Grants

Mike Shoemaker Committee Chair

The Rancho de los Peñasquitos Town Council offers community service grants to individuals and organizations for activities, events and projects that promote the interests or provide community service to Rancho Peñasquitos. An individual or organization may apply for and receive only one grant per fiscal calendar year. Individual grants will normally not exceed $150 and organizational grants will normally not exceed $300 annually. In extraordinary circumstances these limits may be raised by a super majority (75%) vote of the full town council. Grants will be awarded, as the Town Council deems appropriate. Applications will be accepted on a continuing basis and will be considered at the next grant review following receipt.  Only complete applications received in the provided format will be considered.

Applicants will be invited to make a verbal presentation and answer questions proposed by the Grant Review Committee.  Presentation will be limited to five minutes and should (at the minimum) clearly detail the proposed use of the grant, activity, event, project budget, other sources of funding and how the grant will benefit the community.

Under no circumstances will grants be made for political, sectarian or partisan purposes.  Furthermore, except in extraordinary cases, grants will not be made unless applicant can demonstrate the ability to match the requested level of funding from other sources.  In all cases, grant recipients are expected to use awarded funds only for the purpose requested and may be asked to provide an expenditure report with documentation as a condition of the grant.
