The funds are invested in housing, homeless assistance and community development programs that serve low to moderate income residents.   

Registration is NOT required to participate. Interpretation for the hearings is offered in Spanish, Mandarin and Cantonese. To arrange for interpretation in other languages, including ASL, email mohcomments@boston.gov or call 617-635-3880 at least seven (7) days prior to the hearing date. Every effort will be made to accommodate your request.

The purpose of Hearing #1 is to comment on the needs and priorities in Boston for the funds.

GrowBoston anticipates making awards of up to $150,000 to 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations for projects which increase access for low- and moderate-income residents to local food growing opportunities and green space through capital improvements to community gardens and other open spaces which directly serve neighborhood residents.

GrowBoston will host two virtual applicant conferences to answer any questions you may have about this RFP. Potential RFP applicants are strongly encouraged to attend one of the virtual meetings. Both meetings will contain the same content.

If you are unable to attend an applicant conference, formal questions may be submitted by email to Theresa Strachila, Program Manager, at theresa.strachila@boston.gov.

Responses to questions received during the applicant conferences and via email will be distributed to all parties who have downloaded the RFP.
