Pre-Application Information:

Grants can be submitted at any time during the calendar year, although they will be reviewed based on quarterly deadlines available at http://www.cityofdubuque.org/sustainability.

Grants will be awarded to all worthy projects during quarterly reviews, and so money will be available on a “first come-first serve” basis beginning July 1 each year to coincide with the City’s fiscal year. This means that if all funding is allocated by the December review, new funds would not be available for this program until July 1 of the following year.

Completed applications should be sent to cburbach@cityofdubuque.org.
