City of Aurora Grant Program

Grants will be made to not-for-profit organizations with projects that will directly benefit
the residents of the City of Aurora. Grants from quasi-governmental organizations such
as fire departments and emergency units may take priority over other grant requests. An advisory committee consisting of the members of the Aurora City Council will advise the DCF on preferences among grant applicants.

Entities that provide specific services for the City of Aurora are also eligible to apply for
this grant program. Examples of the types of services include: economic development, EMS, historic preservation, housing, technical assistance, transportation and youth services.

The City of Aurora would like to encourage collaboration among applicants that are
willing to work together to improve the quality of life in Aurora. The City of Aurora would
like to encourage the formation of a collaborative umbrella organization to oversee all of the needs for youth in Aurora. Steps need to be taken toward this collaborative in order for your organization to receive funding from this program. Ideally, the City of Aurora would like to receive one request that would encompass the needs of Aurora Soccer, Aurora Pee Wee Football, Aurora Little League, YMCA and all other youth organizations requesting operational support.

Please note, all applications will be taken under advisement by Aurora City Council beginning in April 2008.

Deadline Date: March 3, 2008
Grant funds are no longer available in 2008 after this date.

To be considered, grant applications must be received in the DCF office no later than noon on the deadline date above.

All questions relating to available scholarship/educational grant opportunities should be directed to Jerri Worthington, DCF Program Director.
