City Hall is ready again in 2022 to help you build community in your neighborhood or a neighborhood in your Seattle community with projects ranging from a few hundred bucks to $50,000 investments.
Upcoming workshops can help you sort out options for the two Neighborhood Matching Fund programs — the Community Partnership Fund provides funding up to $50,000 for larger projects including art installations and parks improvements while the Small Sparks Fund grants are distributed on a rolling basis and can be used for everything from neighborhood block parties to clean-ups:
- The Community Partnership Fund provides funding up to $50,000 with two opportunities to apply this year. Applications for the first round of funding are currently open and must be submitted by 11:59pm on March 28. The second round of funding will open in July. This fund provides opportunities to create large and lasting impacts in your community by supporting community organizing, public art projects, park improvements, cultural events, design, and construction of community facilities, and more.
- The Small Sparks Fund provides funding up to $5,000 per project, and applications are accepted on a rolling basis through October 31. This fund is perfect for small community activities such as neighborhood clean-ups, block parties, community art projects, workshops, and more.
The city’s Neighborhood Matching Fund staff will host three workshops in February and March for those interested in applying to the fund. The workshops will provide “an overview of the Neighborhood Matching Fund, the qualities of a strong application, and the review process. Neighborhood and community groups interested in the fund are invited to attend.” RSVP here.
