Description
The City offers community grants to support non-profit organizations in delivering programs, capital projects, and special events. Organizations seeking funding must complete an application process and are evaluated by the Grants Evaluation Committee based on established criteria.
This action will involve City staff exploring ways to integrate climate action objectives into the community grant program. Emphasis will be placed on prioritizing initiatives that support equity-seeking groups and vulnerable individuals, ensuring climate-related benefits are distributed equitably across the community.
