Community Enhancement Program

Thank you for your interest in applying to the County’s Community Enhancement Program. Community-based organizations (CBO) are vital in addressing systemic disparities inherent in historically underserved communities. As a result, federal, state, and local governments should provide supplemental funding to CBOs to ensure their success in fulfilling the needs of their targeted populations. My office aims to provide funding to organizations that successfully demonstrate a commitment to positively impacting the communities of County District 4.

Local non-profit entities may be eligible for Community Enhancement (CE) grant funding from the County to stimulate tourism, promote the economy, create jobs, and improve quality of life.

For your grant application to be considered, you must complete ALL the required fields and submit the requested attachments. Your grant will NOT be considered if any required and requested information is missing.
