The City of Fayetteville’s Economic and Community Development Department began accepting applications for the Empowering Community Safety Micro-Grant program on Jan. 27. The micro-grants focus on inspiring and boosting community crime prevention activities and programs in Fayetteville.
This program is part of an overall strategy to prevent crime across the city through innovation and impact. Grant applications are available at FayettevilleNC.gov/Microgrant or FayettevilleNC.gov/ECD. Applications must be completed and submitted by Feb. 23.
These grants are not limited to non-profit organizations. The program is intended to include individuals or grassroots groups seeking ways to make a difference in their neighborhoods.
The micro-grant program targets crime reduction in all city areas.
Successful applicants will demonstrate inclusivity, collaboration, use of existing resources and innovation in their submissions that address criteria such as conflict resolution and mediation, community crime prevention, opportunities for youth/families/parents, family stability, supporting upward mobility and implicit bias and diversity.
A pre-application workshop is strongly encouraged for all potential applicants. The workshop will cover specifics of the application software, review the grant cycle timeline, and answer any questions about the grant. Workshops will be held virtually, and registration is required. Please refer to the micro-grant website at FayettevilleNC.gov/Microgrant to register.
