Grant Programs

Since 2009, we have applied for and received a number of grants from the City of Sunnyvale. The Neighborhood Grant Program (NGP) is for free neighborhood events or projects that increase communication among neighbors, improve the physical condition of the neighborhood, or enhance neighborhood pride and identity. Below are the grant programs we have implemented in Cherryhill:
