What is "Our Community Investment Club?"

It is no secret. The pending city-wide budget cuts will have a major impact on our neighborhoods and community programs and services.
With a proposed 18% cut in city funding, the Neighborhoods Small Grants Program will be discontinued! This program has offered direct funding for volunteer-driven community projects such as: gardens, helping seniors, tutoring, tree planting, community dialogues, etc.

In response, the Northeast Coalition is launching a new Community-Building Fund dedicated to continuing the Neighborhoods Small Grants Program and funding additional community impact programs.
