**Tags:** Grants & Funding


The City of Roseville Grants Advisory Commission met on November 10, 2026, primarily to hold an application workshop for the FY 2027–28 Citizens Benefit Fund grant cycle. Staff reported $321,905 available for awards, with a maximum request of $32,000 per applicant. The fund is supported by interest-bearing assets; staff noted that prior cycles had temporarily received additional ARPA funding. Applications open December 1, 2026, and are due February 1, 2027. Commissioners will review applications and make funding recommendations in April; City Council makes the final award decisions, expected in May or June. No grant awards were approved at this meeting.

The workshop covered revised application questions, eligibility and documentation requirements, scoring, and the need to show how proposed projects benefit Roseville residents. A procurement-related clarification to the city’s policy manual requires three documented quotes for capital items or projects costing more than $500 and less than $4,000; items costing $4,000 or more require three written bids, while purchases below $500 do not require documented bids. The commission also voted to recommend Zane Ahmed as youth commissioner and Ria Sarkarkar as alternate, and appointed Commissioner Jenkins vice chair. The commission approved its prior meeting minutes and adjourned.
