The City of Renton Neighborhood Program is offering 2011 mini grants to qualifying neighborhoods to assist in neighborhood-based communications activities.
Mini grants for communications are available to all neighborhood groups or homeowners associations that are officially recognized by the city’s Neighborhood Program.
Funding for the mini grants is based on a standard of $1 annually per household contacted. For example, if a neighborhood has 100 residents and each household is contacted, the group can apply for $100 per year in grant funds, if grant stipulations are met.
Eligible organizations include organized neighborhood associations that draw membership from commonly recognized geographic neighborhoods in Renton, or ad hoc groups of neighbors who form an organization to work on a specific project.
Grant applications are due by 5 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 11. 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.
For details, contact Neighborhood Program Coordinator Norma McQuiller at 425-430-6595 or nmcquiller@rentonwa.gov or Neighborhood Program Assistant Wendy Kirchner at 425-430-6594 or wkirchner@rentonwa.gov.
