RAP Foundation Grant Opportunities

The Regional Access Project Foundation’s Vision is to enhance the quality of life for all residents of eastern Riverside County by investing in nonprofits and empowering them to effectively serve unmet needs identified by the RAP Board of Directors. Our grants are designed to accomplish this vision.

Our Grant Applications are available for qualified nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and governmental agencies. The following restrictions apply:

-The program, service, or project must benefit residents in Coachella Valley and Palo Verde Valley.

-Programs funded must address one or more of our Focus Areas: Health, Mental Health or Juvenile Intervention.

-Funding requests cannot be for fundraiser events.

Once an application is submitted, the review process takes between 30 to 60 days. If the application is accepted, you will be required to attend a Grants Review Committee meeting, either by web conference or in person at the RAP Foundation, to address any questions the Grants Review Committee may have in regard to the project/program. The Grants Review Committee will make a recommendation which will be considered by the full Board of Directors at their next scheduled meeting.
