Encore Grant
Who can apply: Applicants must apply for the Encore Grant together with an Impetus Grant; it is not offered separately. One Impetus Grant recipient is selected for the Encore Grant. The proposed second-year use must relate to the Impetus Grant request and requires supplemental questions and a second-year budget. Eligible applicants must meet the Impetus Grant eligibility requirements, including nonprofit status or an eligible fiscal sponsor, a two-year operating history, two years of independently prepared, audited, or reviewed financial statements, and service to Sonoma Valley. The Encore recipient must sit out of the application process for two years after the grant term.
Deadline: The Encore Grant application is submitted alongside the 2027 Impetus Grant application, due January 8, 2027 by 8:00 p.m. PST. One recipient receives the second grant in early 2028.
