BWB GRANT PROGRAM VISION

Through BWB’s grant program,  we are committed to jump-starting creative, civic projects that both grow community and make a positive impact. We know that real change starts at the grassroots level and healthy communities emerge from citizens participating in actively creating the kinds of communities they want to live in. BWB prides itself on accomplishing a lot with very little money by engaging the power of community and innovative problem solving to make a difference.

GRANT GUIDELINES

BWB hasn’t gotten where we are  today by creating a lot of restrictive rules. BWB is about giving ourselves permission to evoke the wildest parts of our imaginations to tackle issues we care about. Really, the sky is the limit.  You are encouraged to collaborate with members of your community and dream big! What do you care about? How can your community creatively address a particular issue to make a positive impact? What elements can you invite in that will make it engaging and fun?

If you are looking for inspiration to create your own  project, check out the 2014 award winners to get an idea of the types of project we fund.

WHAT WE DON’T FUND: Paying Salaries or Stipends, Art Projects that do not have a community, civic engagement component.
