The City has long been a supporter of local non-profit organizations that serve the Martinez community.

The City is now accepting applications from community organizations for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2019-20, which starts July 1, 2019.
Application forms are available by clicking the link below, and at the City Clerk’s office (Martinez City Hall) at 525 Henrietta Street. Please note that completed and signed applications for Fiscal Year 2019-20 must to be submitted by 3 p.m. on Monday, April 15th to the City Clerk’s office, or scanned and sent via email to CityClerk@cityofmartinez.org. Applications will be reviewed by City staff, considered by the Budget Subcommittee and forwarded with recommendations to the City Council.
Please note that a total of $10,000 from the General Fund and $2,500 from the Recycle Fund were approved to support this program last year, and 11 local organizations were approved to receive community grants.
