Granting access to nature

Grants from $30,000 to $75,000 are available to nonprofits, schools and public agencies for projects such as environmental education, outdoor events, classes and programs.
Since 2016 the Urban Grant Program has awarded $5.6 million to 74 community projects, serving every district within the authority’s jurisdiction, especially underserved and park-poor areas in San José, Campbell, Milpitas, Morgan Hill, Santa Clara and unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County.
The authority is hosting a virtual grant application workshop on Wednesday, May 28, 11 a.m.-noon. The workshop will provide guidance on eligibility, application procedures and how to submit a competitive proposal. Register at https://bit.ly/4dimjeF to attend.
