Block Party Grants

Build community in your neighborhood; have a block party!

A total of 15 grants are available for FY26. Each grant is for a $100 Giant Gift Card.
Only 1 block party grant is allowed on a street per year (except for very long streets, at the Manager’s discretion).
Everyone on the street must be invited to the party, and a copy of the invitation must accompany the application form.
We must have a completed form and invitation before issuing a gift card.
The party sponsor must drop off the completed form (with attached invitation) at The Hawthorn Center, Monday through Thursday, 9:30am – 5:00pm or Friday, 9:30am – 3:30pm. The party sponsor must sign to indicate receipt of the gift card.
