The Community Challenge Grant Program aims to enhance neighborhoods through financial support. It offers funds ranging from $15,000 to $175,000 for projects with a duration of 12 to 18 months. Applicants are required to contribute 35% of the project budget as a matching fund. This program operates on a reimbursement basis, meaning expenses must be initially covered by the recipients, who then submit invoices and receipts for repayment. Approval and payment of these invoices may take up to 30 days after they are received and approved by the CCG.
