Informational Sessions for Large Community Improvement Grant Program

Published on January 22, 2025

Centennial's Large Community Improvement Grant program kicks off next month, and in preparation, two informational sessions are being offered on Tuesday, February 11 and Thursday, February 13 at 6:30 p.m. at the Centennial Public Works building (7272 S. Eagle St.). The Neighborhood Services Manager will walk through the grant submittal process and talk with residents about their community improvement project ideas, discussing past successes and learning experiences, and answering questions.

Attendance at these sessions is strongly encouraged for any residents intending to apply for the Large Community Improvement Grant program. The Large Community Improvement Grant supports larger-scale improvements to neighborhoods, empowering Centennial residents and groups to spearhead community-based projects while providing the building blocks and resources for neighborhood identity. Groups may apply for up to $10,000 per project for community-based improvements, including but not limited to neighborhood signage, landscaping improvements, place making and community gardens.

Applications will open Friday, February 14. To find application criteria, eligibility requirements and more, visit centennialco.gov/communitygrants.

Established in 2021, the City's Community Grant Program champions resident-led initiatives, contributing to community improvement and neighborhood identity, with over $300K in funds awarded to communities throughout Centennial since its inception.
