City of Sacramento Stormwater Quality Improvement Program

Community Action Grants

Annually, the City of Sacramento Department of Utilities Stormwater Quality Improvement Program appropriates $10,000 to fund Community Action Grants. Grants are awarded to projects whose goal is to improve the quality of local creeks, rivers and watersheds within the City. Grants fund programs (educational or others) that prevent pollution from entering storm drains, creeks, the Sacramento and American Rivers.
