The Energize Your Neighborhood Project Funds provide grants for resident-driven projects aimed at improving Missoula’s neighborhoods through civic engagement, community building, and neighborhood enhancements. Supported projects should create physical improvements, foster community planning, or involve residents in visioning activities, all with a focus on benefiting local neighborhoods within Missoula city limits.

For Fiscal Year 2025, the Missoula City Council has allocated a total of $20,000 for the Neighborhood Project Funds (NPF), with individual grants available up to $6,000. Projects must offer long-lasting benefits to city residents. This year, only improvement grants are available, as small grants are no longer offered.

Key dates for the application process include a pre-application discussion deadline on November 20, 2024, at 5:00 PM, and a final submission deadline for applications, budgets, and schedules on November 27, 2024, at 5:00 PM. An application workshop was held on October 7, with a recording available for further guidance.
