The Neighborhood Enhancement Partnership Program (NEPP) is now accepting applications for projects that improve a neighborhood’s appearance, health or safety.
If you have an idea or project to improve the quality of life in your neighborhood, Fairfax County is now offering up to $5,000 in matching grants to make your community a better place to live.
The grants are available to neighborhood or civic groups, homeowner’s associations or nonprofit organizations. Applications are due by Monday, Oct. 31 at 2 p.m., and additional information about groups or projects eligible for funding can be found online.

In the past, communities have received money to repair or expand children’s playgrounds, put up community signs, plant community gardens, and build paths, bridges and outdoor pavilions to help connect neighbors and neighborhoods.
Because the NEPP is a matching grant program, organizations must contribute a matching amount of cash; in-kind donations; discounts on goods or services; and/or sweat equity.
