The City of Cincinnati is providing an additional $25,000 in funding for the Safe and Clean Neighborhood Fund, through Keep Cincinnati Beautiful. As a result, the application deadline has been extended to Friday, June 16th at 11:59 p.m.

"Public safety is a top priority for this Administration. We are taking a comprehensive approach addressing violence in our neighborhoods and one aspect of that is funding our community partners," said City Manager Sheryl Long. "These are people who are out there every day doing the work that is vital to improving every corner of this City."

The purpose of the Safe and Clean Neighborhood Fund is to support and encourage community-based and community-initiated efforts to improve neighborhood safety, eliminate blight, and increase livability through local-level problem solving approaches and projects.

"Keep Cincinnati Beautiful is thrilled that the City has provided additional support for this Safe and Clean Round," says Jonathan Adee, Executive Director of Keep Cincinnati Beautiful. "The volume of applications and the creativity and spirit behind the applications over the past year demonstrate that Cincinnati's neighborhoods are working hard to deter gun violence and enhance resident safety."

Grant applications will be accepted from a wide variety of community groups and organizations including community councils, neighborhood business district organizations, Citizen on Patrol organizations, Community Problem-Oriented Policing (CPOP) teams and other recognized community organizations such as neighborhood improvement groups, block watch groups, etc. Collaboration between various groups and organizations is strongly encouraged. Funding is awarded for one-time project costs up to $10,000.
