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 offers two nonprofits or public agencies and municipalities in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont $60,000 each in direct funding for an indoor pop-up community space for civic discourse in both urban and rural BIPOC and/or low-income communities, along with placemaking technical assistance and capacity building from the Project for Public Spaces and CultureHouse teams over its 18-month grant period.
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.
