As part of our efforts to achieve our mission to support community resources through connectivity and collaboration, while promoting communication through neighborhood grants, the leaders of East Downtown Indianapolis Neighborhoods (EDIN) are proud to announce three grant opportunities for 2019: Communication, Image, and Video.
To be eligible for any of the EDIN grants organizations must fulfill the following criteria:
EDIN Neighborhood Communication Grant:
The Neighborhood Communication grant provides neighborhoods with funds to produce a neighborhood newsletter, either electronically or on paper. For paper newsletters, the funds can be used for printing, address lists, postage, newsletter supplies, etc. For an e-newsletter, the funds can be used to buy email software such as Constant Contact and other materials as needed. Maximum grant request: $1,000
EDIN Neighborhood Image Grant:
The Neighborhood Image grant provides neighborhoods with funds to help create, improve, or expand the overall image of their neighborhood. This is the grant with the most creative options for the neighborhood. Funds can be used to create a website, kick start a neighborhood event, develop a logo, create neighborhood signs, add public art, etc. Projects are only limited to your creativity for promoting your neighborhood’s image. Maximum grant request: $1,000
EDIN Neighborhood Video Grant:
The Neighborhood Video grant provides neighborhoods with a video producer who will create a video telling the story of the neighborhood through first person interviews, historic images, and stunning, cinematic shots of the neighborhood. This is an opportunity for neighborhoods to let the world know who they are and what they offer. There is no money given directly to the neighborhood, as EDIN will provide funds to the video producer directly.

- Be a registered neighborhood organization
- Fall within the EDIN boundaries of:
North: 30th Street
South: Prospect
