Neighborhood Grants

Step 1.Understand the Rules

• 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 within the grant year.
• Grants must be applied for at least three (3) weeks in advance of events. Reimbursements are not permitted.
• If your event requires blockades or cones to mark the closure of any public street or alley for your event you must contact the traffic division at least one week prior to your event/project at 303-795-3834 to make arrangements.
• Amplified sound occurs whenever microphones and speakers are used to amplify voices, music, etc. If your event includes outdoor amplified sound, you must contact the Permit Center at least one week prior to your event at 303-795-3751 to apply for an Amplified Sound Permit ($75).

• All events must comply with Colorado state, county, or local public health orders in effect at the time of the event.

Step 2.Apply for the Grant Online

Grant requests require a completed online application for an event at least three (3) weeks out from application date and a corresponding W-9 form (NEW: W-9 no longer required for individuals). 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 (2) 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) in the month prior to the event date. Grants are awarded on a first come, first served basis, dependent on available funding for the calendar year.

Neighborhood Grant Application Form 

All new grant applications must be submitted with a completed and signed W-9 form(PDF, 95KB)  (NEW: W-9 no longer required for individuals using SSN, only those organizations with EIN)

Step 3.Post-Event Reporting (Receipts and Post-Event Form)

Keep all receipts for expenses involving this grant and e-mail them to the grant coordinator at dciernia@littletonco.gov within three weeks of your event along with a completed Post Event Report Form (template may be downloaded on this page). E-mail is preferred, but receipts and Post Event Report may also be dropped off in an envelope at the Littleton Center reception desk c/o Denise Ciernia, Neighborhood Grant.

Please note that any unused funds in excess of $20 must be returned within three weeks of the event date. Return of funds may be made via cash or check only; payable to City of Littleton.  Mail unused funds to Finance Department or deposit in the Littleton Center drop box, c/o Neighborhood Grant, City of Littleton, 2255 W Berry Avenue, Littleton, CO 80120 and include a copy of your Post Event Report. 

Failure to send post-event reporting and return of excess funds by end of grant year may result in denial of future grant applications.
