Community Grant Programs

The City has developed two community grant programs intended to enhance and foster neighborhood collaboration and community engagement. These programs help reduce code violations and spur additional private investment within the neighborhood through the support of resident-led projects. Both programs pursue the City’s goal to increase communication among neighbors, build neighborhood identity and civic pride, and to bring neighborhoods together. This is consistent with the City’s vision. Neighborhoods matter after all.

Applications for 2024 have closed. Check back in early January for the 2025 grant application season.

This Grant provides small monetary grants to residents, HOAs and community organizations located in Centennial to support community building events such as neighborhood block parties, movie nights, and social gatherings.
