Parks California invites community-based organizations to apply for its Santa Cruz Community grant, a program that supports community-led engagement shaping the future of California’s state parks.

Through this program, community, state and tribal organizations can design and lead engagement activities that reflect community priorities, perspectives and lived experiences. The grant helps to center voices that have historically been underrepresented in park planning, better ensuring that state parks and beaches are welcoming and relevant to all who visit.

Apply by Friday, March 6, at 5 p.m. PT.
Information session: Friday, Feb. 6, at 2 p.m. PT. Register here.
