Update: All SacDIYff funds have been distributed for 2024

Sacramento DIY Fertilizer Fund has used up all its mini-grant funds for 2024.

Thanks to all who applied for grants who are doing so much cool shit in Sacramento. Apologies to those who we are not able to provide support for this year..

In 2024, SacDIYff was able to provide $$$ to help pay for

• printing and publishing independent community projects
• materials for artists, pop-up chefs, clothing designers, and urban farms
• sound, recording, and multimedia equipment for underground venues and promoters, community organizers, and bands
• organizing costs for zine fests, art & poetry collaborations, queer/trans-fronted gatherings, and band tours

Every year, SacDIYff  is thrilled to provide a small amount of support to the wide diversity of incredible projects people are creating in Sacramento.

SacDIYff will return for another round in early 2025.
