Wildomar Non-Profits Invited To Apply For Grant Money

In order to help local organizations better understand the process of qualifying and applying for a Community Development Block Grant, the city of Wildomar will host a public forum Oct. 14.

Do you run a non-profit organization that benefits Wildomar?

The city of Wildomar is inviting eligible non-profit organizations 501 (c)(3) to submit applications for the Community Development Block Grant funds for the 2014-2015 program year. 

"The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a federally funded block grant program created by Congress in 1974, with the overall goal to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment primarily for low-mod income persons," according to a statement published on the County of Riverside Economic Development Agency.

The amount of money that Wildomar will be able to award through the program has yet to be determined by the county's EDA.

To be eligible for a CDBG, a non-profit must satisfy one of the following national objectives: provide a benefit to low and moderate income persons, prevent or eliminate slums and blight, or meet other urgent community development needs due to natural disasters or other emergencies.
