Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $15,000
Summary
This grant opportunity is designed to support nonprofit organizations working in a specific California county. The focus is on agencies that deliver direct services to children, youth, families, and underserved community members. The program aims to strengthen the social fabric by investing in organizations with a track record of deep community engagement and meaningful impact.
Eligible nonprofits can apply for one-time project funding to support a variety of activities. These may include programs for early childhood education, after-school or out-of-school enrichment, workforce or vocational training, and youth leadership development. Additionally, funding is available for community service programs that meet basic needs — such as food, housing stability, health and mental health supports, and immigrant or refugee services.
The grant is also tailored to support efforts that align with an equitable, justice-driven vision. Preference is given to community-led initiatives that are culturally responsive, grounded in local experience, and operated by or in close partnership with the populations they serve. Organizations that center marginalized voices, demonstrate long-term commitment, and can clearly articulate how their work improves social outcomes are particularly competitive.
Award amounts are modest, typically ranging from a few thousand to mid-teens in thousands — enough to make a real difference for small- to midsize operations. The grant is structured to be a one-year investment, offering organizations the flexibility to dedicate funding to operations, staff, program materials, or other cost elements critical to service delivery.
Applications are reviewed on a regular cycle, with multiple submission deadlines throughout the year. This structure enables organizations to plan and apply when the timing best aligns with their program calendars. The process aims not only to distribute funding but to foster long-term relationships with grantees. By providing reliable, one-year support, this grant opportunity encourages community change agents to innovate, grow, and deepen their impact in the region they serve.
