Newton Community Pride To Distribute 2022 Micro Grants

NEWTON, MA — Newton Community Pride (NCP) will open applications on March 1 for their first round of 2022 Community Micro Grants.

Grants must align with the mission of NCP to support arts and culture, service, and beautification in the Newton community. The organization is providing $10,000 toward this year’s micro grant commitment, which includes a spring and fall grant cycle.

"Newton Community Pride believes strongly in providing seed money to support greatideas, local events and service projects that enhance our villages and build community,”said NCP Executive Director Blair Sullivan in a statement. "To many artists, small nonprofits and neighborhood groups, a little bit of financial support goes a long way in building their mission to provide arts programming, service and beautification projects. NCP is happy to help."
