To help New Yorkers—especially those in low-income areas—come together and improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods.
The Community Leader (All In Neighborhood) Grants program offered by CitizensNYC supports resident-led groups with micro-grants up to $5,000. The grants are intended for community building projects that residents identify as important to them. The focus is on fostering projects that enhance neighborhood life, strengthen local leadership, and expand community partnerships. These efforts particularly target grassroots leaders in low-income communities, aiming to encourage civic engagement, neighborhood wealth, and community health.
