FY2024 Community Grants Applications Now Open

2023-06-29T19:20:13-04:00June 29th, 2023|Grants & Funding|

The Office of Grants Management is soliciting grant applications for the County’s FY 2024 Community Grants Program from qualified nonprofit organizations providing direct services to or advocacy for Montgomery County community members.   Both the County Executive’s FY24 Recommended Budget and the County Council’s FY24 Approved Budget (Resolution 20-184) provide $5.75 million to nonprofit organizations for unique, innovative programs to cover special community needs that are not otherwise addressed by other County funding or efforts.  Funding may be awarded to new initiatives or to projects supported by Community Grants in previous fiscal years.  FY24 Community Grants applicants may request funding between $50,000 and $375,000.  The performance period of these grant awards will be from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024.  Applicants may submit multi-year funding proposals of up to three (3) years but funding beyond the first 12 months will be contingent on both satisfactory project performance and future Council appropriations.

The target populations for this Grant Program are Montgomery County:

  • Youth: $1.5 million is available for programs targeting the needs of the County’s youth community;
  • Seniors: $1.5 million is available for programs targeting the needs of the County’s senior community;
  • Residents who have Disabilities: $1.5 million is available for programs targeting the needs of County residents who have disabilities; and
  • Residents who are members of Underserved Communities: $1,258,128 is available to nonprofit organizations from underserved communities who have unique insights into their local challenges and can develop the best programmatic solutions address them.
