- All applicants are strongly encouraged to seek opportunities to collaborate with an existing neighborhood association if one exists in the neighborhood where the project will take place.
- The City will prioritize spreading funding out across as many neighborhoods as possible, so it is to your advantage to collaborate and consolidate applications where possible.

- Organizations that are eligible, however, may collaborate with these groups to implement the project.
