Hello Everyone,

Yucca District Neighborhood Beautification Grant applications are now being accepted. While I am giving wide latitude on the kinds of projects that will be considered, but one stipulation is that they must benefit an entire community or a neighborhood and cannot be used to benefit private property. Additionally:

• You must be a resident of the Yucca District in the City of Glendale, Arizona Please see the attached map to verify if your project proposal is within the Yucca District. 
• The project must be within the City of Glendale’s Yucca District.
• The maximum grant award is $3,000.00.
• Preference will be given to projects with a broad impact to the neighborhood and include substantial volunteer support.
• Grants will cover materials and supplies only. Labor will not be covered. Labor in the form of sweat equity is expected on each project.
• All grants must be accepted within 15 days of grant award notification and will have a specific account established for the project.
• The Council office reserves the right to amend the eligibility requirements based upon the community response and applications for grant funding.
