Neighborhood Grants

Neighborhood Grants encourage neighborhood outreach and engagement. Approved projects are eligible for up to $500 and include official neighborhood gatherings (such as those sponsored by a block, HOA, or non-profit), National Night Out events, neighborhood or community clean-up events, community educational programs. Approved events should not celebrate individual milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, etc. or provide any personal gain to an individual. Neighborhood Grants may be applied for all year to be used for an event within the same calendar year as long as there is funding still available. If funding does run out for the year, it will be noted on this page.

  • NOTE: Only one grant may be approved per event, so please coordinate with your neighbors and HOA when applying.
  • Alcohol and fireworks may not be purchased using grant funds.
  • Try to purchase products and services within the Littleton city limits when using grant funds.
  • Keep all receipts and invoices that pertain to your grant. Copies must be submitted with the follow-up report and excess funds returned.

Step 2.Apply for the Grant Online

Grant requests require a completed online application and a corresponding W-9 form. If you have previously applied for and have received a grant from the City of Littleton, your W-9 form is already on file and a new one is not required unless there is a change in your information. Please allow up to two weeks for processing once your application has been submitted. If awarded, grant monies will be mailed to the payee listed on the application (which matches the W-9 form) shortly after approval and before the event date.

Are You In The City Limits?

To check whether an individual address is in the Littleton city limits, use the Address Wizard.

Just because the mailing address says "Littleton" doesn't always mean the address is within the Littleton city limits. Check out the Littleton ZIP Codes to find out why.
