California Grants Program for Community Projects in California (USA)
GrantID: 74115
Grant Funding Amount Low: $1,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $50,000
Summary
A community grant program that typically allocates around $400,000 each year, with individual awards ranging from $1,000 up to $50,000, and occasionally reaching slightly above when unspent funds carry over. Grant funds must be used within one year and are disbursed with 90% upfront and 10% upon successful reporting.
The purpose of the grants is twofold: first, to mitigate any potential impacts linked to the local cannabis industry; second, to directly support strategic community goals—such as enhancing public safety, environmental protection, equitable access, recreation, transportation, economic development, and efficient government. This means funding can go toward nonprofit programs, public‑agency efforts, or community‑focused initiatives that align with local priorities.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations and public agencies with programs that include youth services, harm‑prevention organizations, arts and recreation groups, recovery centers, historical societies, and school‑based programs. Small businesses or for‑profit individuals are not explicitly listed as eligible—though some public‑agency applicants that support community projects have been funded.
Each award is intended to cover documented project expenses (indirect costs capped at 10%) and must align clearly with mitigation of cannabis-related impacts or furtherance of strategic objectives.
