General Guidelines
This year, we anticipate approximately $2 million will be available for the County Executive’s Community Support Grants (this amount is subject to change).
The following types of projects/programs are encouraged:
Program/Project Support that allows non-profit organizations to continue to operate and/or increase the impact of an existing program/project, or to pilot a new program to improve and enrich the lives of Anne Arundel County residents and communities. Costs may include, but are not limited to, program/project specific staff costs, supplies, travel, equipment etc., as well as a percentage of administrative overhead proportional to your program/project’s budget relative to your organization’s operating budget.
One-Time Projects or Small Equipment Purchases
Note: Collaborative Projects are preferred but not required for funding.
