Neighborhood Activity Grants - City of Longmont Skip to main content

Neighborhood Activity Fund (NAF) Grants

The Neighborhood Activity Fund (NAF) provides small grants to Neighborhood-Based Community Groups (NBCG) active* with the Neighborhood Group Leaders Association (NGLA) to support activities that build social capital, trust, and relationships between neighbors, enhance the capacity of the group, and improve the sense of community in the neighborhood.

Neighborhoods may apply for a NAF grant at anytime during the application period after attaining active status. NAF funding eligibility is based on community size and can offset qualifying expenses for most neighborhood activities or events that are inclusive of the whole neighborhood. NAF funds cannot be used outside the city limits, to purchase alcohol, or for political events.

*Representatives of a registered community group must have attended two or more NGLA meetings in the current calendar year to be designated “active” and qualify for a NAF grant and other NGLA benefits.

2023 Grant Changes

Significant changes were made to the NAF grant in 2023 to make it more accessible and increase available funding to eligible neighborhoods. Please review the guidelines document below for details. Notable changes include:

  • The Primary Application Period, is now April 1 through August 31
  • Applications are accepted from neighborhoods that become active anytime during the Primary Application Period and are non-competitive, thus all valid applications will be approved
  • Funding eligibility has been simplified, $200 for neighborhoods of up to 149 households, and $400 for neighborhoods of 150 or more households
  • Eligible neighborhoods are listed below and updated after each NGLA meeting
  • If funds remain there will be a competitive Fall Application Period from September 1 through October 31 that is open to applications of up to $400 from all active neighborhoods on a first-come-first-serve basis, regardless of previous awards or number of households in the community.
