Summary
Overall, these grants provide flexible support—for environmental projects, for small businesses, and for nonprofits—targeted toward strengthening community services, environmental stewardship, and local economic resilience in defined regions.
A local funding initiative supports nonprofit organizations that operate within specific counties. The grant’s purpose is to strengthen community health, social enrichment, education, and economic access for residents. While the total pool varies from year to year, organizations addressing basic needs—such as programs for seniors, youth, low-income families, and community wellness—typically receive the majority of funding, with smaller portions reserved for educational and environmental activities.
Another opportunity is a fixed‑amount grant of $10,000 available to a limited number of small businesses. These funds are aimed at helping independent retailers, restaurants, and local commercial enterprises recover from disruptive events. Funds can be used for operational costs like rent, payroll, and utilities. Eligible businesses must be located within the city, have fewer than 25 employees (with exceptions for restaurants), demonstrate a significant revenue loss, and hold necessary local licenses.
A smaller stream of funding—ranging from $1,000 to $5,000—is designated for environmental projects within the broader county. This mini‑grant supports nonprofit groups, schools, government bodies, and occasionally individuals (acting on behalf of their organization) to expand initiatives in recycling, reuse, waste reduction, composting, or environmental education .
Across all programs, funds are awarded on a competitive basis. Nonprofits typically must demonstrate local impact, operational capacity, and alignment with community priorities. Small businesses need to meet criteria like revenue decline and location. Environmental applicants should present clear educational or ecological benefits. The application process generally includes submitting documentation, potential public presentation, and later providing verification of fund usage.
Organizations and individuals based in California who are engaged in Non-Profit Support Services may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
