This program is designed to enhance neighborhood organizing and leadership skills of resident groups. Grant monies are available to develop, coordinate, and implement leadership-training opportunities that will build the capacity of community leaders to motivate positive change in their neighborhoods. This will assure that the neighborhood group has the capacity –among its members-- to lead and continue work in the future. Anything that enhances, develops, improves or expands neighborhood organizing techniques and leadership skills is eligible.
For Fiscal Year 2008/2009, applications will be accepted through May 1, 2009. Projects must be completed by June 30, 2009.
Examples: Workshops on newsletter-writing or grant-writing, membership drives, leadership-training, neighborhood mediation, land-use, zoning, 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 Leadership 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 offer a leadership class on grant writing, and need to purchase refreshments for the class, 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.
