The Neighborhood Beautification Program (NBP) provides grants to Detroit-based block clubs, neighborhood associations, nonprofit organizations, and faith-based organizations to carry out a project on up to four vacant lots in their community. Funded with $4.75 million from the Neighborhood Improvement Fund and the American Rescue Plan Act, the NBP offers grants of $500 to $15,000 for community gardens, public space improvements, and clean-up activities.
The original grant fund was established by Detroit City Council President Mary Sheffield in 2022 as part of the development deal for the Detroit Pistons' new headquarters and training facility in District 5. To learn more about the 2022 announcement of the program, go to detroitmi.gov/news.
This grant is managed in partnership with the Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency.
Eligibility
To be eligible for funding, applicants must:
Be a City-registered block club or neighborhood association. Nonprofit organizations and faith-based organizations can partner with a block club or neighborhood association and must submit a partnership letter.
Be an LLC or 501(c)(3) legal entity, or have a 501(c)(3) fiduciary partner.
Provide proof of ownership of the lots to be improved in the name of the applicant organization. Only parcels zoned R1, R2, or R3 are eligible for funding, and deeds in the names of individuals will not be accepted.
Please note that while organizations can only submit one application per round, City-registered block clubs or neighborhood associations can apply for their own projects and sponsor a nonprofit or faith-based organization’s project simultaneously.
