The Community Engagement Team is now accepting applications for outreach and engagement grants. The Community Engagement Team is made up of Nexus Community Partners, Minnesota Center for Neighborhood Organizing, and the Alliance for Metropolitan Stability. Team members were chosen by the Corridors of Opportunity Policy Board because of the unique roles each plays in the Twin Cities region.

This funding does not replace existing efforts, but is intended to supplement them with increased community capacity. We estimate that we will make 8 – 10 grants of an average of $30,000 in this first round of grant funding. Community organization(s) applying for an Outreach and Engagement Grant must include a resident driven organization or initiative serving a geographic or cultural community and, be a registered 501(c)(3) or have a partnering 501(c)(3) fiscal agent, and target transit corridor related development opportunities.
