Can one neighborhood apply for multiple projects? <br />Where should I begin if I want to organize and mobilize <br />my neighborhood to submit a grant application this <br />year? <br />If we received funding in previous years, are we elligible <br />to apply again? <br />If the neighborhood contributes funds toward the project, <br />will those dollars be considered part of the $15,000 cap or <br />would it be able to expand the project beyond $15,000? <br />Will the funds go towards completing full projects only or <br />could partial funding be awarded? <br />Can projects be done on private or vacant spaces within the <br />city? <br /> Yes, all neighborhoods are eligible to apply again in 2025. However, priority may be <br />given for neighborhoods that have not yet received a grant. Neighborhoods that <br />received funding in the past are encouraged to propose a project that is different <br />than the project previously funded. For example, if you did a park project in the past, <br />we would encourage you to apply for something other than a park improvement in <br />2025. <br />Donated dollars would allow the total project cost to go beyond $15,000. Proof of your <br />donations or pledges should be submitted with your application. <br /> Start out by reviewing our Neighborhood Toolkit that offers tips for neighborhood <br />groups looking to form. The Engagement and Economic Empowerment Team can also <br />be a great resource to you! We can support you by printing materials to promote a <br />neighborhood meeting, facilitating a conversation with your neighbors to determine <br />the best improvement project and more! <br /> The review committee will determine this based on the demand and size <br />of projects that are submitted. If there is a need to do partial funding, the review <br />committee will contact the applicant(s) before the final recommendation is submitted for <br />approval. We want as many high-quality applications to succeed as the budget allows. <br /> Neighborhoods that apply can only request a minimum of $5,000 to $15,000 total. <br />Neighborhood groups are highly encouraged to reach consensus on a single project. If you <br />apply for multiple projects, note that the review group may choose to fund one project while <br />denying funding to another, so prioritizing them in your application is very important.Frequently Asked Questions
