Applications Open Now Through March 31 for City of Malibu General Fund Grant Program

The City of Malibu is now accepting applications for the 2026–2027 General Fund Grant Program, which provides funding to local nonprofit organizations that serve and benefit Malibu residents. Nonprofits based in the City of Malibu are encouraged to submit applications by 5:30 PM on Tuesday, March 31, 2026.

This program supports essential community services, strengthens local organizations, and helps nonprofits expand programs that improve quality of life for Malibu residents. Grant funding can help organizations sustain operations, reach more residents, and deliver meaningful services tailored to community needs.

To make the process easier and more accessible, this year’s application is completed through a single, consolidated online form rather than a PDF. Financial reporting requirements have also been streamlined, reducing administrative burden and allowing applicants to focus more on their mission and services.

Applications will be reviewed by the City Council’s Administration and Finance Subcommittee in May, with final awards considered by the City Council during budget adoption in June. Grant funds are expected to be released in July.
