Neighborhood Matching Grant Program Criteria

To determine a project's worthiness for funding, the City of Kent Grant Review Team assesses grant applications for a variety of essential aspects. A Neighborhood Grant is to accomplish, at least in part, the following goals:

Facilitate residential networking, which brings neighbors together and encourages communication.
Create a physical improvement that encompasses and benefits a larger area of a neighborhood in the community.
Enable projects that highlight at least one of the Kent City Council's Strategic Goals, such as: creating connections for people and places, creating neighborhood urban centers, and fostering inclusiveness.

Physical improvement projects within a neighborhood should:

Build or enhance a feature of the neighborhood.
Benefit the general public.
Be within the City's legal authority to approve.

The following criteria are used to evaluate physical projects:

Visibility and benefit to the public.
Neighborhood participation in all phases of project.
Fulfillment of Matching Grant contribution.
Maintenance after completion by neighborhood volunteers (if applicable).
Scope, type and need of project.
Physical improvements that benefit a larger area of a community.

More information on specific project requirements, as well specifics on what can and cannot be funded by the City, can be found in the Grant Information Packet.
