Good Neighbor Grants
Often the most innovative and effective ideas for change emerge from small and informal groups of people within a community. The Good Neighbor Grant program reaches out to individuals and small, grassroots groups to support their efforts in turning their ideas into projects to benefit our community.
Good Neighbor Grants place resources for change in the hands of those closest to the issues that need to be addressed, which enables and empowers them to be "good neighbors."
Good Neighbor Grants provide up to $1,000 of support to projects that:
- Enhance bridges between people who are different from each other in some significant way (e.g. race, religion, economic status).
- Engage people—especially those who haven't participated in community activities before—in projects that make a difference in the lives of all those involved.
- Embrace youths by involving them in project planning and/or providing leadership opportunities.
Applications for Good Neighbor Grants are due the second Wednesday of each month. Grant decisions are made within three weeks of the date that we receive your application
