25 resident‑led projects receive NMF support

The city is pleased to share that more than $76,000 has been awarded through the Neighborhood Match Fund to support 25 resident-led projects aimed at bringing neighbors together and strengthening our sense of community belonging.

The Neighborhood Match Fund (NMF) provides contracts ranging from $500 to $5,000 for projects that promote social justice, inclusion, and public benefit. Each applicant is required to match the City’s award through volunteer time, donated materials, or cash contributions.

We also want to share that the next NMF application window will open from December 1 to December 31. Funded projects for that cycle will run from March through August.
