project grants
Member nonprofits may apply for targeted, project-based funding to benefit the San Miguel community. We focus on early-stage A.C. nonprofits with limited access to traditional funding sources, where a modest grant can make a big impact. We’re excited to support grassroots programs that create meaningful, measurable impact.
We offer two grant cycles each year with submission deadlines on April 15 and October 15.
