The Neighborhood Reinvestment Program provides grant funds to County departments, public agencies, and to nonprofit community organizations for one-time community, social, environmental, educational, cultural or recreational needs.
To be eligible, non-profit entities must provide services in one or more of the following areas: educational or recreation; activities that promote tourism; arts and cultural programs; environmental-awareness programs or projects, including maintaining and increasing open space holdings; public safety programs including fire-protection projects; or health and social service initiatives and programs. Public agencies may apply to fund programs and projects that benefit the community and enhance the region’s quality of life.
Grant funds shall not be used for any purposes prohibited by laws governing the use of public funds, including but not limited to, religious, political campaigning, or purely private purposes or activities. Grant awards are made throughout the fiscal year and there is no deadline for submitting an application.
A higher priority shall be given to requests for capital projects and one-time expenses.
To apply for Neighborhood Reinvestment Program funding from the County, an applicant must submit a completed application form and cover letter to one or more of the five Supervisors.
