Did you know that even in this economy there is still money out there for community enhancement? Think about it. How much is it worth to you to live in a safe, fun, healthy, environment?
Seattle is one of many cities that offers neighborhood improvement grants. Trust me. I know. The community garden I belong to just got one--for $15,000. (that is three zeros...!). We are getting a certified, legal landscape design that will incorporate ideas and infrastructural plans to improve the quality of the garden. After we get this we will go on and apply for grants to do the things we have drawn up in our plans.....
This neighborhood grant will pull together community support by involving members of the neighborhood to come together and hash out what we want to see. Dreams are supposed to be big right? No use in dreaming small.
When people dream together they produce wonderful things...........not all of them physical. We produce an element of connectedness, a feeling of security, a sense of awe and hope. We become what we dream.
So get out there and DREAM BIG!
Google your city and 'grants'.

DREAM BIG! Ain't no use in dreaming small.
