Mayor’s
Neighborhood Matching Grants
Grant Notification & Awards Process
The entire grant review and approval process takes approximately 45 days. City
staff from the Office of Neighborhood & Community Affairs review each
application to determine eligibility, completeness and accuracy of each
application. A selection committee, comprised of City staff, previous project
leaders and business partners, then reviews the grant applications utilizing the
selection criteria and recommends which projects should be funded. These
selection committee recommendations are forwarded to the Mayor for review. The
Mayor and City Council then vote to approve the recommendations, thereby
approving the grant funds at a City Council meeting.
Before going to City Council, the Office of the Neighborhood & Community Affairs
will notify each grant applicant of the selection committee’s decision in
writing, during the month of December, specifying the terms for grant
implementation. The President of each selected neighborhood organization will
then receive a grant agreement from the City, which must be signed, notarized
and returned to the Office of Neighborhood & Community Affairs so that the grant
agreements can be executed by the City Council.
