The County offers 2 project-based funding programs for nonprofits and government agencies. They support specific projects and programs that:
- Provide measurable benefits to the community
- Don’t clearly fit within the activities of a single County department
- Can be completed by the end of the funding programs’ contract terms
We give priority to requests that represent 50% or less than the total project cost. Funding from the grants is one-time.
Funds for both programs are limited and awards are based on the amount of funds available. If you don't use all of the funds for the services specified in the grant application, you have to return the rest.
Nonprofit Community Partners Program
The Nonprofit Community Partners Program is great for planned projects and programs. They should be implemented within the same fiscal year the funding is approved.
- Requests can range from $10,000 - $30,000
- Online applications are accepted annually from December 1, 2023 – February 20, 2024
- Grants are available for the upcoming fiscal year beginning July 1
Community Services Fund
The Community Services Fund is for small one-time projects, including unforeseen or emergency needs. They must be completed by the end of the contract term or within about 6 months.
- Requests can range from $1,000 - $10,000
- 2 application cycles open each year
- July 1 – September 30
- January 1 – March 31
- Multiple applications from a single agency are allowed, but no organization will receive more than $10,000 total per cycle
- Grants are approved shortly after the submission period closes and funds are available immediately
