2018 SNIA Helping Hands Grants

In keeping with Shaw Neighborhood Improvement Association’s (SNIA) mission to “improve and

maintain the quality of life of all Shaw residents,” we offer the Shaw Helping Hands Grant

program to assist those who share that vision and are taking an active part in making it a reality.

We thank you for your commitment to making Shaw a strong and vibrant neighborhood and your

willingness to work hands-on toward that goal.

 

Specifically, SNIA invites proposals to benefit the quality of life of Shaw residents. Past recipients

of the grant have addressed artistic, educational, environmental, youth, and social needs in the

neighborhood. Depending on requests, we anticipate funding five proposals.
