Community Action Grants

The grants program was started to assist local neighborhoods, youth and other citizens to mobilize their talents. The purpose of the grants is to encourage widespread community action on the grassroots level. The CAG grant provides funds to neighborhoods so they may be able to meet some of the goals they have determined for themselves through the process of discussion and decision making as a neighborhood association.

Neighborhoods/Community/Homeowner/Property-owner Associations wishing to apply for a Community Action Grant must attend a one (1)hour information session.   All meetings are at the Bornemann Center for Community Education beginning at 5:00 pm
