Neighborhood Connections Success Stories
May 122010
This video features three Neighborhood Connections grantees who have worked to improve the quality of life in the City of Cleveland. The three grantees that are featured are: KNOWLEDGE Youth Organization (youth empowerment program) in the Union-Miles neighborhood; Joyful Noise Neighborhood Music School (arts education) in the Cudell neighborhood; and the East 128th Street Block Club Association (community building and beautification) from the Buckeye neighborhood. Neighborhood Connections is the small grants program of The Cleveland Foundation. Grassroots neighborhood groups located in Cleveland are eligible to apply for funding from between $500 and $5,000. Neighborhood Connections was created to enable community groups to improve the quality of life in Cleveland neighborhoods. The goals of the program are to stimulate the development of new projects designed by grassroots groups to address their most pressing concerns; encourage new and stronger relationships between grassroots organization and more established community-based organizations; and to develop leadership and organizational capacity.
