City Of Dania Beach Launches Community Grant Program For Non-Profit Organizations

The Dania Beach Community Grant Program supports NonProfit Organizations that enhance the quality of life for residents through programs, services and events that align with the City’s strategic goals. These goals include maintaining a financially sound and responsible city, investing in Infrastructure and facilities, fostering a vibrant and sustainable community, and creating opportunities for leisure and cultural experiences.

Organizations must be Tax-Exempt NonProfits that provide programs or services for Dania Beach residents such as host events of local significance that offer economic, social or public relations benefits, including initiatives that promote environmental awareness, educational excellence, the arts or scientific research, or deliver programs that address urgent community needs or respond to natural disasters.
