Community Grants Program
Learn about a grant program that provides funding for community-based projects in the areas most impacted by air pollution in our region.
James Cary Smith Grant Program
This program is named for Jim Smith, the Air District's former Community Outreach Manager who launched the first community grants program in 2009. Mr. Smith passed away in 2015 from ALS, and this program extends his vision of a more engaged and empowered community.
2021-2022 Grant Cycle Information
During the 2021-2022 grant cycle, the Air District awarded grants of up to $100,000 per project to fund strategies that leverage the power of community members to fully participate in decisions that impact their environment and health.
