Learn about applying for government grants, and about past cycles of the James Cary Smith Community Grant Program.
The Air District, in partnership with a consultant team, hosted a workshop on May 14, 2024, that aimed to demystify public funding in order to help community groups assess their interest, capacity and fit for applying for federal and state grant opportunities. This workshop covered topics such as what to consider before applying and where to access pro bono resources, tools, and technical assistance. The workshop did not provide information about applying for Air District grants.
