Silver Lake Neighborhood Council Adopts New Grant Guidelines

At its Nov. 2 meeting, the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council adopted a revised community grant funding program through the remainder of the current fiscal year.

That ends June 30, 2012.

The Board says it adopted the new program to allow as many organizations as possible to apply for funding in a fair and equitable manner. 

Grantees will be grouped into three categories.

The SNLC Board allocated $4,000 to "Neighborhood Purpose Grants," for institutions serving students. The deadline for those grants are Dec. 26, 2012, with a maximum grant of $2,000.

The Board also allocated $4,000 for community improvemement like graffiti removal, sidewalk cleanings and other beautification projects. Those applications are due Feb. 27, 2012. Again, no one grant can exceed $2,000 according to the guidelines.

Finally, the Board allocated $2,000 to "Events and Partnerships." Those applications are due January 23, 2012, with a maximum grant allowable of $1,000.

We'll keep you updated about grant information sessions that are expected in mid-December 2011 and mid-January 2012 for potential applicants.
