Jacksonville Public Service Grant Program

The Jacksonville Public Service Grant Program provides essential funding to nonprofit organizations that serve the Most Vulnerable Persons (MVP) in Jacksonville. By attending mandatory training sessions, applicants can apply for up to $150,000 to support programs that meet the community's prioritized needs. The program aims to enhance stability and growth in Jacksonville, focusing on initiatives that address critical social issues. For more information, visit the Public Service Grant Council's webpage.

NOTE:
Pre-Proposal - These deadlines represent the mandatory training sessions. Two mandatory training sessions are offered each year prior to the closing of the PSG application. Applicants are required to attend at least one of the sessions to apply for funding. Full Proposal - This is when the application is due.
Public Service Grant Program (PSG) builds a stronger, more stable Jacksonville by offering competitive funding for programs specifically geared toward our priority populations. The selection process of PSG awards is outlined in Chapter 118.806 and evaluated by the Public Service Grant Council.
Public Service Grants are available to nonprofits that serve categories of Most Vulnerable Persons (MVP) and/or Needs. Most Vulnerable Persons and/or Needs are groups of citizens or the common needs and traits requiring services from Requesting Agencies, whose needs have justified priority consideration over other deserving populations or groups in competition for City funding. The PSG Council assesses the needs of the community and recommends the categories of Most Vulnerable Persons and/or Needs for the upcoming fiscal year.

Nonprofits that serve categories of Most Vulnerable Persons (MVP) and/or Needs are eligible to apply.
