The city of Saratoga is accepting applications from local community event organizers who would like to receive grant funding to hold events in the next fiscal year.
Grant funding may be used for event materials, supplies, contract services, permits and city-related fees such as park rental or permit costs.
To be considered for funding, events must be held in Saratoga. Priority will be given to Saratoga-based nonprofit organizations holding events in Saratoga and nonprofit groups coordinating events in Saratoga will be given second priority.
More information about the process and a link to the application is available atsaratoga.ca.us/eventgrant.
Applications are due to the Saratoga city clerk’s office by 5 p.m. on March 6.
Applications will be brought before the city council on March 20 for consideration, and applicants are advised to attend that meeting.
