The Neighborhood Matching Grant Fund is a component of the city of Kent’s Neighborhood Program. Eligible grant funding can be used for entrance signs, landscaping or beautification in common areas, benches, walkways or murals. A dollar-for-dollar match is required via community contributions such as volunteer labor, donated professional services, cash, materials or supplies.

“This is a great way for members of the Neighborhood Councils to get more involved and to work together to improve their community,” said Toni Azzola, neighborhood program coordinator. Grants are evaluated by the grant review team and selected based on neighborhood participation, benefit to the public, planning, scope of work and maintenance of project after completion.
