2025 Nature in Neighborhoods Capital Grant pre-applications  

Pre-application deadline: Tuesday, January 21, 2025 

Can schools, parks or other public land in your neighborhood become a place for people to experience and enjoy nature? Would privately owned property in your community make the next great neighborhood natural area? Can a redevelopment project in your community go the extra step to integrate nature and habitat if more funding is available? Is there a degraded stream, wetland or other habitat that needs to be restored in your neighborhood? 

The Nature in Neighborhoods Capital Grants support community-led projects like these in neighborhood livability, land acquisition, urban transformation and habitat restoration projects. The program will award up to $5 million this year across the Metro area thanks to support from voters, who in 2019 renewed the parks and nature bond. Apply on the Nature in Neighborhoods Capital Grants website by January 21, 2025.
