Thirty-six non-profit organizations will receive funds as part of the 2019 Community Services and Arts Grant Program approved by Santa Clarita City Councilmembers at their meeting on Tuesday.

The annual grants are designed to assist community-based organizations in providing community services, art activities, programs and events for Santa Clarita residents.

The Council made $180,000 available for grant funding to non-profit organizations providing a community benefit, and the city received 59 applications for the 2019 grant year.

Agencies were able to apply for funding within four categories: Community Services, Community Arts, Santa Clarita Presents and Arts Organization Capacity.
