Planning Grant

In order to encourage neighborhood residents to plan their projects and activities carefully before submitting a Small Grant application, or to undertake small projects with quick turn-around times, SNP also makes available Planning and Micro Grants. 

These grants are for a maximum of $500.  They can be used to help plan your event by, for example, paying for the cost of printing and distributing flyers in the neighborhood, renting meeting space, buying refreshments for planning meetings, hiring baby sitters or translators to make sure parents and non-English speaking residents can attend, evaluating your project once it is finished, etc.  They can also be used to undertake small neighborhood projects that come together quickly and require very modest resources. 

Simply complete the form below and we will respond to you within one week of receiving this application. You will also receive a copy via e-mail, provided you enter a valid e-mail address. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions at 303-300-1790.
