As part of its efforts to implement the
ReNewport Quality of Life plan that was introduced earlier this year, the city of Newport is offering mini grants to fund hyper-local improvement efforts.
Applications are now being accepted for the mini grants of up to $500 for individuals and up to $750 for projects involving two or more people.
Funded by
LISC Place Matters, the grants can be used for just about any community project, as long as it targets improvements in education, health, safety and wellness, housing, economic development, parks and recreation, beautification and community engagement.
Eligible projects include cleanup efforts, public artwork, organized walking tours, community podcasts and much more. Have an idea for a project? Download the mini-grant application
