Public Service Grant Program
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.
Fiscal Year 27/28 application cycle will open May 2027. To be added to mailing list, please email grants@coj.net. Provide name, title, organization and contact number.
