Neighborhood Initiatives and
Community Partners Grant Program

​

The Downtown Neighborhood Association of Savannah (DNA) is now accepting proposals for the 2025 Neighborhood Initiatives and Community Partners Grant Program.  

​

The deadline for submission is March 1, 2025 at midnight.

Community organizations seeking funds are asked to select one of the following categories as the primary basis for the proposal:

​

• Beautification/Preservation in the Historic District
• Arts and Cultural Life
• Youth Development
• Humanitarian Causes

​

The funds for the grants were raised through the DNA’s Holiday Tour of Homes and Inns held in December 2024. Members and supporters of the DNA open their homes and inns for visitors to tour and learn about architecture, home décor, and the history and culture of the South. The tour is operated by the DNA community along with other volunteers.

​

Using the funds generated by the tour, the DNA bestows grants to community organizations that have an impact on the greater downtown area, particularly those that help or enrich the residential quality of life. Each application goes through a review process overseen by the DNA Board of Directors which makes the selections. Grants will be distributed in May 2025.
