Social Service Subgrants

The City of Campbell Social Service Subgrant Program provides grant funds to support community agencies that offer programs to serve Campbell residents. The programs fulfill a critical need that is not already provided by the City through an existing program or service. The Social Service Subgrant program provides funding for two years and applicants must specify the requested funding per year in their application.  

The application period is now closed.  Check back again in December 2025 for the next two-year application cycle.  

Overview 

The Civic Improvement Commission (CIC) is the lead advisory body to the City Council on social services. Specifically, the CIC is responsible for making recommendations to the City Council on allocating the City’s Social Service Subgrant funds to qualified community agencies via a competitive application process. The CIC reviews Subgrant requests, holds public hearings, and makes funding recommendations to the City Council. The City Council, in turn, provides authorization for Social Service Subgrant allocations in the two-year budget cycle approval process.
