THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Community, Community Development, Leadership Development, Civic Engagement
Deadline: Nov. 20, 2019
“The Center for Community Progress’ Community Revitalization Fellowship is a learning opportunity to help cohorts of grassroots community leaders revitalize neighborhoods that are struggling with serious challenges related to vacancy, abandonment, and disinvestment… Each year, six resident leaders from three communities (eighteen people in total) are selected as Fellows. They participate in Learning Exchanges in each other’s communities that feature a mix of technical and leadership trainings as well as local neighborhood tours. Fellows also develop strategies or projects to improve vacant, abandoned, and deteriorated properties in their neighborhoods.
In 2020, the Community Revitalization Fellowship will focus on helping residents lead community-based efforts to improve vacant, abandoned, and deteriorated properties specifically through the practice of creative placemaking… The Fellowship will also build the capacity of a key institutional partner in each of the communities to provide ongoing local support to the Fellows and their neighborhoods.
Program Highlights:
- Three Learning Exchanges for Fellows in each of the three cohort communities
- A Revitalization Workshop for a broad group of stakeholders in each community
- $14,000 to support Institutional Partners’ work and community engagement activities.”
Funder: The Center for Community Progress
Eligibility: “The ideal application team is organized by an Institutional Partner — a community foundation or other eligible organization — with a demonstrated commitment to addressing community and economic development challenges… All applicants must be from a small or midsized community (population of 300,000 or less) in the United States or Puerto Rico. Communities can be either urban, suburban, or a rural municipality. Priority will be given to communities where vacancy, abandonment, and disinvestment most severely impacts low-income communities or communities of color.”
