County Welcomes 2027 Community Grant Applications

The Inyo County Board of Supervisors is once again making available $40,000 in competitive grants to help  support events and projects that benefit the residents and visitors of Inyo County.

The County is now accepting applications for the latest round of Community Project Sponsorship Program  (CPSP) competitive grants. Funding will be available for events and projects that are sponsored by local non profit groups and other not-for-profit entities and will be taking place in Inyo County during 2027.

The deadline for submitting applications is Friday, January 8 at 5 p.m. Postmarks will not be accepted. The  maximum amount that can be requested is $7,500. Interested parties may apply online at  https://inyocountyvisitor.com/cpsp/, where the grant guidelines, review criteria, tax status certification forms,  and final report template can be reviewed and downloaded. Applicants may request a copy of the application if  they plan to submit a hard copy, however it is preferred that applicants use the online form.

In general, the CPSP program is focused on helping local organizations promote activities and programs that  bring visitors to the area and enhance the cultural and recreational quality of life of the county’s residents.

Applicants must be in good standing with both the Internal Revenue Service and California Franchise Tax  Board. Insurance documentation may also be required depending on the type of activity planned. No funding  will be awarded to entities that cannot meet this criteria or that owe Inyo County property tax payments.

Grant applications will be reviewed for completeness and eligibility and then forwarded to an independent Review Panel for evaluation, ranking, and suggested funding levels.

Organizations or groups with questions about the grant guidelines, the application process, or the program in  general can call (760) 878-0292 for more information.
