Summary

The council unanimously approved Resolution 408-25 to award $75,000 in community relations grants to local nonprofits; staff presented recipient names and award amounts and noted recipients must provide a one-year written update.

City staff presented the recommended recipients of the city’s $75,000 community relations grants at the Dec. 1 Caldwell City Council meeting and the council approved Resolution 408-25 authorizing the awards.

Raelynn (finance staff) described the application window (April–August 2025) and the scoring process used to allocate the funds. Staff recommended awards that, as presented on the agenda, included: Salvation Army ($15,000); Veterans Council ($15,000); Casa ($9,612); Caldwell Fine Arts ($5,500); Genesis Health ($10,743) and a senior-related project including $4,145 for the senior center and other smaller awards. One tied application (the Boys & Girls Club) was not funded because the $75,000 cap was reached. Recipients will be required to submit a written update after the first year describing how the funds were used.

Councilor Allgood moved to approve Resolution 408-25; Councilor Dennifer seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

Council discussion emphasized transparency of the selection process and adherence to priorities used by the scoring committee (alignment with mission/goals, impact on the city, project feasibility, timelines and expected outcomes). The council did not amend award amounts at the meeting.
