Grants Available from the Southern Monterey County Foundation
The Southern Monterey County Foundation, an affiliate fund of the Community Foundation for Monterey County, has $14,000 available to grant in 2020 to nonprofit organizations, public programs and other groups serving Southern Monterey County Residents. Grants will range from $500 to $2,000 and focus on projects and programs that benefit the communities of Southern Monterey County, which covers King City and all points south, excluding the coastal region.
Deadline 9/25/20
Grant proposals are due 5:00 p.m. Friday, September 25, 2020 and decisions will be announced in late November. Applications can be found online at dev.cfmco.org/SMCF.
2020 priorities include projects or programs addressing COVID-19-related needs. Preference is given to locally-based organizations that have less access to other sources of support, where a small grant can make a meaningful difference. For questions please contact Brian Thayer, CFMC Senior Philanthropic Services Officer, at 831.375.9712 x144 or briant@cfmco.org.
