Delray Beach nonprofits can apply for up to $40,000 in city grant money beginning Nov. 16, according to an announcement shared with BocaNewsNow.com. The city’s Neighborhood Services Division is accepting applications for fiscal year 2027 public service funding through the Community Development Block Grant and Urban Development Action Grant programs. The deadline is Dec. 16 at 2 p.m.
All applications must be submitted through BidNet Direct at bidnetdirect.com, where the form goes live on Nov. 16.
The money is available to 501(c)(3) nonprofits that provide public services to Delray Beach residents and meet federal program rules. Applicants must either start a new service or show a measurable increase in an existing one. Eligible areas include childcare and early learning, youth programs, literacy and education, fair housing outreach, job training, senior services, homeownership assistance and other services that meet community needs.
Each agency may take money from only one of the two programs. Grants are paid on a reimbursement basis, and recipients must file monthly performance reports for the full fiscal year 2027 project period.
