2016 Small and Simple Projects Fund February Awards

DeptOfNeighborhoodsSeattle Department of Neighborhoods has announced the list of February 2016 winners of the Small and Simple Project Fund. All three projects that were awarded funds in our District 5 are in Lake City. That neighborhood has built a powerful advocacy group that is getting attention from the city for improvements. If Pinehurst wants to get some attention and funds, we need to build a similar structure. If anyone is interested, please speak up!

There are three funds within the program: Small Sparks Fund; Small and Simple Projects Fund; Large Projects Fund. More information about the Department of Neighborhoods funds is here.

Here are the District 5 Small and Simple Project Fund projects for this cycle:

$25,000 to Lake City Future First to organize a series of nine community conversations with dedicated local outreach to reach new and existing partners, especially under-represented voices. (Community match: $29,750)

$25,000 to Lake City Greenways Project to develop 60% construction drawings for a pocket park in the Olympic Hills neighborhood. (Community match: $15,713)

$25,000 to Friends of the Lake City Fred Meyer Garden Project to develop schematic design and construction drawings based on the conceptual design; and continue the work of fundraising, business outreach, artist engagement, and a robust public process. (Community match: $15,281)
