What's a SABHC Mini-Grant?
The Santa Ana Building Healthy Communities (SABHC) Mini-Grant program is designed to provide financial support to community groups whom programs, projects and mission are aligned with SABHC's vision. We hope that through the Mini-Grant program, Santa Ana adult and youth residents have the opportunity to acquire new skills, be able to participate in community activities and projects, learn more about the work and campaigns being donc by SABHC.
SABHC will be granting a total of $20,000 in mini-grants for this cycle of grants. Mini-Grants can be used to buy material/supplies or equipment that is needed for the project to be successful. All equipment that is purchased through the mini-grants will remain property of SABHC so other community groups and projects can have access to it to replicate the success of a project or assist them better in their project. Groups and/or projects can apply for up $2,000 in mini-grants.
