Application guidelines for 2020

Application deadline is Friday, June 28, 2019 at 5 p.m. Late applications will not be accepted. Applicants will be notified of funding decisions upon city council’s adoption of next year's budget in December. All requests for cash and/or in-kind support MUST be completed online. Council cannot consider any requests without a completed application.

Preference is given to:

• Programs and events historically supported by the city that directly serve Littleton citizens;
• Programs with the most connection to Council Goals and Objectives (as identified in the Envision Littleton process);
• Programs with greatest community impact;
• Programs with the highest number of citizen participants;
• Established service providers within the city.

Grants will not be awarded for:

• Debt or deficit reduction;
• Events outside the city limits;
• Capital improvements;
• For-profit events and/or activities.

Other considerations:

• All applicants must agree to reference the city as a sponsor for programs supported via monetary grants or in-kind sponsorship;
• Individual awards are capped at $25,000;
• Applicants must submit a brief summary of how prior years' funds were used and contributed to the community with any subsequent applications.
