The Neighborhood Improvement Grant Program has $10,000 available to grant funds to projects/events in amounts of up to $1,000 each. (Grant requests can be for any amount between $1 and $1,000.)
Types of Activities
All projects must provide an overall neighborhood benefit and may be used for a wide array of activities and projects, as long as they are not used for personal gain or improvements to private property, unless there is a community benefit (such as a mural). Projects/events cannot occur in areas not available to the public, like a gated community. Project coordinators are responsible for obtaining all necessary permits, permissions, licenses, etc. as needed for their project.
Projects must fit within the following criteria:
- Blight removal examples- litter cleanups, mural paintings, graffiti removal.
- Environmental stewardship examples- tree planting, invasive species removal, community gardens.
- Community involvement/events (one-time) examples- street fairs, block parties, cultural festivals, disaster preparedness classes.
Eligibility Criteria
Any Fife resident in a group of two or more may apply for grant funds and implement a project/event that will benefit their neighborhood. Your group must either be a non-profit, or affiliated with a non-profit that the city will contract with for this grant.
Grant funds may not be used for
- Projects considered to be “public works”, such as street improvements, traffic calming, or any project in the right-of-way that requires installation or ongoing maintenance.
- Staff or volunteer time to implement the project.
- Projects that began before funding was awarded.
