County support grant deadline approaching

Awards up to $10,000 available for local non-profits

Local non-profit organizations interested in Community Project Sponsorship Program grants have about a week left to submit their applications.

The application period opened Oct. 10 and closes at end of business on Monday, Dec. 5.

A total of $40,000 is available for events and projects hosted by Inyo County non-profits during 2023. The maximum grant award for individual applicants is $10,000.

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

For example, last year CPSP grants were used to help sponsor Playhouse 395, the reopening of the Forum Theatre in Lone Pine, community murals, an outdoor youth program, the First Friday Markets, and other events.
