The City of Dacono's 2025 Community Grant program is an annual initiative designed to provide financial support to community organizations. The program's core objective aligns with the City Council's mission to appropriate funds that directly benefit the Dacono community. The amount of funding available each year is flexible, determined by current priorities and the city's available revenue, ensuring that the grants can adapt to evolving community needs and economic conditions. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are community service organizations, federally designated non-profit corporations, and organized school groups. The program aims to foster a stronger, more vibrant community by empowering these entities to carry out their important work. While specific impact goals are not explicitly detailed, the underlying objective is to support initiatives that enhance the quality of life, address local challenges, and promote community well-being within Dacono. The eligibility criteria underscore the program's focus on established and organized groups. Applicants must be recognized community service organizations, federally designated non-profit corporations, or organized school groups. A crucial requirement for applicable non-profits is the submission of a valid and current 501(c)(3) registration, ensuring accountability and legitimate non-profit status. This priority on recognized and legally established organizations helps ensure that funds are directed to entities with a proven capacity for community impact. Expected outcomes and measurable results are implicitly tied to the activities undertaken by the grantee organizations. While not explicitly stated in terms, the city's strategic priority is to support a diverse range of community-focused projects. The theory of change suggests that by providing financial resources to these eligible organizations, the City of Dacono can indirectly achieve its broader community development and support goals through the efforts of its community partners. The varying annual funding based on priorities and revenue also indicates a flexible approach to strategic allocation, adapting to the most pressing needs each year.
