“The mini
grant program is an opportunity to uplift the neighborhoods we live in and
revive collective work and responsibility in our community,” said WDC President
Carrie Redman. “Betterment & Beautification are loosely defined within the application,
covering a wide range of projects from public art, community clean-ups, murals,
tree plantings and more qualify for grants. Beautification builds community pride, while partnerships
and grassroots volunteerism build beautiful, healthy, active communities.”
The
Betterment
& Beautification Grant
Program was created to support the WDC’s mission of “bringing revitalization
and beauty to our community”. All projects must support one of the following
principles:
(1) Support economic growth and
development (2) Make use of community connections (3) Enhance the beauty and
aesthetics of the community or (4) Bring a sense of unity to the community.
