The Cortes Foundation is doubling the impact of the Grant-in-Aid program in 2025 by matching the SRD Funds.
This year, the Grants in Aid program will prioritize:
– Cross-organizational collaborations and
– New initiatives that seed ongoing change or revenue potential for community causes.
The total GIA pool of funds in 2025 includes approximately $25,000 from the SRD and $25,000 from the Cortes Foundation and is intended to benefit the community through support of the work of community social profits.
The average grant award is in the range of $1000 – $5000, with collaborative initiatives eligible for up to $10,000. (As this is a new hybrid program some projects may receive partial funding from each organization or initiatives not usually eligible may apply as part of a collaboration with a different lead organization).
Applications are DUE by midnight Sunday, November 16th, 2025.
Please go to the website to find out how to apply.
