First 5 Sacramento is seeking Sacramento residents to join the Equity in Action Committee and help decide how $4 million in grants can be used to support organizations working with young families in historically underfunded communities.

By joining the Equity in Action Committee, you can:
- Make sure families who need help the most get the support they deserve
- Support small, community-led organizations making a real impact
- Bring more visibility and transparency to funding decisions
No experience is needed—just knowing what your neighborhood needs and a passion for making a difference for children and families. To see if you are eligible to apply, please see the list of priority zip codes.
