Big Ideas for Small Grants – Mini-Grant Workshop March 17

A mini-grant workshop on How to apply for Neighborhood and Environmental Mini-Grants will be held on Wednesday, March 17, from 6:30 – 8:00 pm, at the Shoreline City Hall, Council Chambers, 17500 Midvale Ave N.

Shoreline’s neighborhoods are thriving thanks to the residents who have used the grants to improve their communities and create neighborhood unity. A how-to workshop on March 17 will give you all the information you need to apply for either a Neighborhood or Environmental Mini-Grant. Grants of several hundred dollars up to $5,000 are available on a first-come first-served basis for both types of grants.
Environmental Mini-Grants create a sustainable community in Shoreline by developing stewardship among residents and businesses, creating partnerships among community groups and contributing to regional initiatives that protect the environment. Neighborhood Mini-Grants are used to increase community involvement, raise the visibility of neighborhood associations and create tangible neighborhood improvements.

Past Neighborhood projects include neighborhood banners and public art, researching and installing historical markers and a community carnival, while Environmental grants have supported wildlife habitat projects, SolarFest, K-12 wetland education, green business website development and school recycling, among others.
