Summary

This funding opportunity provides support for organizations that are actively working to improve the quality of life for residents in specific regions of Northern California. The grant focuses on programs that address local needs and promote the well-being of individuals and families through services that support health, human development, and youth enrichment. Funding is directed toward initiatives that aim to make a meaningful difference in underserved communities, particularly those facing socioeconomic challenges.

Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, public institutions, and community-based groups that serve populations in designated towns and unincorporated areas within Northern Monterey County. The intent of the funding is to uplift communities by supporting programs in two primary areas: direct services that address basic needs and wellness, and initiatives that promote youth development outside of school hours. Projects may include, but are not limited to, programs that offer health services, food access, senior support, educational enrichment, and positive youth engagement.

This opportunity is available to eligible organizations operating in communities such as Aromas, Castroville, Pajaro, Prunedale, and nearby areas. Grants are intended to help organizations strengthen their reach and impact through one-year projects that demonstrate both relevance and feasibility. Award sizes are modest and are best suited to support specific project components, pilot efforts, or capacity-building measures that align with the broader goals of community improvement.

Funding is awarded on an annual basis through a competitive application process. Preference is given to proposals that reflect strong community ties, collaboration with other local agencies, and a commitment to addressing long-standing barriers to opportunity. Grant recipients are expected to complete their projects within a year and report back on measurable outcomes that demonstrate progress and local impact.
