City of Clinton — The City of Clinton Council has launched a new program designed to enhance community engagement and expand educational opportunities through grant funding. Local organizations are invited to apply for grants of up to $1,000 for initiatives aimed at education, outreach, and community impact.
The application window for these grants is open until May 27, 2025, and with a budget of $10,000 available for disbursement, competition is expected to be strong. Will Riley, the Assistant City Manager of Personnel, has noted that there is an increase in the number of applications compared to last year.
The selection process will take place shortly after the application deadline, with a week dedicated to reviewing submissions to assess their suitability based on established criteria. Applications will be evaluated on a first-come, first-serve basis, with preference given to proposals that demonstrate a clear alignment with community-focused objectives.
Organizations are encouraged to submit applications for a wide range of potential initiatives. Acceptable programs may include tutoring services, community events, health assistance programs, food distribution efforts, or other initiatives designed to benefit residents of Clinton. For example, a previous grant supported the National Veterans Agriculture Association, which used the funding to provide fresh vegetables and healthy meals to veterans in need.
