The PSF has paused our Grants Program
Briefly

Starting August 1st, 2025, the PSF will pause its Grants Program as it reached its budget cap earlier than anticipated. This decision aims to ensure future sustainability. By mid-2025, nearly 80% of the grant budget was granted, leading to a necessary pause as applications exceeded the available funds. The decision reflects the importance of the program to the community and comes after thorough consideration by the PSF Board and Staff, who feel heartbroken over the impact this will have on community groups relying on grants.
