Applications can be submitted from January 1 to January 15, 2024, with the deadline set for 5 PM on the final day. Interested applicants can send their proposals via email to [email protected], through traditional mail, or by delivering them in person at the Community Services Office.

Application Process and Support

The City encourages engaged citizens to apply, providing multiple channels for submission. Jaime D. Perkins, who plays a crucial role in the grant application process, is available to answer questions and offer guidance. Perkins can be contacted directly at [email protected] for any inquiries related to the application.

For a comprehensive understanding of the program, including eligibility requirements and project guidelines, applicants can visit the City of St. Augustine’s official website. The site contains detailed information to assist individuals in crafting their proposals for maximum effectiveness.

The Neighborhood Grant Program not only aims to beautify public spaces but also seeks to strengthen community bonds through collaborative projects.
