County: Monterey County (CA)
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 09/23/2022
Grant Size: $500 to $2,000
Details:
The SMCF seeks to support nonprofit organizations that have the leadership and capacity to provide important community resources and services in Southern Monterey County communities. In 2022, priority is given to the following types of requests:
- Specific projects or one-time costs that will result in measurable impact on an identified community need
- To establish or expand community programs that address a high-priority community issue or need
Preference is given to locally based organizations that have less access to other sources of support, and where a small grant can make a meaningful difference. Proposals selected for funding will demonstrate strong community support for the project or program and a viable plan for achieving results.
Funding Information
A total of $18,000 is available in 2022. Grants are expected to range from $500 to $2,000

Grants will be considered for projects and programs serving Southern Monterey County communities. The SMCF considers Southern Monterey County to include King City and all points south, excluding the coastal region.
