Parks California grants help our State Parks reach their goals in becoming more welcoming, accessible, and relevant to all visitors. Take a look at some of our past grant recipients and the exciting work that our grants helped to fund.

COVID-19 Small Grants

COVID-19 created unprecedented challenges for many California State Park partners and volunteers working alongside park staff to provide world class experiences to visitors. The COVID-19 Small Grants helped current Nonprofit Concessionaires of California State Parks to modify physical park spaces to promote visitor and employee safety, and adherence to social distancing guidelines during the pandemic. In addition, this program supported up to $300 of expenses to assist with the reopening and safe operation of California State Park visitor centers, kiosks, museums, and gift shops.
