Community Place Maker's Small Grant Program
Have you got a great idea to improve your local park or street but need a few dollars to kick things along?
The Community Place Makers’ Small Grant Program is for you...
Your project idea needs to:
-
Benefit existing users of the place with potential to increase community use of place in a positive way
-
Result in a community benefit (physical improvement to place - activity, comfort, appearance. Social – community gathering)
-
Show evidence of collaboration and / or partnership
-
Involve community members in doing the project.
You may be eligible for a small grant of up to $1000.
