The City of Soldotna Mini Grant Program 2024 offers funding to support a variety of civic programs, services, and events that enhance the cultural, economic, health, and welfare aspects of the Soldotna community. This grant aims to assist initiatives that contribute positively to the quality of life for residents, including vulnerable populations. The program reflects the city’s commitment to fostering community growth through volunteer-driven efforts.
Applicants can request grants up to $1,000 per fiscal year. Eligible projects include those addressing public concerns, protecting public values, promoting local history and culture through art and music access, providing basic human needs, and improving health services such as mental health and crisis intervention. The grant supports ongoing programs rather than one-time or large-scale projects.
To qualify for funding, applicants must be organizations with annual operating budgets under $100,000. Political parties or candidates, religious organizations, and groups that received city funding in the previous year are not eligible. The program excludes requests for operating costs related to organizational maintenance, renovations or property acquisition expenses, long-term projects requiring multiple years to complete, travel expenses for individuals or groups, and individual requests.
This grant is designed for community organizations seeking modest financial support to sustain or expand their civic activities within Soldotna. It encourages proposals that demonstrate direct benefits to the community’s social fabric and overall well-being. Applicants should ensure their projects align with the stated priorities and eligibility requirements before applying.
Applications must be submitted by August 15, 2024. Interested parties are encouraged to review detailed guidelines on the City of Soldotna website to prepare a complete application package. This opportunity provides a way for local organizations to secure funding that helps maintain vital community programs contributing to Soldotna’s quality of life.
