Measure Q funds projects in two ways:
- Direct allocations (60%): Each year, set shares go to the four cities, the unincorporated county, and the Resource Conservation District of Santa Cruz County and a land stewardship partner. Each one shares an expenditure plan for how it will use its funds.
- Grant program (40%): The County awards competitive grants for projects that meet countywide needs.
Every agency and group that receives Measure Q funds reports each year on how the funds were used. The Citizens Oversight Advisory Board (COAB) reviews these reports and reports to the Board of Supervisors on results.
