Apply for a Community Grant from ANC 4D!

Apply for a Community Grant from ANC 4D!

Do you have a great idea for how to help northern Petworth and Brightwood Park be even more amazing than they already are? Then get with an organization and apply for the first round of Community Grants under Advisory Neighborhood Commission’s newly revamped grants program! Grants range from $100 to $2000, and the first deadline is January 1!
Our priorities are:
· Arts and Cultural Education and Projects
· Extra-Curricular Educational Activities for Pre-K-12 students
· Neighborhood Beautification Activities
· Parks and Recreation Projects
· Block Parties
· Public Safety Projects
· Senior Citizen Programs/Activities
· Youth/Adult Education Projects

Organizations like Parent-Teacher Organizations, “Friends of” park groups, local nonprofits, senior centers, neighborhood associations, and more are all eligible to apply, and if your group is informal, you are welcome to partner with an incorporated group to apply for the grant. A local business may apply on behalf of a neighborhood block party. There are some other restrictions and limitations on the type of groups that can apply; all projects must provide “substantial benefit” to ANC 4D and be open to all residents; and projects must not be duplicative of DC government services. We cannot fund food or entertainment but we can fund equipment rental, marketing, and other needs for an event or food distribution activity.
Learn more about how to apply at our website, 4DGrants with any questions, and be sure to include the word “grant” in the subject line.
The rest of our deadlines throughout FY2026 are:
· January 1, 2026 (for consideration at February public meeting)
· March 1, 2026 (for consideration at April public meeting)
· June 1, 2026 (for consideration at July public meeting)
· September 1, 2026 (for consideration at October public meeting, using FY2027 funds)
