Neighborhood Grants
Funding local organizations that strengthen Central Hollywood.
What Are Neighborhood Purpose Grants?
Neighborhood Purpose Grants (NPGs) are funds provided by the City of Los Angeles to certified Neighborhood Councils like CHNC. We use these funds to support local nonprofits and community organizations that serve Central Hollywood residents.
Grants are awarded to organizations that align with CHNC's mission: improving quality of life, building community, and addressing local needs.
Who Can Apply?
Nonprofits, community organizations, and schools serving Central Hollywood residents. Projects must benefit the community and align with CHNC priorities.
