The
next cycle of Neighborhood Matching Grants from the City of Eugene
opens on July 1, 2009 with $50,000 available in funding for
neighborhood improvement or community building projects. Project ideas
include:
- Physical
improvement projects that involve recreation or public safety
facilities, natural resource features, public art and spaces or
community gardens. - Public school partnership projects that benefit school children and the immediate neighborhood.
- Neighborhood-based events and celebrations.
- Capacity
building initiatives that serve to create, diversify, or increase
participation in a neighborhood-based organization or promote an
understanding of issues important to neighborhood residents.
Grant guidelines and application materials are available on the City’s web site, www.eugene-or.gov/matchinggrants,
and at the Permit and Information Center, the Downtown, Bethel and
Sheldon libraries, the Amazon, Hilyard, Sheldon, and Peterson Barn
Community Centers and the Campbell Senior Center.
