The myPG grant helps local organizations develop and implement innovative activities, projects, and events. Eligible activities can be large or small, and activities or projects and should be accessible to residents of all backgrounds, ethnicities, and income levels.
The applications will be evaluated based on increasing community pride, encouraging a safe community, providing social connections for citizens, encouraging physical activity, providing opportunities for involvement in arts and culture and ensuring equity and inclusion.
