The Half Moon Bay Beautification Committee is accepting applications for grants from nonprofits, educational organizations, and municipal agencies. Last year the committee awarded more than $100,000. The grants are funded by the Art & Pumpkin Festival. The deadline for applications is February 28.
The grants are a one-time contribution per fiscal year. Applicants must show documentation of nonprofit status and serve Coastside residents, from Montara to Pescadero. Applications will be considered from organizations serving children, youth, families and seniors, as well as Main Street and community projects.
Applications from political organizations will not be considered, nor will requests that include payment of staff salary or consultant fees.
To request an application, send a self-addressed stamped envelope to the Half Moon Bay Beautification Committee, P.O. Box 274, Half Moon Bay, CA, 94019.
