Neighborhood Success
Neighborhood SUCCESS, a program of The Raymond John Wean Foundation was created to support grassroots groups in small community development projects that improve the quality of life in the neighborhoods of Warren and Youngstown, Ohio, particularly lower income neighborhoods and those at risk of destabilization.
Groups of residents, as well as community, school and faith--based organizations, are encouraged to apply. Grants of $500 to $5,000 are awarded to support the development and implementation of creative and impactful ideas.
Neighborhood SUCCESS is guided by Grant Making Committees made up of residents, which broadly represent the diversity of cultures, thoughts and ideas expressed in the community-at-large.
Neighborhood SUCCESS projects will:
- Expand meaningful resident participation and leadership.
- Encourage communication and cooperation among residents, associations and/or institutions.
- Build on/leverage financial, human and material resources that exist in the community.
- Improve neighborhoods - physically, socially and economically.
