Neighborhood Matching Project Grants Now Available
Renton, WA: The City of Renton is pleased to announce the Neighborhood Project Grant Program for
2016. The grants are available to organized neighborhood associations that have been officially
recognized by the City of Renton and with defined boundaries within Renton city limits. The grants
stimulate community projects that help build stronger neighborhoods and strengthen partnerships
between the city and its neighborhoods. Eligible projects include physical improvements that build or
enhance a feature of the neighborhood or benefit the general public.
The typical grant is $3,000 to $5,000 per project, although the actual amount is based on the project’s
merit. The grants are approved by Renton City Council, based on the recommendation of a staff-level
interdepartmental team.
Grant applications are due by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, March 11, 2016. Awards will be announced in April
2016. Applicants are encouraged to meet with the Neighborhood Program Supervisor prior to
submitting an application. For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact Norma
McQuiller, Neighborhood Program Supervisor, at 425-430-6595 or nmcquiller@rentonwa.gov
