Neighborhood Grants Program
 

The Neighborhood Grants Program (NGP) is designed to provide matching grant funds on a rolling basis to assist community organizations in strengthening the social network of their community within the 12 NIF target areas. Grants are intended to spur small community efforts and improve the quality of life of each neighborhood through civic action and resident involvement. 

The program is an opportunity for residents to learn the value of community and how neighborhood partnerships can be effectively invested to support strong and stable neighborhoods throughout the District of Columbia. Our first priority is to support projects that align with the NIF program objectives.

Types of Grants Available:

  • Small & Simple: applicants may request $500 - $15,000 in NGP funds and must complete the proposed project within 6 months of executing a grant agreement with the District.
  • Large Projects: applicants may request $15,001 - $75,000 in NGP funds and must complete the proposed project within 12 months of executing a grant agreement with the District.
Request for Grant Applications (RFA) Packet and Attachments:
Due to the depletion of grant funds, the NGP Request for Applications (RFA) will close at 12 noon EST on Monday, June 9, 2008.

Applicants are encouraged to apply online.
