PB Cycle 9 Idea Collection is Open!

Participatory Budgeting (PB) Cycle 9 Idea Collection is Open!

How would you make Vallejo an even better place?

Could we improve a park? Is there a local non-profit that could use some funding to support an extraordinary program? Do you have a beautification project in mind? What about an after-school project? As a resident of Vallejo, you are a local expert, and the Participatory Budgeting (PB) process wants to hear your ideas for potential projects. The ideas you submit today could be considered and developed into proposals for the May/June 2027 PB ballot.

Cycle 9 of the Participatory Budgeting process will fund up to $1,000,000 worth of projects. Capital infrastructure projects must be implemented on City of Vallejo property and have a max budget request of $300,000. Program and service projects are usually implemented by local non-profits and partner agencies like the Vallejo City Unified School District or Greater Vallejo Recreation District. Program and service projects can request up to $75,000.

Community members and non-profit organizations can submit ideas and their complete proposals here on this page. Non-profit 501(c)3 organizations interested in being an implementing partner must complete a prequalification application online by Sunday, October 22 at 11:59 PM. Click here for the prequalification application. You can submit your idea in-person at City Hall.

In Cycle 9, community members also have the opportunity to assist with the PB process as an outreach volunteer or a budget delegate by filling out a volunteer form online.
