Love Your Block Grants

The Love Your Block (LYB) Grants program is for neighborhood groups listed with Neighborhood LINK that are interested in making a difference in their community. The program is designed to develop and build neighborhood capacity by funding projects that benefit the community. In addition to funding, grant awardees will be provided other resources and be connected to subject matter experts to ensure their project's success. Working on grant-funded neighborhood projects opens doors for networking and engaging with neighbors, which often results in a more cohesive community.

Neighborhood groups can apply for a grant for up to $5,000 to implement aproject in their neighborhood. Eight groups will be awarded annually. This year, the program is funded by our funding partners from the Phoenix Water Services and Public Works departments. This program is managed by the Neighborhood Services Department.
