Community Initiated Project Grants (CIP Grants)
The Community Initiated Project grants builds upon ideas and dedication in the core of our Evangeline Corridor neighborhoods by providing funds to organizations for certain community based projects. Projects submitted through the grant program should be ones that contribute to place making, community pride, cultural history, or recreation. Grants through this program range from $1,000 to $5,000. Applications are accepted annually during the months of October – December (recipients announced in December). This program allows Evangeline Thruway Redevelopment Team to work alongside organizations large and small to help advance the Evangeline Corridor.
