Community Assistance Grant Program
PURPOSE: The City of Indian Wells recognizes the significance of community-based organizations and/or groups, and the importance they play in providing various services in the communities they serve. The City further recognizes that, at times, circumstances may warrant that financial assistance be provided to some of these groups. Since economic constraints dictate that every request for financial assistance cannot be granted, the City, in order to ensure that each request is processed equitably and consistently has formulated eligibility requirements and policy guidelines that must be met by all applicants requesting financial assistance.
