Summary
This grant opportunity offers funding to support community-focused planning efforts aimed at increasing and improving green spaces in urban neighborhoods. The funding is intended to help communities thoughtfully design future greening initiatives that reflect local needs, priorities, and long-term sustainability goals. Rather than focusing on construction, the grant emphasizes planning, collaboration, and engagement as essential steps toward equitable access to natural spaces.
Individual grants are expected to range from tens of thousands of dollars up to roughly $300,000, depending on the size, complexity, and scope of the proposed planning effort. Funds may be used to support activities such as community outreach, data collection, visioning sessions, environmental assessments, technical planning, and the development of actionable strategies for future green space projects.
Eligible applicants primarily include nonprofit organizations, community-based groups, and public entities that serve residents and can demonstrate experience working within their communities. While individuals and for-profit businesses are not typically eligible to apply independently, collaborative partnerships may be encouraged when they strengthen community participation and planning capacity. The grant is designed to support organizations that prioritize inclusive processes and resident-led decision making.
The opportunity is available to applicants working in select regions within Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Priority is often given to neighborhoods that face environmental challenges, limited access to green space, or historical underinvestment.
Overall, this grant seeks to help communities create clear, realistic plans that can guide future investments in parks, open spaces, and green infrastructure. By supporting early-stage planning, the funding aims to lay the groundwork for healthier neighborhoods, stronger community connections, and more resilient local environments over time.
If you are located in Pennsylvania and working in the area of Community Development & Services, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
