Tucson, Arizona.

City officials in Tucson are opening up a new round of grant funding for local businesses and organizations that help the community.

This is the third time the city’s opened up funding for its Community Partner Grant Program, which helps local groups get money for community-based initiatives. This latest cycle is looking for projects focused on relief for families and frontline workers, youth development, and affordable housing.

The city says interested groups must make funding requests of at least $10,000 and submit a proposal by the end of this month.

Funding will be effective starting in November.
