Grants for Greening

Neighborhood Greening Grants
Many great projects start small and just need a little help to get off the ground. Parks & People's Neighborhood Greening Grants provide essential funding to a wide range of projects throughout Baltimore.

Neighborhood Greening Grants are available for Baltimore City community groups interested in conducting projects such as tree plantings, community gardens, vacant lot clean-ups and restoration, neighborhood clean-ups, schoolyard greening, water quality improvement and environmental education activities. Grant funds may also be used for tools, plant material, equipment and other needed supplies. 

Neighborhood Greening Grant awards are $1,000 or less but their impact is often monumental

Applicants with newly adopted vacant lots are eligible to receive in-kind services and materials, and additional funding if available through the Baltimore City Power In Dirt Initiative.

Clean Water Mini-Grants can provide supplements of up to $250 for projects and activities that improve the health and cleanliness of our local waterways. It’s easy to apply – simply submit the brief Clean Water Mini-Grant application along with your group’s Neighborhood Greening Grant proposal to be considered.

The application deadline for Spring projects is January 27, 2012 at 5:00 p.m.
