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.
