Each year the Littleton City Council considers requests for funding from organizations that serve Littleton residents. Requests may include operational, one-time special purpose grants, or event sponsorships (in-kind or cash).

The submission deadline for 2022 funding was Monday, August 16 at 4 p.m. Applicants will be notified of funding decisions after the budget process is complete.

Application guidelines

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.

For questions about the process, contact the program administrator.
