2025 Town of Ridgway Community Grant Program
Welcome to the Town of Ridgway Community Grant Program! The Town of Ridgway accepts applications for community grant funding from non-profit organizations that provide programs and services in a number of areas. The overall intent of this program is to provide financial support to programs and services that benefit the Ridgway community which are not otherwise provided through the Town of Ridgway municipal government.
Community Grant Applications are reviewed on an annual basis. Grant funding is prioritized and approved through our annual budgeting process. Applications must be submitted electronically no later than 5:00 p.m. on Monday, September 16, 2024. Notices are not sent to past funding recipients. Interested organizations must reapply for any additional funding request.
An Ad Hoc Community Grant Review Committee will review all applications and make funding recommendations to the Ridgway Town Council. Funding decisions are based on the completeness of the application, supporting documentation, eligibility, compliance with review guidelines, recommendation from the Ad Hoc Grant Review Committee and availability of funds. The Ad Hoc Grant Review Committee does not anticipate conducting presentation meetings with applicants. However, the Ad Hoc Grant Review Committee may have questions or requests for additional information from applicants prior to convening as a Committee to review applications.
The Ridgway Town Council approved $102,760 for community grants in 2024. This funding level is not guaranteed for 2025 and is at the complete discretion of the Town Council. The Ad Hoc Review Committee’s funding recommendations will be incorporated into the annual proposed budget. The Town Council will take final action on the 2025 budget in December, 2024. Applicants may receive full funding, partial funding or no funding. The Town of Ridgway reserves the sole right and discretion to determine the level of funding for all community grant applications.
The 2025 Community Grant Program Application is available HERE.
THE APPLICATION DEADLINE IS 5:00 P.M. ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2024.
