The City of Scottsdale’s fiscal year 2025-26 budget includes $760,000 in grants from multiple sources for community programs that will go into effect July 1.

The money from those grants will go toward:

• $180,000 supports a variety of human services programs including Adopt-a-Senior and Beat the Heat. This funding is provided from charitable donations via Scottsdale Cares, the city program that allows utility bill customers to add a donation to their monthly utility bill.
• $130,000 provides meals for Scottsdale seniors. The funding comes from the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community via a tribal gaming grant.

• $80,000 to non-profit service organizations like Scottsdale Community Partners, which provides a variety of assistance programs for youth, families and seniors; paid from the Scottsdale general fund.
• $120,000 will provide housing and suitable living environments for low-and moderate-income individuals and families. Funding is from a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant.
• The Scottsdale Family Resource Center was awarded a $250,000 grant to continue programs for children. The grant was provided by First Things First, a statewide agency committed to supporting young children and their families from kindergarten and beyond.
