New Neighborhood Capacity Grants Program

The Citizens Advisory Commission on Neighborhoods and the Neighborhood Partnership Office are pleased to introduce a new grants program for Glendale neighborhoods.    The program is open to all registered neighborhood associations, – regardless of age - in the City of Glendale.  Additionally, the program encourages partnerships with local schools, non-profit organizations, businesses and faith-based organizations.  The entire application process, from start to finish, is designed to take only a few quick minutes to complete and submit for review.  This new program has been designed to help neighborhoods remain engaged, involved and healthy by offering four types of grants that are tailored to their specific needs and goals:

• Community Building and Events Grants
