Neighborhood Matching Fund Projects
The Neighborhood Matching fund supports local grassroots action within
neighborhoods. Neighborhood groups apply for grants from the fund and
match them 1:1 with in-kind services, cash, or volunteer time. Volunteers
design and build playgrounds, study and replant natural areas, buy athletic
equipment and undertake many other types of community improvement projects.
Since the creation of the Matching Fund in 1989, communities have completed
450 park projects. The projects listed below are ongoing or recently
completed.
