Upper Arlington Launches Grant Program to Bolster Community Inclusion and Diversity

The City of Upper Arlington is officially accepting applications for its 2025 Community Relations Innovation Small Grant Program. This initiative aims to fund local projects that enhance inclusivity and understanding within the community. Those looking to boost their programs or events can now apply for grants ranging from $1,000 to $5,000.

The grants seek to quickly advance the Community Relations Committee’s goals by supporting diversity, fostering connections, or promoting a sense of belonging. According to the City of Upper Arlington program’s announcement, applicants must present projects that “increase knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of diversity” or “increase the sense of belonging and inclusion,” with a spotlight on non-majority and new residents to the area.

Previously awarded grants brought to life events like the Culture & Artisans Fair and the UA Civic Association’s Neighbors Night Out. These past initiatives exemplify the program’s mission to bridge gaps and foster a more welcoming environment. The submission deadline is December 13, with awardees to be revealed at the Community Relations Committee Meeting on January 23, 2025.

An informative session is set to guide interested parties on November 13. This virtual gathering will be an opportunity to learn directly from city officials and previous recipients. Organizations have been encouraged to apply and use the resources available swiftly to join the meeting, and details can be found on the City of Upper Arlington’s official website. Do not miss the Zoom meeting at noon for anyone contemplating an application, with the necessary login information readily provided in the original announcement.
