Del Norte County Community Grant Program

How it works

Del Norte County’s Board of Supervisors established a Community Non-Profit Pilot Grant Program as part of FY 22/23. The stated purpose is to assist Del Norte County-based nonprofit organizations in delivering community services and programs for the betterment of the citizens of Del Norte County.

Funding is approved for the current year only and is not intended to provide ongoing financial support for the project or program. Grants may be awarded once per fiscal year.

Applications are reviewed by the County Administrative Officer and the Grants Technical Advisory Committee before being presented to the Board of Supervisors for final approval.
