The City of Fairfax is offering one-time grants to nonprofit organizations that provide safety net services to residents. Eligible nonprofits are encouraged to apply for grants between $10,000 and $50,000. Applications will be accepted Nov. 3 through 5 p.m. Dec. 2. 

Nonprofit providers remain a critical component of the community's ability to support residents in need. This grant opportunity is intended to help nonprofit safety net providers remain sustainable by mitigating some of the financial burdens imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
