WHAT THEY WANT
(Summarized from the RFP)
The City of Santa Monica Housing and Human Services Department invites proposals from eligible nonprofit organizations, and hospitals, health care or educational institutions with a governing board, for four-year grants through its Human Services Grants Program. This is a funding solicitation: the City distributes grant money to agencies that operate programs meeting clearly identified community needs in Santa Monica, rather than hiring a consultant. The program has historically contributed about $10 million a year and in fiscal 2025-26 funded 18 agencies and 21 programs.
