The City’s Neighborhood Support Program (NSP) provides annual funding to Community Councils for neighborhood projects and activities. The NSP proposal process is normally open annually beginning in the month of February through June.
Funding amounts are up to $10,000.00 per Community Council. The process is managed by the third party group, Invest in Neighborhoods. Invest in Neighborhoods empowers community councils and their resident members, volunteers, and related community organizations to contribute to civic life and advance the quality of life in Cincinnati’s neighborhoods, by increasing capacities and competencies, assisting with resources, and promoting civic engagement
A Community Council may apply for NSP funding for projects that would benefit the community. If you have an idea for a project that would help OTR, please submit a completed form ahead of the April 28th General Membership Meeting. Additional information about the application process and eligible program projects can be found here: https://www.investinneighborhoods.org/nsp-proposal-packet/ and here: https://www.investinneighborhoods.org/nsp-guidelines/
