Applications for the city’s Neighborhood Communications Grants for 2015 are due at City Hall by 5 p.m. Friday.

The City of Renton Neighborhood Program is once again offering communication grants to qualifying neighborhoods to assist in neighborhood-based communications activities. Grants for communications are available to all neighborhood groups and/or homeowners’ associations that are officially recognized by the city’s Neighborhood Program.

These grants can be used to offset the cost of printing, mailing or electronic distribution, and development of newsletters, flyers or posters.

Funding for the communication grants is based on a standard of $1.50 annually per household contacted. For example, if your neighborhood has 100 residents and each household is contacted, you may apply for $150 per year in grant funds, if you meet grant stipulations.

Eligible organizations include organized neighborhood associations that draw membership from commonly recognized geographic neighborhoods in Renton.

Grant applications are due by 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 6.

Applications may be mailed to 1055 S. Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057; faxed to 425-430- 6603; completed online at rentonwa.gov; or emailed to nmcquiller@rentonwa.gov. Applications received after the deadline will not be considered for this round of funding.

For more information, contact Neighborhood Program Supervisor Norma McQuiller at 425-430-6595 or nmcquiller@rentonwa.gov.
