In addition to intensified inspection activity, the grant also funded decoy operations designed to catch liquor operators who make a practice of selling alcohol to underage buyers. Awareness of the increased level of enforcement has led to greater efforts by store owners to stay in compliance with the law. In the words of Cpl. Aaron Nunley, “It’s been very successful. There’s been a lot of recognition that we’re out here doing this. We have businesses calling all the time to complain about problems, because now they’re more aware that they are responsible for selling to minors and for loitering around their businesses.”

The application for ABC grant funding was prepared by the Glen Price Group as part of its contract with the City of Richmond to provide grant research and proposal development services for all city departments. During the past two years, the city has received over $2.2 million in funding as a result of grant proposals developed by the Glen Price Group.

The Glen Price Group developed and submitted these proposals under a contract with the Bay Area Partnership for Children and Youth, an outstanding intermediary and support organization that has led efforts to raise over $65 million dollars for after school programs serving students and families in priority communities throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

We also provided proposal review services to three additional grant winners: Sequoia High, Farmersville High, and Lighthouse Community Charter High. Congratulations to all!
