INNOVATION GRANTS
Are you a civic-minded community member or student with a small idea for a project that could be the start of a big change in Los Gatos? The Town of Los Gatos is offering four micro-grants of $1,500 each to kick-start innovative grassroots ideas that would benefit our schools, neighborhoods, or community. Examples of past innovative projects have included developing neighborhood communication tools for wildfire preparedness, creating a platform for connecting excess household items to people and organizations that could use them, attempting new methods to reduce plastic waste in community spaces, dance programs for people with visual and hearing impairments, and public speaking workshops for elementary school students. What will your project be?
The Innovation Grant application period for individual community members and students is open from Monday, July 24 and closes on Monday, September 4th at 5:00 p.m. Applicants must be Los Gatos residents, or students attending a school in Los Gatos. Follow the application link to see all rules.
