2025 Community for All Grant Program

The application window for the 2025 Community for All Program has closed, and all funds to support projects occurring from July 2025 - June 2026 have been allocated.

Program Information

In 2017, the City Council adopted a Strategic Priority that affirms Mountain View’s commitment to protecting vulnerable populations and preserving Mountain View's socioeconomic and cultural diversity, known as “Community for All.” As part of this priority, the City provided goal support to efforts to fund and/or improve awareness of, and access to, information and referral resources for immigrant community groups and mixed-status families.

This year, the City Council approved reinstituting the 2018 Community for All Grant Program and approved a mid-year funding request to move forward with the grant program. The grant application period was open from April 28 through May 16 and included two informational webinars for prospective applicants. Eight applications were received and reviewed to ensure the applicants met the eligibility requirements. Following the review process, staff selected six organizations that best met the program’s goals of building community and helping to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for immigrant communities and mixed-status families.

The organizations listed below stood out for their project ideas, focused outreach, and potential impact on the Mountain View community. These five organizations will each receive $10,000 toward their project.
