| County Funded Grants to Community and nonprofit Organizations are a large component of the Office's operating budget. The Community Conservation Action Grant Program allocates $100,000 in County funds for community-based physical improvement projects and projects celebrating the county's 35th anniversary. The Community projects require a 25 percent contribution from the sponsoring organization that can consist of cash, donated materials or services, and/or volunteer labor. Projects are limited to communities within the Community Conservation Areas. Administrative/Service grants are for the provision or purchase of services, the development of studies or plans, for operating costs to assist nonprofit groups in Community Conservation Areas and to supplement funds obtained from other sources. It is anticipated that these programs will continue at the same levels for FY 2009, since they play an important role in the mission and goals set by Baltimore County for the Community Conservation effort.
