Who Should Apply?

- The purpose of Community Connections Small Grants Youth Edition is for CCSG to support expressions of how youth show support, pride, comradery, and safety in their neighborhood.
Adult Residents
- Resident led groups of three, or individual residents who secure a partner (company, non-profit, government agency, etc.), living and working in the following zip codes 53204, 53205, 53206, 53208, 53209, 53210, 53212, 53215, 53216, 53218, 53224 and the Dunbar Oaks and Tower Hill neighborhoods in Waukesha are encouraged to apply. Projects should benefit a specific neighborhood and be planned and led by a group of at least three unrelated individuals, or an individual resident with a non-profit or business partner, all of whom reside in and around the neighborhood where the project will take place.
- The purpose of Community Connections Small Grants Program is to fund residents who are part of the fabric of their respective neighborhood. Projects should make use of the strengths and assets that already exist in the neighborhood. These strengths and assets are shown through the dollar-for-dollar match in the budget, the commitment of the residents, and active networks and strategies already in place. Applicants are encouraged to think creatively about neighborhood assets and how they can be used to accomplish projects. Assets can be institutions, organizations, and people whose resources, gifts and talents are used to move the project forward.
