The Neighborhood Matching Grants Program has been helping Charlotte citizens improve their neighborhoods since 1993.  The program awards funds to eligible neighborhood-based organizations for projects that will make neighborhoods better places to live, work, play, and shop.  The program helps to strengthen neighborhood organizations, while encouraging increased neighborhood participation and partnerships with the city and others.  Neighborhoods in neighborhood statistical areas with median household income not more than $64,219 may be eligible to apply. 

Grants are awarded three times a year and applications are accepted on March 15, June 15, and September 15.  Pre-application workshops are held one month prior to each due date.  Attendance at a pre-application workshop is required before an application can be submitted.
