BACKGROUND
For approximately 21 years, the City of Santa Clarita has provided funds for community
organizations through the Community Services Grant Program. Each year, a Community
Services Grant Committee is assembled to determine funding categories, review and rate
applications, and make final funding recommendations. This year's grant selection committee
included Councilmembers Laurene Weste and Bob Kellar; Parks, Recreation, and Community
Services Commission Chair Matt Halliday; and City staff from the Finance Division, City
Manager's Office, and Administrative Services Department. Grants awarded in the past funded
equipment upgrades, facility renovation projects, roof repairs, and wheel chair access integration.
The Committee selected Community Benefit as the priority funding area for this year's grant
program. Twenty-four applications were received, with grant requests totaling $113,995.54.
This year's proposed Community Services Grant Program will fund 15 grant applications. The
maximum amount for funding each application is $5,000 (see Attachment A for a list of
proposed projects and agencies).
