The Citizens' Benefit Fund was established in 1993 following the sale of the city-owned Roseville Hospital. The proceeds were placed in a trust and a portion of the interest earned each year is made available for grants with the purpose of improving the quality of life for the citizens of Roseville. Public agencies, schools and non-profit 501(c)3 or 501(c)4 are eligible to apply.

The Roseville Employees Annual Charitable Hearts Fund (R.E.A.C.H.) is a community giving fund created through the generosity of Roseville employees and retirees. These employee-donated funds are dispersed to local charitable organizations that serve youth, seniors and families in the South Placer County region.

The Roseville Grants Advisory Commission oversees the competitive grant process for the Citizens' Benefit Fund and R.E.A.C.H. Fund. Roseville Grants Advisory Commission reviews grant applications annually February through May, providing the Roseville City Council with their recommendations in June. The City Council has the final approval on disbursement of each of the grant funds.

The 2025-2026 Grant Funding Cycle will OPEN for applications on December 2, 2024. The funding amount this year is $284,710, which is significantly less than the past few years since all of the one-time monies from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) that the City Council allocated to the Grants Advisory Commission to fund non-profits in our community have now been distributed. This current year’s amount is similar to what the Grants Advisory Commission has recommended to City Council to award to organizations prior to COVID. With the increased number of applications in recent years, organizations should not expect to receive the level of funding as in years past.

The City Council will be reviewing the Grants Advisory Commission's funding recommendations in May or June 2025. Applications will only be accepted through ZoomGrants.  Please CLICK HERE to access the ZoomGrants page to view application.
