for some applicants and said staff will assist organizations that encounter technical difficulties. The commission discussed whether staff should provide informational sessions; staff said time constraints may make full in-person sessions difficult but recommended directing applicants to staff for individualized help.
The commission confirmed the March 1 launch date and asked staff to circulate details with application graphics and instructions once the form is live.
