Community Partnership Grant (CPG)
Welcome to the Prince George’s County Community Partnership Grant website. We work collaboratively with community partners to meet the social and human needs of our county residents.
Our Vision
Our vision is to grow pride and sustainability in our Prince George’s County community by improving the quality of life for our citizens and residents. We believe that the nonprofit community is an integral part of our economic and social ecosystem, and are thereby committed to fostering an environment that reflects the Administration’s guiding principles of Integrity, Innovation, Collaboration, and Solutions.
The Office of the County Executive will ensure that the discretionary funding we invest in organizations will be in accordance with established criteria and focused on achieving quantifiable results.
What is CPG?
The Community Partnership Grant (CPG) program is the main discretionary grant initiative offered by the Office of the County Executive to qualified nonprofit organizations based upon a set of criteria, including the value added to the identified community, overall program costs, organizational stability, and adequacy of other funding sources.
The County Executive’s FY 2025 approved budget contains approximately $1.25 million for competitive grants to 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organizations based in or providing services in Prince George’s County.
Who Can Apply?
Any organization, institution, or association that is incorporated as a non-profit organization designated under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code that provides services or activities in Prince George’s County, and that can supply sufficient documentation their organization is currently in “good standing” from the State where the organization was incorporated (i.e., the State of Maryland, District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Virginia), is eligible to apply.
Note to Churches and Faith-Based Organizations
Prince George's County awards public funding to churches and faith-based organizations that serve the community through activities like food banks, donations, job fairs, and more. The County encourages churches and faith-based organizations to establish a 501(c)3 nonprofit separate from the religious entity so that proper financial and programmatic management is distinct and transparent. All County funding is subject to auditing to ensure public funds are used responsibly. Thank you to the churches and faith-based organizations that serve the Prince George's County community.
All award recipients are expected to:
- Administer the funds in compliance with the submitted proposal.
- Use funds solely for Prince George’s County residents and the documented activities as outlined in the proposal request.
- Conform to the program guidelines, programmatic evaluation, and financial reporting requirements, site monitoring visits, and any other conditions/restrictions imposed by the County in connection with the grant award.
- Promote that you are a County Community Partnership Grant recipient on your website and social media.
