Eligible Projects or Activities
Love Your Block believes in the creativity and collaboration of Salt Lake City residents. These funds support a range of activities as long as they are 1) volunteer led and 2) bring neighbors together to reduce blight. We encourage neighbors to work together to identify solutions. These projects could look like but are not limited to; neighborhood cleanups (e.g. trash pick-ups, trimming overgrown plants, removing invasive weeds), installing public art, replacing or installing signs, lighting installations, reducing abandoned waste (e.g. trash in the Jordan River, carts/couches in vacant lots and greenspaces), repurposing vacant or underutilized lots as active community spaces.
Criteria
The project leader and grant applicant must be a resident or property owner on the Westside. Applicants may receive one grant award per grant cycle as long as any previously funded project is complete or nearing completion. Non-profit organizations, faith communities and local businesses located on the Westside are eligible in collaboration with neighborhood residents.
