THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Ashland Family YMCA applied on June 19, 2026 for up to $99,999 from the city’s Early Childcare Affordability Grant Program to support scholarships, infrastructure, and staff training for its preschool programs at Helman and Walker Elementary Schools. The request includes $55,000 for sliding-scale scholarships, $24,999 for an outdoor play yard upgrade at Walker to safely increase capacity from 17 to 20 seats, and $20,000 for training approximately 22 early childhood staff over July 2026–June 2027.
The application details a shovel‑ready landscaping project with quotes from Figueroa’s Landscaping & Construction LLC and Evolved Landscapes, plus multi-source funding and a clear training plan aligned with Oregon licensing and the Every Child Belongs program. The city committee will review this and three other applications and vote on allocating the remaining $100,000 on June 30, so vendors in playground surfacing, synthetic turf, safety gates, training content, and scholarship administration systems have a near-term opportunity to support either the YMCA directly or as subcontractors if the grant is awarded.
Walker site capacity is limited to 17 children due to current play yard size; expansion to 20 seats depends on the funded landscaping and synthetic turf project.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
