Application Period Starts for Nonprofit Assistance

Program to allot $650,000 this fiscal year in transparent process

San Rafael, CA – Nonprofits that provide countywide services in Marin County are eligible to apply for the County of Marin’s Nonprofit Community Partners program, which formalizes the way the County provides financial support to local nonprofits and assures transparency to the decision-making process.

The Nonprofit Community Partners allotments are $10,000 to $30,000 and awarded once a year. Allocations are intended as one-time funds to be applied to projects and programs that can be completed within the designated fiscal year. The funding is designed to support community services for which the expenditure does not fit neatly into the budget of a single County department.

Applications may be submitted online and will be accepted through Tuesday, February 20. Application guidelines and criteria are on the Office of the County Executive’s website. Applicants for the program must prove that services will be delivered in Marin, for the benefit of Marin residents, and are offered to all residents regardless of race, ethnic background, religion, or any other limiting factors.

County staff will review applications and make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors in June 2024 as part of the adoption of the final annual County budget for 2024-2025.
