Wachovia Regional Foundation Accepting Applications for Neighborhood Development Grants
Deadline: December 1, 2004

The Wachovia Regional Foundation, a private foundation that works to improve the quality of life for children and families living in low-income neighborhoods in New Jersey, Delaware, and eastern Pennsylvania, is currently accepting applications for its Neighborhood Development Grants program.

Neighborhood Development Grants support comprehensive community development projects that target specific neighborhoods. The community development project must be based on a current resident-driven neighborhood plan.

Grants vary in size from $100,000 to $750,000 and are disbursed over three to five years.

Potential grantees must have 501(c)(3) status and be located in an eligible foundation community. Prior to applying for a grant, a comprehensive strategic neighborhood plan, completed or updated within the past three years, must be in place for the proposed project’s target area.

See the Wachovia Regional Foundation Web site for complete program information, application procedures, and a list of eligible counties.
