The City of Simi Valley’s Community Projects Grant (CPG) Program provides funding to local 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations for community projects and programs that benefit the city. The program is made possible through an agreement with Waste Management and allocates approximately $150,000 annually. Awards are recommended by the CPG Review Committee, with final approval from the City Council.
The application period for the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 funding cycle is open until January 30, 2025. Nonprofits interested in applying are encouraged to review program guidelines and requirements. An informational workshop was held on January 14, 2025, to provide an overview of the application and review process. The workshop presentation is available on the City’s website for those who could not attend.
Previous recipients of the grant for FY 2024-2025 include organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ventura County, the Free Clinic of Simi Valley, Many Mansions, and others. These awards reflect the program’s commitment to supporting diverse local initiatives that enhance community well-being.
