"The Town of Los Gatos is offering grants to nonprofit organizations for projects that directly benefit residents and the community. The one-time grants can be used to complete a project or initiate a program, service or event. Most grants range from $5,000-$10,000. The town encourages applicants to request only the amount necessary to complete their proposed project, and advises them to complete their applications in one sitting because there is no option to save an unfinished application."
"The bill made it through the California Assembly as wildfire season ramps up into the fall and was headed back to the Senate for approval. Senate Bill 653 aims to promote environmentally sensitive vegetation management and protect native plants and wildlife. 'My bill about vegetation management is so crucial because it addresses a key tension between wildfire prevention and environmental conservation. Senate Bill 653 is a science-based approach that eases that tension and is protective on all fronts,' said Cortese, who represents Silicon Valley."

Most grants range from $5,000 to $10,000, applicants should request only the amount necessary, and applications must be completed in one sitting. Grants fund programs and events held in Los Gatos even if the nonprofit is headquartered elsewhere, and organizations can receive a grant only once every two years; the application deadline is before midnight on Oct. 3. Senate Bill 653, authored by Sen. Dave Cortese, passed the Assembly and promotes environmentally sensitive vegetation management to protect native plants and wildlife while reducing long-term catastrophic wildfire risk.
