Grants

The Office of Grants Management is soliciting grant applications for the County’s FY 2024 Quarters 3 and 4 Community Projects Fund (CPF) Grants Program from qualified nonprofit organizations providing direct services to or advocacy for Montgomery County community members. Both, the County Executive’s FY24 Recommended Budget and the County Council’s FY24 Approved Budget (Resolution 20-184) provide $1 million in one-time funding for small, emerging, and volunteer led nonprofit organizations to implement small, community focused projects, initiatives, and events. FY24 CPF Grants Programs will be offered as a quarterly application with at least $250,000 available in each cycle.  Additional funding may be added to this pool from other County sources and may have further priorities, restrictions, and/or requirements. Funding may be awarded to new initiatives or to projects supported by Community Grants in previous fiscal years. FY24 CPF Grants Program applicants may request funding between $5,000 and $25,000.  The performance period of these grant awards will be six (6) months from the award date as the goal of this program is to support specific, short-term initiatives instead of ongoing, full, or multi-year programs.

Note that the launch of the third and fourth quarter competitions for the FY24 CPF Grant Program have been delayed by the volume of applications received in earlier quarters and other grants programs.  Applications for Quarter 1 and Quarter 2 are under active review with results expected before the deadline for this quarter’s competition.
