Neighborhood Small Grant Program
The Office of Neighborhood Involvement and Neighbors West-Northwest are pleased to announce the sixth year of this program which offers Neighborhood Associations and community-based organizations within our coalition area an opportunity to build community, attract new and diverse members and sustain those already involved. We encourage applicants to accomplish our goal by building partnerships between neighborhood, business, and community-based organizations. Engagement of historically under-engaged communities is a high priority for this grant program.
