Pensacola Neighborhood Challenge Grant Program Accepting Applications

The City of Pensacola is now accepting applications for the spring cycle of the Fiscal Year 2020-21 Pensacola Neighborhood Challenge Grant Program, which is a matching grant program that provides City of Pensacola neighborhood associations with funding to complete neighborhood improvement projects.
 
Applications for the program will be available on the City of Pensacola website during the grant application cycle, which is open through 4 p.m. Friday, April 30.

Through the Pensacola Neighborhood Challenge Grant Program, funds can be used for various neighborhood initiatives, including beautification projects, signage, sidewalks or other improvements to public property. Funds can be matched by cash, in-kind contributions, volunteer labor, or any combination of the three.

Examples of eligible projects include, but are not limited to, family/home safety training, drug and fire prevention programs, cultural exhibit areas, after school enrichment programs and youth literacy programs.
