2021 Neighborhoods Rising Fund

 
NOW OPEN: 2021 Neighborhoods Rising Fund
Application Now Open

The Neighborhoods Rising Fund (NRF), a grant program for revitalizing neighborhoods, relaunched today, thanks to a donation from H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) as the primary corporate partner to bring more revitalization to neighborhoods throughout Greater Kansas City. The relaunched NRF is supporting an expanded geographic area, an increased award cap for its one-year grants, and new, two-year award options.

The NRF’s newly expanded geographic area includes Jackson, Clay, Platte, and Cass counties in Missouri, as well as Wyandotte, Johnson, and Leavenworth counties in Kansas, with a specific focus on historically underinvested neighborhoods in these seven counties, which is also CCF’s newly broadened service area.

The award cap for this year’s one-year grants increased from $3,000 to $5,000, giving neighborhoods with additional capacity an opportunity to expand their programming.

Also, this year the NRF includes two-year award options of up to $5,000 per year for applicants that have satisfactorily completed and reported on any prior NRF-funded projects.

Administered by the Community Capital Fund (CCF), the Neighborhoods Rising Fund (NRF) is a funding collaborative that provides grants for high-impact, innovative community projects and neighborhood revitalization initiatives, which help build stronger, better connected and more effective neighborhood organizations in low- to moderate-income areas, throughout the Greater Kansas City Metropolitan Area.
