ReImagine Activation Grant Program

>> CLICK HERE TO APPLY <<

Downtown Sacramento Partnership is fully invested in promoting and activating a vibrant downtown. As part of these efforts, we created the ReImagine Activation Grant Program to provide micro-grants to downtown businesses and organizations seeking to activate spaces within the 66-block district managed by the Downtown Partnership.

The goal of this program is to support the need to provide community activities and experiences for residents, visitors, and businesses in downtown Sacramento. Funds should be used to support local artists, creators, performing artists, and organizations in their endeavors to increase the quality of downtown life and experiences.

Additional consideration will be given to applications that incorporate the concept of “togetherness” and creative incorporations of Downtown Partnership’s marketing campaign: “We are Downtown. Together.”

Awards:
Grants of $500 will be awarded to eligible businesses and organizations until funds are depleted. Eligible businesses and organizations will receive grant payments directly once all necessary information to process payments is received, including W-9.

Businesses and organizations are eligible to re-apply for additional grants 48 hours after the conclusion of their initial activations. There is no limit on how many times a business and organization can re-apply.

To be eligible to receive a micro-grant, applicants must agree to the following statements.

1. Produce space activation(s) in August, September, and October.
