NEIGHBORHOOD PURPOSE GRANTS:

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.

Steps to apply:

  1. First, read the NPG Applicant Information Packet to see if you qualify. If you meet the requirements, you may complete the Fillable NPG Application to apply for the Neighborhood Purpose Grant. Follow the guidelines outlined in the Application Process.
  2. Submit your completed application and all required documents by email to Committee Chair and Vice-Chair by the deadline (see below for current fiscal year deadlines). If your application is for an event, it is recommended to submit an application at least three months in advance.
  3. Once all the paperwork is in order, you should receive an email inviting you to attend the next Grants Committee meeting. Although not required, it is helpful for you to attend in order to present on your application and answer any questions. At this meeting, the application will be reviewed by the Committee and scored on the EVRNC Grants Committee NPG Assessment Rubric.  The Committee will then vote whether to recommend to the General Board.
  4. If recommended, the application will be voted on at the next calendared General Board Meeting.
  5. If approved, Grant Awardees are responsible for  filling out an NPG Completion Report Form to show the Board and community how the grant was used and to provide photos, if possible.
