Community Services Grants

The Town of Paradise Valley offers a Community Services Funding Application as part of its mission to provide high quality public services while maintaining a limited government approach. Through this program, the Town allocates financial support to external community organizations that deliver services benefiting Town residents or addressing unmet needs in the surrounding region. The funding is administered locally by the Town of Paradise Valley and is designed to supplement services that the municipality does not directly provide, thereby leveraging nonprofit and community-based expertise. The funding opportunity is structured into two primary categories. The first category focuses on homelessness and supports organizations that provide services to unhoused individuals across the broader Phoenix Metropolitan Area. Eligible projects under this category include shelters, transitional housing programs, outreach services, food assistance, and other initiatives aimed at improving the well-being of individuals experiencing homelessness. The Town has allocated a total of $200,000 for this category, which may be distributed across multiple awards depending on the number and quality of applications received. The second funding category targets community services not otherwise offered by the Town. This includes programs serving older adults, children, youth, families, veterans, and individuals in need of crisis response or prevention services. The goal is to enhance community well-being by supporting organizations that address gaps in local service delivery. A total of $65,000 is available under this category, also to be distributed among multiple recipients based on competitive evaluation. Eligible applicants include community organizations that provide social services aligned with the program’s objectives. The application requires detailed organizational and programmatic information, including mission statements, descriptions of services, populations served, and measurable outcomes. Applicants must also disclose organizational compliance details such as nonprofit status, legal standing, and audit findings, and submit supporting documentation including board member lists and IRS determination letters where applicable. The application process requires submission of a completed application form along with all required documentation via email to the Town. Applications must include a clear description of the proposed program, funding request amount, total program budget, and metrics for evaluating success. The Town’s review committee evaluates submissions competitively, considering alignment with funding priorities and demonstrated capacity to deliver measurable community impact. The application deadline is April 30, 2026. Awards are expected to be announced and finalized prior to June 30, 2026. Organizations selected for funding are required to submit quarterly progress reports and service metrics to demonstrate program performance and accountability. Questions and technical assistance are available through the Town via email, ensuring applicants have access to support throughout the submission process.

Ensure the proposed program clearly aligns with one of the funding categories and includes measurable outcomes and service metrics as these are required for evaluation and reporting
