Thank you for your interest in applying for City Council discretionary funding. The application-filing period for Fiscal Year 2024 is now closed. We are no longer honoring meeting requests for discretionary funding.

If you would like to understand more about discretionary funding policies and procedures, click here.

Our office will require one supplemental form from applicants after the application has been submitted. You can find that intake form here.  In addition, for reporting purposes, we will require of those groups who are approved for discretionary funding through our office an additional supplemental form upon close of the award period. This brief questionnaire will be posted here in the coming weeks, and will be due at the close of the year for approved grantees only.
