City of Gulf Shores Opens Applications for Fall Cycle of Nonprofit Grants Program
The City of Gulf Shores is now accepting applications for the Fall Cycle of the 2026 Nonprofit Grants Program. This initiative provides funding to nonprofit organizations that deliver essential services and programs benefiting Gulf Shores residents, reinforcing the City’s commitment to meeting community needs and creating meaningful local impact.
“The Nonprofit Grants Program reflects our dedication to supporting organizations that make a real difference in the lives of Gulf Shores residents,” said City Administrator Jon Walker. “We want to ensure these groups have the resources they need to continue their important work.”
The program offers two funding cycles each year – spring and fall. Eligible nonprofits may receive up to $2,000 per cycle, with a maximum of $4,000 per calendar year. Organizations do not need to be physically located in Gulf Shores but must provide direct services to residents. Funds may be used for projects, events, or essential resources, but cannot be applied toward salaries, debt service, operational costs, or political lobbying.
Applications for the 2026 Fall Cycle are now being accepted through August 28.
All submissions will be reviewed by the City’s Grant Review Committee, with priority given to organizations demonstrating significant local impact and efficient use of resources.
