Adams County Launches Neighborhood Community Fund Program
The Adams County Office of Strategic Partnerships & Resilient Communities (SPARC) has launched the Neighborhood Community Fund program to provide resources for residents and community groups to create projects, events, and initiatives that strengthen neighborhoods, foster connections, and address community needs. This program is designed to support local ideas and empower neighbors to work together to make a positive impact.
Projects funded by the Neighborhood Community Fund program will align with one or more of the program’s priority areas:
- Connection & Belonging: Initiatives foster a sense of community by creating opportunities for neighbors to connect, socialize, and build a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere.
- Enhanced Physical Appearance of the Neighborhood: Initiatives improve the visual appeal of the neighborhood through beautification efforts or upgrades that enhance the area’s overall look and feel.
- Sustainability & Resiliency: Initiatives support environmentally friendly practices or increase the neighborhood’s resilience to challenges.
- Community Engagement & Service: Initiatives encourage active involvement and volunteerism within the neighborhood, promoting a culture of giving back and working together to address community needs and improve quality of life.
“Adams County already has such a great sense of community, and this opportunity from our SPARC team will only strengthen those bonds,” said Lynn Baca, Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. “I encourage anyone in Adams County with an idea to help build up the relationships among their neighbors and communities to apply for funding through this innovative new program.”
Applicants must be residents or property owners in Adams County. Organizations can also apply if they partner with an Adams County resident or property owner for a community event. Applicants should apply at least six weeks prior to their proposed project or event.
