The Community Support Agency Grant Program (CSAG) for FY2026 is now accepting applications to provide financial assistance to nonprofit organizations serving the residents of Newport News. These grants aim to improve the quality of life for residents by supporting nonprofit services that are accessible and impactful, with documented costs that align with community needs.

The program is designed to fund initiatives that enhance or expand services in Newport News or support capital improvements addressing specific local needs. CSAG grants also serve as incentives for the development of new services and programs, complementing efforts by city departments. A key goal of the grant process is to foster community and citizen support for funded programs, with the expectation that city funds will eventually be replaced by other funding sources, enabling future city investments in new programs.

Qualified nonprofit organizations are encouraged to apply, particularly those whose services are directly accessible to Newport News residents and align with the city’s goals. Applications should clearly document service costs and demonstrate how the proposed project will address local needs or expand existing services.
