Parks staff review grants, donations and missed funding opportunities
Summary
Staff said three active grants fund programs (Habitat Conservation Fund for Camp Adobe and Pina Adobe pond restoration; a digital literacy grant for seniors), and reported more than $42,000 in cash donations to support events in FY26. Staff also noted two unsuccessful grant applications (urban greening for Unity Meadows Park and a Solano County First 5 micro-grant).
Scott Wagner summarized grants and donations to the Parks & Recreation Department. He said active grants include Habitat Conservation Fund grants for Camp Adobe Wilderness and a pond-restoration project at Pina Adobe and a digital literacy grant running cohorts and device distribution for seniors. Wagner said the department expects to close one Habitat grant by late summer and another by the end of next calendar year.
Wagner also said staff solicited and received more than $42,000 in cash donations in FY26 to support events and that staff frequently secures in-kind discounts from private vendors. He noted two grant applications were not funded: an urban greening grant for Unity Meadows Park and a small Solano County First 5 micro-grant for early-childhood equipment and training; both lost out in competitive rounds.
