Mini Grants Available from First 5 Sacramento!

Community Grants

Community grants up to $5000 are available through the First 5
Sacramento Commission. With these grants, it's all about the kids and
getting to know each other. To apply for these grants, all it takes is
three people (in Sacramento County) coming together and creating an
idea for a project that:

1) benefits kids five and under and
2) helps build relationships in the community

We want to hear your ideas! The Community Building Initiative (CBI) is
a unique program of First 5 Sacramento because it strives to support the strengthening of communities through offering small grants, technical assistance, and other learning and networking opportunities.

Now Available

Applications for amounts up to $5,000 will be considered. For each of the upcoming rounds of funding, up to 20 applications may be funded each round.

Who can apply?
Anyone in Sacramento County with ideas that will benefit children ages zero to five.

How do I apply?
Read through the application and connect with other community members to come up with ideas. Be sure to call and talk with CBI staff to share your project ideas and get answers to your questions. Complete an application by the application due date.

There are three (3) application deadlines remaining for 2008. Applications will be due by 5:00 p.m. on the following dates: Friday, April 4th; Friday, August 1st; and, Friday, November 7th.
