Apply for the Community Funding Program by March 5

Published on January 26, 2026

Each year, the City of Menlo Park provides monetary support to eligible community organizations and non-profit agencies whose programs respond to the human service needs of our community in three categories:

Basic services – activities that include, but are not limited to, services, including civic engagement, for the homeless, seniors, youth and low-income individuals and families, such as subsistence programs, healthcare initiatives and rental assistance
Community enrichment – activities that promote community enrichment, including, but not limited to, educational and recreational programs and initiatives that promote social equity and engagement
Community health – activities that include, but are not limited to, programs or projects that support Menlo Park residents’ well-being, preserve natural resources, improve indoor and outdoor air quality or increase community environmental sustainability

Complete the online application by Thursday, March 5.

The Menlo Park City Council will use the Community Funding Policy to allocate the limited resources to invest in community needs. Requests are for consideration only and do not guarantee funding for a particular agency.
