City of Las Vegas neighborhood associations had the opportunity earlier this year to apply for a maximum of $5,000 to help improve the quality of their neighborhoods. The NPF, a real “do-it-yourself” program for neighborhoods, allows the city to support citizen creativity, empowerment and responsibility. Applications opened Jan. 31, 2022, and were due by April 24, 2022.
Landscaping projects, senior citizen home safety programs, murals, or other proposals related to community improvement are types of neighborhood improvement projects that have been funded in past years with this grant. The program requires neighborhood associations match the city’s grant with cash, volunteer time, or in-kind services and goods donated to the project. Projects are required to take place within city limits and neighborhood boundaries, and include direct resident involvement in all phases of the projects.
For more information about the NPF program, call 702-229-4943, email NPF@LasVegasNevada.gov or visit the “Neighborhood Partners Fund” section of the city website at www.lasvegasnevada.gov/Residents/Grants.
