The Gilroy Garlic Festival Association (GGFA) is dedicated to the long history of relationships and protocols that support the local nonprofit organizations that have contributed to the success of the Gilroy Garlic Festival. Their volunteering efforts have been the backbone behind the Gilroy Garlic Festival since the very first Festival in 1979. Because of the recent shift in the GGFA operations, the contributions to the nonprofits and volunteers have been shifted.
Local nonprofit organizations are now able to apply for needed funds through a grant process.
Candidates for this grant should be based in Gilroy and the surrounding area.
Grant Funding: $500 to $5,000 per application per year with awards being presented at an event in October. To be considered for future grants, grantees must submit evidence the funds were used as described in the application (pictures, testimonials, etc.…)
Timeline:
Applications must be emailed to the GGFA by 9:00 pm PST, September 20, 2024, to grants@gilroygarlicfestival.com
There will be a grant award ceremony in October. More information to follow.
The nonprofit Gilroy Rodeo revives the spirit of Western heritage Aug. 9-11 while culturally and financially enriching the community.
