Community Projects, Programs, and Services (CPPS) Funding Program

City Council Community Projects, Programs and Services (CPPS) funds are awarded at the discretion of each City Councilmember to nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and City Departments for community, social, environmental, cultural, and recreational needs that serve lawful public purposes. The CPPS funding program is governed by Council Policy 100-06.

FY26 CPPS: Final Reporting is Due July 31, 2026

FY27 CPPS

We are pleased to share that $900,000 has been allocated for the FY27 CPPS Funding Program. To learn more, please attend an Info Session where program details, application requirements, and a Q&A will be offered for both the CPPS and ACCF Funding Programs.

The Fiscal Year 2027 application will be open from July 7-August 7,2026.

We recommend completing the application in one sitting. Although the Seamless Docs system allows you to create an account and save your progress, many applicants experience issues with this feature. Council Administration is unable to assist with technical problems such as password resets or accessing applications that were not officially submitted. For this reason, it is in your best interest to complete and submit the application in a single session.

Complete applications consist of the following:

Application
Proof of nonprofit status with the IRS
Proof of good standing with the CA Secretary of State
Proof of good standing with the CA Attorney General
IRS Form 990, 990EZ, or 990N
IRS Form W-9
Certification for a Drug Free Workplace Form
EOC Workforce Report Form

The application will require items 2–5 to be uploaded as PDFs, while items 6–8 are completed directly in the form. Please ensure all materials are fully completed to avoid delays or potential ineligibility.

Applications will only be accepted through the Seamless Docs platform and are due at midnight on August 7. Late submission will not be accepted.

Applicants must be in good standing with the CA Attorney General and CA Secretary of State at the time of submission. Please use the Supplemental Document Tutorial Video to access the required attachments for items 2–5. Note that meeting all qualifications does not guarantee funding.

Please use the Application Instructions and FAQ for Applicants resources before contacting the Council Administration Department with any questions. Due to the high volume of inquiries, responses will be provided via email only and may take 3–5 business days.

Questions regarding the funding priorities of a Councilmember should be directed to that office's CPPS Representative as funding allocations are made solely at the discretion of their office.
