The 20% Funding Program allocates annual capital funds to select cities and the County of Santa Clara for urban open space projects. Eligible projects include land acquisition, environmental restoration, open space improvements, and activities that increase public appreciation such as trails and interpretive signage. Funding varies by jurisdiction and is based on parcel percentages within areas benefiting from the Open Space Authority's resources.
Eligible applicants are the City of Campbell, City of Milpitas, City of Morgan Hill, City of San José, City of Santa Clara, and the County of Santa Clara. Only these jurisdictions may apply.
