Got a good idea for a small project that can improve your neighborhood? The Phoenix Investment Committee has established a small grant program to support activities that improve the quality of life in the Phoenix Project area. Grants can be awarded to start a new project, expand on an existing activity or build relationships between civic groups and neighborhood institutions.
Applicants must live in the Phoenix target area and represent a Block Club, Neighborhood Association, or other community-oriented group in the neighborhood. Phoenix will only fund applications from local community groups working with the FROC Priority Board and Amy Clanton, Community Organizer for the Phoenix Project. For more information about the neighborhood project fund contact Amy Clanton at 260-0305 or Verletta Jackson at 333-2333. Or click here for an electronic copy of the application.
One of the first projects that used the fund was the renovation of the garden located on Fairview Avenue next to the Priority Board. Projects we have funded in the past include: neighborhood block parties, trunk or treat, neighborhood beautification efforts and back to school supplies for neighborhood children.
