Funding Available Through the City’s Small Community Grant Program Application Deadline - February 8, 2012 For additional information, contact Jessie Carpenter at 301-891-7267 or send an e-mail. The City Council has established a Small Community Grant Program to work in partnership with the community to help achieve the goals established in the Strategic Plan. Funding in the amount of $7,500 has been allocated for the Small Community Grant Program in FY 2012. Applicants must show how the project or program directly benefits the Takoma Park community. The Council will consider a broad range of requests, but all grant proposals must describe how the project or program will address the Council’s Strategic Plan. Through this program, the Council seeks to encourage creative thinking about how to advance its goals and to foster the development of new ideas to solve our common problems. Grants may be used as seed money to start new programs. There is no minimum request; small requests for funding of discrete projects are encouraged. The maximum amount of each grant is $2,500. The Council is particularly interested in projects that increase community engagement and result in the formation of new neighborhood or tenant associations, or that are done in partnership with and serve to strengthen existing associations. Grants require a 100% match from other sources or City funding must be used to leverage funding from other sources. Volunteer hours and in-kind services or donations may be used to match City funds. For Fiscal Year 2012, the program time line is very limited. The deadline for applications is February 8, 2012. Grants will be awarded in March. Projects must be completed by June 30, 2012.
