Summary

Offers a suite of grant and funding programs for nonprofits, community groups, businesses, and sometimes property‑owners, depending on the specific grant. These programs are designed to help strengthen neighborhoods by supporting cultural activities, environmental stewardship, housing solutions, human services, public safety, and more.


Some grants are very small, for community‑scale or event‑scale work; others are much larger and support infrastructure, longer‑term programming, or systems innovation. For example, there is a small event/cultural grant capped around $5,000 for nonprofit or community‑based organizations putting on free, public events or cultural workshops. There are also more substantial grants like those for improving soil health, farmland practices, and sustainable food systems with funding often in the tens of thousands ($40,000‑$100,000) per award.


Eligibility varies by grant: many require that the applicant be a nonprofit, or a public entity, or sometimes a property or landowner (for environmental or open space work). Many grants favor work that advances equity, sustainability, public health, or community resilience. Some grants are open year‑round; others follow annual cycles with deadlines in particular months.


Awards may be used for things like organizing community or cultural events, improving open space land and natural resources, paying for operations or capital projects for nonprofits (e.g. remodeling or minor facility improvements), funding human services programs especially for underserved populations, or supporting prevention and recovery in public health issues such as substance use or emergency response.


Some of the larger pools (e.g. human services, strategic housing, or emergency services) have total budgets in the millions of dollars per cycle, though individual awards vary significantly. Grantees often must report on outcomes, show how the funds are used, and meet criteria related to strategic county priorities (e.g. climate resilience, social equity, economic vitality).
