Neighborhood project funds

 

Each year the Missoula City Council allocates $20,000 for Neighborhood Project Funds. The Neighborhood Project Funds are broken down into two categories, funds for large grants and funds for small grants. The process and amounts of grants differ depending on the category.

Large Grant Program

As part of the Neighborhood Large Project Grant program, up to $20,000 will be made available offering grants of up to $3000 to neighborhood organizations, neighborhood councils, non-profit groups and other individuals for neighborhood projects that enhance the quality of life in our community.  The program invites citizens of Missoula to take pride in their community by developing neighborhood-specific projects that encourage and celebrate our people and place.

 

These grants are intended for:

• Neighborhood Planning: projects that seek to guide the future direction of a neighborhood.

• Neighborhood Improvement: projects that seek to improve the physical dynamics of a neighborhood.

• Neighborhood Outreach: projects that strengthen neighborhood participation and build opportunities for neighborhood communication, interaction and problem-solving.

Next Large Grants will be available Sept. 2009

 

Small Grant Program

As a part of the Neighborhood Small Project Grant program, up to $2,000 will be made available offering grants of up to $200. Small projects must be within the city limits or benefit City residents and can be applied for on a monthly basis using the below one page application. The Community forum will review and approve small project grant applications at their monthly meetings. Small project grants can be used for individual projects or combined with other matching funds to fund a smaller project in the City or that benefits City residents that does not otherwise qualify for large project funds.
