Neighborhood Reinvestment Program

Thank you for your interest in applying for the County of San Diego's Neighborhood Reinvestment Program.

Does your organization have a project that will help San Diegans live safer, healthier, and more thriving lives? If so, the Neighborhood Reinvestment Program may be able to help bring it to life.

Through this program our office supports projects and organizations that create lasting public benefit and addresses the unique needs of our diverse community.

One-time grant funding is available to public agencies, and nonprofit organizations for eligible community, social, environmental, educational, cultural, recreational, and capital improvement projects that serve the public.

The program is funded through the County’s Transient Occupancy Tax, commonly known as the hotel tax, allowing the revenue generated by tourism to be reinvested into projects that strengthen our communities and improve resident’s quality of life.

Grant funds may be used for a wide range of eligible one-time project expenses, including equipment, facility improvements, program costs, and project-related staff expenses. You can also reference previous grant funding awards by clicking here: NRP Award History

To be considered for funding, applicants must complete all required fields and submit all requested documentation. Applications that are incomplete or missing required attachments cannot be considered.

If you have any questions about the application process, please contact District3Grants@sdcounty.ca.gov.

COUNTY DISTRICT 3 GRANTS GUIDELINES

Please read this webpage and grant application questions carefully. Given the high volume of grant applications, only completed applications to the County District 3 grants webpage form below will be considered for grant awards.

Each County of San Diego Board of Supervisors (BOS) office controls its grants schedule. As a result, grant schedules may differ, and it is highly recommended that CBOs contact an individual BOS office on specific grant-related questions.

If awarded:

o BOS offices have the discretion to fully fund or partially fund any item requested for funding in the grant application.

o District 3 will award CBOs one NRP award per fiscal year (FY).

Grant applications will be accepted throughout the FY. Review of submitted applications and award announcements will depend on the grant application’s submission date.
