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.

Funding is not available to For-Profit Organizations, private foundations, NonProfits without tax-exempt status, organizations seeking to influence legislation or political campaigns, faith-based organizations using funds to promote specific faith, student travel or exchange programs, and community or event advertising initiatives.
