Gulf Shores Grant Application Period Closing Soon

The City of Gulf Shores is accepting applications for the 2026 spring cycle of its Nonprofit Grants Program through February 15. This initiative provides funding to nonprofit organizations that deliver essential services and programs benefiting Gulf Shores residents. Eligible nonprofits may receive up to $2,000 per cycle with a maximum of $4,000 per calendar year. Organizations do not need to be physically located in Gulf Shores but must provide direct services to residents. Funds may be used for projects, events or essential resources but cannot be applied toward salaries, debt service, operational costs or political lobbying. Submissions will be reviewed by the city’s Grant Review Committee, which will prioritize organizations that demonstrate significant local impact and efficient use of resources.
