The City of Malibu is now accepting applications for the 2026–2027 General Fund Grant Program, which provides funding to local nonprofit organizations that serve and benefit Malibu residents. Nonprofits based in the City of Malibu are encouraged to submit applications by 5:30 PM on Tuesday, March 31, 2026.

Grant funding can help organizations sustain operations, reach more residents, and deliver meaningful services tailored to community needs.

To make the process easier and more accessible, this year’s application is completed through a single, consolidated online form rather than a PDF. Financial reporting requirements have also been streamlined, reducing administrative burden and allowing applicants to focus more on their mission and services.
