Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $20,000
Summary
This opportunity provides reimbursement funding available in California. Awards range from modest support—around $2,000—to larger reimbursements up to approximately $20,000 per household. The aim is to help homeowners affected by local water issues, particularly those with wells experiencing declines in water level or mechanical failure. By reimbursing eligible costs associated with repairs or full replacement of groundwater wells, the fund seeks to alleviate potential future household hardship.
Though this focuses on private residences, small local nonprofits and informal community groups in affected areas could also potentially partner with residents or provide supplemental services—particularly in outreach and education around safe drinking water access. The grant is not open to businesses or individuals outside of the directly impacted region.
Funding is available exclusively in the vicinity of a specific site in California, where groundwater has been impacted by industrial activity. This geographic focus ensures funds directly support the most affected communities. The intent is to preserve clean and reliable access to water in homes potentially compromised by environmental circumstances.
Applicants may request up to $2,000 for basic repairs triggered by equipment failure, and up to $20,000 when deeper issues related to water level are demonstrated. The structure is reimbursement-based and processed in the order applications arrive, with limited funds allocated annually. This encourages prompt application and expedites assistance to those in greatest need.
Overall, the grant offers vital, targeted assistance aimed at reinforcing household resilience, safeguarding water security, and preventing potential health or livelihood disruptions. While centered on individual homeowners within a specific California locale, the availability of support for community-linked nonprofits can amplify local outreach and education. Eligible recipients have a valuable opportunity to restore essential water infrastructure with financial support tied directly to repair costs.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in California that are actively involved in Awards. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
