City Council - May 20, 2026
The Citizens' Benefit Fund — created from the 1993 sale of Roseville Community Hospital — has given $19.3 million to local nonprofits since 1994. This year 38 groups applied for $858,924 but only $279,940 was available, so 18 got funded and 20 did not, prompting the mayor to question whether Roseville-focused organizations are being shortchanged.
