Bernalillo County Welcomes Neighborhood Improvement Projects with Outreach Grants
Bernalillo County has just announced a unique Neighborhood Outreach Grant Program that offers up to $10,000 for projects that provide public benefits. The program was created to help neighborhood groups enhance and strengthen their communities. Grants will range from $500 to $1,000 for “simple projects,” $1,000 to $3,000 for “small projects,” and up to $5,000 to $10,000 for “large projects” that benefit more people and may require technical or professional assistance. The large projects will also require matching funds and sponsors.
This is an opportunity to organize a community vegetable garden to feed the poor? Or get everyone on your block to learn CPR?
“Neighborhood associations have always played an important role in strengthening their own communities and improving public participation in community activities and government processes,” says Bernalillo County Commission Chair Art De La Cruz. “The Neighborhood Outreach Grant Program is intended to promote collaboration between the County and neighborhood associations by enhancing the quality of life for Bernalillo County residents. Recognized neighborhood associations in both the County and the City of Albuquerque are eligible to apply. Grant solicitations will take place twice a year. I would like to encourage everyone to participate.”
Projects must:
- Provide a public benefit
- Be free and open to all residents within neighborhood association boundaries
- Emphasize self-help, with project ideas initiated, planned and implemented by the neighbors and community members who will themselves be impacted by the project
- Demonstrate community match (required for large projects only)
- Occur within Bernalillo County
For more information, please contact Bernalillo County Neighborhood Program Coordinator Bernadette Miera at 505-468-1279 or bmiera@bernco.gov. |
