Join us on Friday February 7th at 12pm ET for an info session to learn more about the application process, the ideal candidate for this program, and for an opportunity to ask questions.

Many BIPOC and low-income communities across the United States lack access to dedicated civic spaces where community residents can organize, engage in public dialogue, and work to address local issues. This gap in our civic infrastructure hampers efforts to foster community leadership, build social cohesion, address systemic inequalities, and provide space for groups to hold government officials accountable. 

Project for Public Spaces’ Community Placemaking Grants: Civic Spaces, in partnership with CultureHouse and with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, will open on Monday, February 3rd.

The program will offer a total of two nonprofits or public agencies collaborating with nonprofits in the Northeast (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and/or Vermont) $60,000 each in direct funding, along with placemaking technical assistance and capacity building from the Project for Public Spaces and CultureHouse teams. Over the 18-month grant period, this initiative grantee organizations will not only implement a three-month, indoor pop-up community space, but also learn how to initiate and manage these spaces and promote civic engagement for the long term.

In this informational webinar, the Project for Public Spaces and CultureHouse teams will review:

We also answer questions from participants about the application process and the grant opportunity. We strongly encourage potential applicants to review the program’s full scope as well as the application questions, timeline, and evaluation criteria in our Application Booklet in advance.
