CD4 Discretionary Funding Program

Updated CD4 Grant Review Process

As interest in Council District 4 grant opportunities continues to grow, our office has made a few updates to the grant application and review process (effective July 1, 2026).

To help us better manage the community’s many deserving requests, ensure responsible use of public resources, and give each application the thoughtful review it deserves, the grant portal will no longer remain open year-round. Moving forward, applications will only be accepted during designated grant cycles three times per year.

We’re grateful for the continued partnership and engagement from our community, and we look forward to continuing to support meaningful projects across Council District 4. 

About the Program

Grants of up to $5,000 are available through Council District 4’s portion of the AB1290 Redevelopment Fund, commonly known as discretionary funds. These funds help support projects that beautify our neighborhoods, serve community needs, and improve quality of life for CD4 residents and Angelenos across the city.

Council District 4 is proud to invest in community-driven work and support the organizations and projects that matter most to our residents.

 

Winter 2026 Funding Applications Open November 16th!

Our current funding request cycle is now closed. Please check back on November 16th, 2026 for our Winter 2026 funding application. 

Discretionary funding allocations are processed on a reimbursement basis. Funds are reimbursed after the approved programming, services, or activities benefiting the public have been delivered and the required documentation has been submitted.
