March 8, 2010 – The deadline for applying for Community Grants from the Foundation was February 26. We are not currently accepting any applications for funding.
Community Grants are awarded on a competitive basis, drawing from the Foundation's available discretionary funds and only to projects that directly benefit the residents of Santa Cruz County.
We invest in organizations and programs that reflect the needs of our diverse community, that clearly identify and set goals for change and that maximize impact by aligning with other local efforts.
• Community Grants is the new name for our competitive grants process.
• All organizations seeking a grant from the Foundation in 2010 should apply now through this process. Support from the Diversity Partnership Fund for LGBT programs and the Rydell Visual Arts Fund for arts organizations will be allocated through this single streamlined application process.
• Community Grants are awarded only to projects that directly benefit the residents of Santa Cruz County.
• Community Grants are awarded for organizations and programs working in six broad funding interest areas: Arts, History and Culture; Community Development; Education/Youth Development; Environment; Health; and Human Services.
• Community Grants will be made to support programs, capacity building and general operating needs.
• Grant awards will be announced in July 2010.
