A Surprise City Council-led initiative to assist community organizations in providing programs and events that benefit city residents is now accepting applications.

Surprise announced the Community Outreach Program, which aims to provide funding assistance to organizations within the city for programs, events and activities that enhance the overall lifestyle of the community.

To be considered, applicants must be a 501(c)3 organization or partner with a 501(c)(3) verified agency. The maximum award per applicant is $10,000.

According to program guidelines, funds are distributed by reimbursement through an invoice process.

The application, complete program details and eligibility requirements are available at surpriseaz.gov/communityoutreachprogram.

Applications will be accepted until 5 p.m. Friday, April 28, and should be submitted electronically using the city of Surprise Participant Portal.

A pre-application meeting that will include information about the program and the application process will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday, April 4, in the City Hall Community Room, 16000 N. Civic Center Plaza. Applicants are strongly encouraged to attend this meeting.
