Community Assistance Grant Fund (CAGF)

Applicants will be considered based on the following criteria:

1. Organization provides a unique service that addresses an unmet need of the community and does not duplicate other providers or programs.
2. Organization does not rely solely on community assistance funding to remain viable and the services would cost more to the City if the City provided them directly.
3. Organization provides services that support the City’s commitment to the provision of a social service safety net that addresses the health and welfare of community members.
4. Organization provides regional services that enable the City to meet its regional obligation to help ameliorate social issues.

This year the City will once again be accepting applications for cultural grants.  These applications must still meet the above criteria 1 and 2, but they also must be existing Beverly Hills organizations, that have demonstrated a history of exemplary cultural opportunities which respond to community needs.
