About the Organization

The San Benito County Board of Supervisors established the FIRST 5 San Benito Children and Families Commission in 1999 to administer and allocate the County’s portion of Proposition 10 funds. In November 1998, the California voters passed Proposition 10, the California Children and Families First Initiative, which added a 50 cent-per- pack tax on tobacco products. Eighty percent (80%) of these revenues are allocated annually to the 58 individual California counties to benefit children from prenatal to five years old. Each local Commission has control over their own funds and by law is empowered to make local decisions about how funds should be spent.
