Hi Kelley!
Great to meet you as well!
Happy to provide some information. Our upcoming grant is called the DEI High Impact
Grant. The notice of funding availability (NOFA) will not be posted until late July or early
August, as the current funding requirements and priorities are going to be heard at the
July 15th City Council meeting.
The funding term for this grant will start on January 1, 2026 (which is important to note
if you are looking to fund specific projects).
You can look at the information (funding requirements, examples, priorities, etc.) that
were used for last year's grant cycle to get an idea of what we have looked at in the
past. The majority of that information won't change for this upcoming cycle, but there
may be some pieces that do.
I encourage you to sign up for the City's e-notifications, if you have not already, as we
will send out communication when the NOFA is posted!
Happy to answer any other questions you may have!
Best,
Sam

Hi Samantha,
It was so nice to meet you at Pan Con Cafe! I was wondering if you could give me some
