Neighborhood Matching Grants

The Neighborhood Matching Grant (NMG) Program is a program for neighborhood-based organizations to help them improve the quality of life in their communities. 

​About the NMG Program

The Neighborhood Matching Grants Program has helped Charlotte residents improve their neighborhoods since 1992.  The program awards funds to eligible neighborhood-based organizations for projects that make neighborhoods better places to live, work, and play.​

Special COVID-19 Message   

• We need community more than ever, even though we can't come together in the same ways as we practice "social distancing". In recognition of unique challenges in an unprecedented time, we have made accommodations to NMG: 

Volunteer Opportunities and Tracking 

• We invite current NMG grantees to amend approved volunteer activities to what's included in "NMG Volunteer Hours Alternatives (While Social Distancing)." 
• The "Volunteer Hours Tracking Sheet (No Physical Signatures)" form will allow you to document volunteer hours without collecting physical signatures. This form can be turned in as a substitute for the standard Volunteer Sign-In Sheet.
