Summary
This grant opportunity provides short-term funding to support innovative, community-based projects that seek to enhance livability, accessibility, and engagement in towns and cities across the United States.

Funding is directed toward initiatives that can be implemented quickly and demonstrate tangible, visible results in a short timeframe.
Eligible applicants typically include nonprofit organizations and local government entities. In some cases, small businesses and community groups may also qualify. Projects should prioritize making communities more walkable, support economic development, encourage civic participation, or enhance the quality of life for people of all ages. Successful proposals often address urgent community needs, introduce replicable models, or fill gaps where traditional funding is not readily available.

The grants are awarded on an annual basis, with a focus on projects that can be completed within a matter of months. While not intended to serve as long-term or capital funding, the opportunity serves as a catalyst for broader community change and sustainable improvements.
