Twenty-nine community groups received awards in March 2015 from the Neighborhood Matching Fund(NMF) for projects as diverse as youth fitness programs to pop-up parks. Here are the ones nearest to us in Pinehurst:
$17,000 to Lake City Greenways Project to develop partial construction drawings for a new Olympic Hills pocket park. (Community match: $12,724)
$25,000 to North End Health & Human Service Providers Co-op to create the Lake City Summer of Fun, a way to engage low-income youth in creative and physical activities. (Community match: $135,215)
$10,515 to Friends of Jackson Park Trail to remove invasive species and restore native plants in riparian area and on slopes above Thornton Creek along Jackson Park Trail. (Community match: $10,320)
The Small and Simple Projects Fund opens again for applications in May and September. To learn more visit seattle.gov/neighborhoods/nmf/smallandsimple.htm.
