Useful Information and Contacts

Matching grants up to $5000 are available for projects sponsored by neighborhood associations formally recognized by the City of Shoreline. Mini-Grants help neighbors increase their sense of community by working together on improvement projects or special events, and partnerships. These activities support the goals and mission of the neighborhood association while benefiting the Shoreline community.

Mini-Grants require a 1 to 2 match for the project ($1 of neighborhood contribution for every $2 of city grant funding). Neighborhood associations can use a combination volunteer hours, in-kind donations or money for their portion of the matching grant.

Is your neighborhood association thinking about a potential Mini-Grant project? The first step is to submit an idea letter. The Neighborhoods Coordinator will review and go over it with you. If all agree to move forward, you will be asked to complete a full application.
