Mayor LaFrance seeks applicants for 2025 Community Grants

Mayor LaFrance invites community members to apply for the 2025 Mayor's Community Grants. The application period will be open February 11 to March 10, 2025.

Each year, the mayor awards Community Grants to local charities and nonprofits working to improve the Municipality’s well-being. This long-standing tradition of local grants provides financial support and recognition for organizations working to address community needs.

This year, a total of $315,000 will be awarded to a range of projects that engage Mayor LaFrance’s policy priorities. Projects could include public safety (e.g., activating public space, behavioral health), housing (e.g., workforce development, addressing homelessness), preparedness (e.g., energy security, weather emergencies), and beyond.

We really want to fund creative ideas that serve the public and make a difference,” said Mayor LaFrance. “I look forward to recognizing the people working hard to make our community a safer, more vibrant place.”
