FY 2025-26 Listos California Statewide Grant (LS) Program

The FY 2025-26 Listos California Statewide Grant (LS) Program aims to support organizations throughout California that serve multiple counties and/or larger populations with key social vulnerability factors located in areas at moderate to high risk from natural hazards. The program focuses on community-based organizations (CBOs) that work independently or subgrant with local CBOs to provide disaster training and resources to vulnerable and diverse populations. • The program's purpose is to increase communities' disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation capabilities. • Eligible applicants must be nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status and have the capacity to serve a minimum of 10 counties throughout the state. • The total estimated available funding is $2,250,000, and applicants may apply for up to $750,000 for the 19-month grant period. • The funding method includes advances and reimbursements, with subrecipients able to request a one-time advance of up to 25 percent of their awarded funds.
