Purpose of the Program
The purpose of the Mini Grant Program is to fund projects that provide an air quality benefit in Yuba and Sutter counties by reducing emissions generated by registered vehicles, with a relatively low cost and quick turnaround. The Mini Grant Program was initially authorized by the FRAQMD Board of Directors on August 3, 2015.
The Program allocation for fiscal year 2022/2023 was $16,000 from the FRAQMD’s AB2766 funding (section 44220 through 44247 of the California Health and Safety Code). No individual project can receive more than $2,000.
Types of Eligible Projects
The types of projects that are eligible to apply for the Mini Grants must reduce vehicle miles travelled directly or through public education programs. The projects should benefit the people of Yuba and Sutter Counties. Ideal projects will tie into larger efforts to reduce pollution from motor vehicles.
Examples of eligible projects for the Mini Grant Program include:
- May Is Bike Month energizer stations in Yuba/Sutter counties Up to $100 per station
- The purchase of flags to initiate the School Flag Program up to 100% cost of flags
- Funding for publicly accessible bicycle racks up to 100% cost of racks and installation
- Grants for teachers to provide air quality curriculums
- “Kickstarter” grants for larger bicycle and pedestrian projects
- Publicly available electric vehicle charging stations
Projects should not be for personal gain or required by any law, statue, or court order. Projects that may result in a conflict of interest will not be funded. Projects must provide a benefit to the general population of Sutter and Yuba counties and should not be for the primary benefit of the individual or organization submitting the application. Projects that are denied by staff may appeal to the FRAQMD Board of Directors by submitting a written appeal to the Clerk of the Board at least 15 day prior to the next regular meeting of the Board.
