City of Rohnert Park Foundation - Sep 22, 2026
The Foundation Board was scheduled to consider updated guidelines for its Small Grants Program, which awards $5,000 to $10,000 grants from a $300,000 budget to community groups. Proposed changes would let school groups and other organizations partner with a 501(c)(3) to apply, drop the pre-application meeting requirement, and require a final project report before the last reimbursement is paid.
City of Rohnert Park Foundation - Aug 25, 2026
The Foundation's grant program for local nonprofits wrapped up its fourth cycle with $25,220 left on the table. Three grantees — Boys and Girls Clubs, First Responders Resiliency, and My World on a Page — never filed final reports, and staff are still chasing them. Residents want the board to consider letting unused money roll into the next grant cycle instead of shrinking it.
