Application for Neighborhood Sustainability Grants open Sept. 1

FLAGSTAFF — The City of Flagstaff Sustainability Office invites the public to apply for a Neighborhood Sustainability Grant. The Neighborhood Sustainability Grant program is a competitive grant program that funds community projects related to food, waste, climate action, resilience, building energy, public health, and transportation.

Eligible applicants include individuals, groups of individuals, community groups, and not-for-profit organizations whose projects are within Flagstaff city limits. Applicants may request up to $5,000 for their project. Applications are open from Sept. 1 through Sept. 30.

Two grant workshops will be held in September to discuss the requirements for the Neighborhood Sustainability Grants and the Beautification in Action Grants and to give potential applicants a space to brainstorm and ask questions. The first workshop will be held virtually on Sept. 1 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. The second will be held on Sept. 17 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the East Flagstaff Community Library. Registration for both of these events is required.
