Indy grant program funds over 100 community projects

The Indianapolis Neighborhood Resource Center (INRC) distributed over $800,000 to organizations that have completed more than 100 community projects across 60 neighborhoods in Indianapolis. The Neighborhood Grant Program is supported by the City of Indianapolis and the Mayor’s Neighborhood Advocates, who oversaw the disbursement of the funds across five rounds since the program launched in 2022. The projects have ranged from community gardens and block parties to public art and neighborhood cleanups. INRC is a nonprofit whose mission is to support, advocate for and empower the community. The program is designed to support engagement, collective action and increased development of the community and provide financial assistance. “We are witnessing the incredible potential of our communities to drive meaningful change,” said Britt Redd, Interim Executive Director of INRC. “This program provides residents with the support to bring their visions to life. We are proud to partner with the City of Indianapolis to support these impactful projects and look forward to seeing their long-lasting benefits.” NGP #1: Added flowers near a sculpture at Fall Creek Preserve led by Round 2 Awardee, Millersville at Fall Creek Valley.
