Results are in for the first year of the Neighborhood Project Grants and neighborhoods did not disappoint!
This brand new RNeighbors program was developed from requests from neighborhood association for access to small amounts of funding in which to carry out improvement projects. We started off in the spring of 2015 with funds from the City of Rochester and Olmsted County Public Health, with oversight from RNeighbors.
Offered once a year in the spring, these grants reimburse up to $1,000 in costs for neighborhoods to complete projects that enhance a neighborhood’s livability and involvement, benefit the entire neighborhood and promote a strong sense of community.
Each of the applications had to ensure that the neighbors would put in the volunteer effort to bring the project to completion on by October 30, 2015.
Special thanks to community partners in this effort that have allowed RNeighbors to offer these grant opportunities.
