NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNICATION GRANTS NOW AVAILABLE
Renton, WA: As part of its efforts to foster strong and healthy neighborhoods, The City of
Renton announces the Neighborhood Communication Grants for 2015.
The City of Renton Neighborhood Program is pleased to offer 2015 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 5:00 p.m. on Friday, February 6, 2015. Applications may be mailed to
1055 South 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.
Those interested in the grant program are encouraged to attend a grant workshop held
Wednesday, January 7, 2015, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m., at Renton City Hall. The workshop applies
to all 2015 Communications, Projects and Mini-grants.
For more information, contact Neighborhood Program Supervisor Norma McQuiller at 425-430-
6595 or nmcquiller@rentonwa.gov.
