A public meeting will be held on Wednesday, December 18, 2024 in which the appointed Committee will hear from each non-profit and will decide how to allocate funding. These recommendations will be presented to the City Council in January of 2025.  

For calendar year 2024, the City provided $25,000 in special event support, while receiving seventeen applications requesting over $93,425 in City support. Of those, all fourteen applications were funded or partially funded.

Simi Valley enjoys dozens of carnivals, fairs, car shows, art shows, fundraising walks/runs, concerts, and other cultural events each year. These events require planning and may require City services to run smoothly.
