The City of Alameda is now accepting community applications for the Special Events Grant Program (SEGP), which provides financial assistance to support high profile nonprofit special events here in Alameda.
[1]Special events include festivals, parades, and community celebrations that require street closures and/or overtime or specialty support or services from the Police Department, Fire Department, Public Works Department, or other City departments.
Categories eligible for funding include police security, paramedic presence, development of traffic control plans and traffic sign rental, among others. All events must take place between July 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026.
Deadline to submit a grant application: Friday, March 21, 2025.
Maximum grant amount is $20,000, with a total of $102,600 available for this round of funding.
For more information please visit the City of Alameda Special Events Grants Program web page [2]. The application [3] and grant guidelines [4] are available to download in PDF format. For questions, please email Development Manager Eric Fonstein at [email protected] [5].
Please note that SEGP is entirely different from the City’s solicitation of grant proposals for Cultural Arts and Arts Programming [6], even though the application periods are both open at the same time. More information on Cultural Arts Program grants is available online [7].
