Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $10,000
Summary
This grant opportunity provides modest, one‑year funding to support health, wellness, and community initiatives that serves historically underserved and rural populations. Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations with formal 501(c)(3) status or those applying via a qualified nonprofit fiscal sponsor. Individuals, small businesses, and for‑profit entities cannot apply directly.
Award amounts range from approximately $1,000 up to $10,000 per recipient, with the total annual pool historically covering a dozen or so grantees each year. Funding is intended to support projects in one of three focus areas: overall family and community well‑being (including physical health, nutrition, mental health, safe neighborhoods, and support for vulnerable groups such as children, seniors, veterans, farmworkers); community engagement efforts that build resident voice and collective action; or nonprofit capacity building like staff training, volunteer development, or infrastructure upgrades.
Funding cycles are annual, generally opening in mid‑July, closing mid‑August, with award notifications in September and grant distribution in October—intended to support program delivery over the following year.
Successful grantees benefit from financial support to carry out community‑driven, wellness‑oriented programming, along with the opportunity to build organizational strength and local engagement capacity. This grant is ideal for nonprofits serving low‑income families, seniors, veterans, or farmworkers, especially those wanting to expand services, boost civic participation, or improve their internal capacity.
Organizations and individuals based in California who are engaged in Aging/Seniors 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.
