Grants Committee

Our Mission

The Grants Committee consists of Board members and Stakeholders and is tasked with reviewing Neighborhood Purpose Grant (NPG) and Community Improvement Project (CIP) applications, and making recommendations to the General Board. Neighborhood Purpose Grants can be awarded to local 501(c)(3) nonprofits and public schools with projects that will benefit the Elysian Valley Community. NPG Application info can be found here.

Meeting Info

Neighborhood Councils follow the fiscal year of July 1st - June 30th. Grant Committee meetings are held on a rolling basis throughout the fiscal year as Special Meetings, depending on the number of eligible applications received and the remaining grants budget. Agendas are posted at least 24 hours prior to the meeting and can be found here, below, and the city website. To subscribe to EVRNC agendas and receive them by email, sign up here.

What is a Neighborhood Purpose Grant?

Neighborhood Purposes Grants (NPG) are grants of up to $5,000 awarded to certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations or public schools for activities that provide a demonstrable benefit to the community.

An NPG activity should build community, enhance the neighborhood, and be open, accessible, and free to the general public. Projects may encompass a wide range and can include, but are not limited to: the arts, beautification, community support, education, and community improvements.
