New Haven Neighborhood Leadership Grant Program
Applications for the 2012 grantmaking cycle are now being accepted and must be submitted by 12:00 pm on February 13, 2012.
The New Haven Neighborhood Leadership Grant Program provides grants up to $3,000 and Leadership Workshops to help residents of New Haven contribute to positive change in their neighborhood.
This year, The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven will prioritize activities that enhance:
- student achievement;
- support a college going culture;
- help reduce violence;
- promote infant health
The Neighborhood Leadership Grant Program, formerly known as The Neighborhood Small Grant Program, works with resident leaders in New Haven neighborhoods to make our community a better place. The program is based on the beliefs that: resident leaders have the power to influence what happens in a neighborhood and the ability to build community where they live, that all communities have assets (which include neighborhood residents, local institutions, and private and public resources) and that by supporting neighborhood leaders, The Community Foundation facilitates their ability to inspire other residents to promote a healthy community.
Grant recipients will be required to participate in several Leadership Workshops designed to educate participants about the process and elements of leadership; dates to be determined.
