Community Investment Fund Program

District Priorities Grant Applications Now Available

The County of Sonoma invites organizations to apply for grant funding for local events, projects, and programs that will support businesses or enhance culture, and organizations that provide a benefit to the community.

Funds in this category may be used for activities such as safety improvements, environmental impact mitigation, public safety, and other tourism mitigation activities, such as parking enforcement. Funds may be used for projects that benefit the community, or to support organizations that coordinate community improvements, such as the Municipal Advisory Councils. The Board of Supervisors (Board) may award funding to County Departments or to Supervisorial Districts to complete priority projects. Funding may be used to cover salary and benefit costs associated with changed or additional staff, and other costs associated with added staffing.

The funds available in this category include $100,000 for each supervisorial district ($500,000 total) from the Community Investment Fund Policy and 10% of Measure L revenue to be allocated to each supervisorial district proportionate to the amount of Transient Occupancy Tax collected by the district in the previous fiscal year.
