The Dallas Neighborhood Vitality Grant Program (DNVG) was created to encourage neighborhood organizations to identify
and implement projects that address specific neighborhood needs while
increasing resident engagement, promoting neighborhood pride, and building
neighborhood organization capacity through collaborations and partnerships.
Projects must serve a public purpose and provide community benefits by
promoting the creation of strong, safe, and vibrant neighborhoods. The
Dallas Neighborhood Vitality Grant is a refresh of the growSouth Neighborhood Challenge
Grant.
