The City of St. Helena is currently reviewing fiscal year 2023/24 funding applications from local serving non-profits directly serving the community and/or benefiting the City in accordance with the City’s Mission Statement.
The annual “Non‐Profit Community Enrichment Program” is designed to support local non‐profit organizations directly impacting the community and/or benefiting the City of St. Helena.
Funding Philosophy
The City encourages innovation and a goal of self‐sufficiency for all initiatives funded by this program within 24 months. Accordingly, all organizations requesting funds from the City should continue efforts to develop stable private funding sources. Submission of a complete application does not guarantee funding nor does receiving an award in the prior funding year.
Consistent with the City’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Strategy, submissions that identify and foster inclusion, belonging and social justice are encouraged. The City Council adopted Resolution 2020‐105: Affirming that Discrimination and Systemic Racism Constitute A Public Health Crisis Causing Disparities in Mental Wellbeing, Language Access, Housing, Economic Development, Health, and Criminal Justice Experience, and Reaffirming Its Commitment to Advancing Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the City.
