Feet First Philly’s Public Space Enhancement Mini-Grant 2025-2026 Program – Apply by Oct 1
Posted by Feet First Philly on September 9, 2025
Feet First Philly is now accepting applications for its Public Space Enhancement Mini-Grant Program, which awards $500 to $2,000 for small, community-led projects that make neighborhoods safer and more walkable.
Now in its sixth round, the program has already funded more than 64 initiatives across Philadelphia, focusing on communities that have historically received less investment.
“We’re trying to fund projects in areas that have been disinvested by the government,” said Titania Markland, sustainable transportation program manager at the Clean Air Council, the nonprofit that awards the mini-grants. “Where is it that this money is really needed? Where will $2,000 bring the most impact?”
This funding is guided by questions posed by Feet First Philly, a pedestrian advocacy group within the Clean Air Council, Philadelphia’s oldest environmental nonprofit. “How can we improve the pedestrian environment? How can we have pedestrians’ voices heard and protected?” Markland said.
The answers rest with community members, and Feet First Philly is listening.
