Neighborhood Small Grants are BACK! For your neighborhood to be eligible to apply for the Neighborhood Small Grants Program (NSGP) 2027 funding, neighborhood groups need to send a representative to one of the following mandatory grant workshops:
 

This representative needs to be the grant contact for the year.  To register for a workshop or for more information, please contact Debbie Sharp at [email protected]. Mark your calendars now. 

The NSGP strengthens neighborhoods in the City of Knoxville by supporting a wide range of community-based initiatives through grants and technical assistance. Funding is available to be awarded in early 2027 for projects carried out in the 2027 calendar year.  

Awards to support one-year projects can range from $500 to $5,000 or $6,500 if partnering with another neighborhood, public school, umbrella neighborhood group, or non-profit. To be awarded $6,500, the applicant must have previously participated in the NSGP and turned in all required paperwork/documentation on time. 

The City of Knoxville ensures meaningful access to City programs, services, and activities to comply with Civil Rights Title VI and ADA Title II laws and reasonably provides translation, interpretation, modifications, accommodations, alternative formats, auxiliary aids and services.   

To request language translation services, contact the Human Resources Department at [email protected] or 865-215-3100. For disability accommodations, contact the Human Resources Department at [email protected] or 865-215-3100 at least 72 hours prior to the event.
