Click to Download Application - 2008 Small Project 
The Small Projects fund was created to get people out of their homes and talking to each other by organizing a small, low-cost project or event. The goal is to bring neighbors together to make their neighborhoods better places to live by drawing on the assets and interests of the organizers. Anything that benefits the neighborhood by reaching out to all segments of the community (seniors, renters, young people, people of color, etc.) is eligible.
For Fiscal Year 2008/2009, applications will be accepted through May 1, 2009. Projects must be completed by June 30, 2009.
Examples: A small gardening project, back-to-school event, street cleaning, a neighborhood event, a neighborhood/block party or festival, parade, picnic, etc.
What you need to know about Public Funding
If you are successful in gaining public funds from the Neighborhood Grants Program, there are some special considerations about public funding that are helpful to understand the planning of your budget and time line.
The funds for Small Projects will be dispersed in the form of Open Purchase Orders with vendors throughout Southern Nevada. Applicants are asked to contact their County liaison to schedule a time to meet to purchase all materials needed for their project.
For example, if you plan to organize a neighborhood street cleaning and request funds to supply garbage bags, gloves, trashcans, and cleaning products, you will be contacting your county liaison to meet you at appropriate purveyor of the items. The liaison will assist you with payment at the check out line.
