Mini
Grants
SBPCA provides
support via its Mini Grants program to assist active Peace
Corps Volunteers (PCVs) with projects needing funding in
their countries of service. Emphasis is placed on projects
that will have many beneficiaries, are community-oriented,
and will have a continuing benefit to the community.
SBPCA provides
Mini Grants funding to these PCVs in two ways:
1)
Directly to PCVs who have either (a) lived in or have an established
connection to Santa Barbara County, Ventura County, or San
Luis Obispo County, or (b) have been recommended by an active
member of SBPCA; OR
2) Through the Peace
Corps Partnership Program.

SBPCA Mini Grants Application form, click

Applications
are reviewed as received. Applicants need to be aware that
the evaluation process includes communication between the
SBPCA Board and applicants, and we are likely to have follow-up
questions after reviewing applications. Applicants should
be sure to include a current email address with their contact
information. The review process is likely to take between
a few weeks to a couple months, depending on how often an
applicant is able to check email and how responsive s/he
is communications with us.
