Through the support of the Lilly Endowment’s Strengthening Indianapolis Through Arts and Cultural Innovation grant, the Indianapolis Neighborhood Resource Center (INRC) will provide an opportunity for 30 Indianapolis neighborhoods to receive additional training, one-on-one coaching, project consultation, and monetary support to implement a neighborhood-developed and neighborhood-implemented creative placemaking project.

Each group will enter into a three-year program with INRC and the Harrison Center. INRC will work with each group to develop success measures specific to their placemaking project, including items like, but not limited to: an increase in engagement; social connections; neighborhood identity; diversity; partnerships; and leveraged investment. INRC will provide technical assistance, including training, support, and capacity-building for neighborhood-based organizations and grassroots leaders as they develop and implement their plans.

Funding available:  $5,000
