This program awards up to $1,000 for grassroots projects that benefit Cleveland Heights and University Heights neighborhoods. The intention is to offer support for groups that wish to build community by working together to start or sustain a neighborhood project or initiative.
Since 2015, FutureHeights has awarded mini-grant funding to 102 projects for a total of nearly $72,000—ranging from community gardens to literacy programs. Woot woot!
