Neighborhood SUCCESS Grants

The Raymond John Wean Foundation created the Neighborhood SUCCESS Grants Program to support grassroots groups in small community development projects that improve the quality of life in the neighborhoods of Warren and Youngstown, Ohio, particularly lower income neighborhoods and those at risk of destabilization.
Groups of residents as well as community, school and faith—based organizations are encouraged to apply. Grants of $500 to $5,000 are awarded to support the development and implementation of creative and impactful ideas.
Neighborhood SUCCESS projects will:

  • Expand resident participation and leadership.
  • Encourage communication and cooperation among residents, associations, and/or institutions.
  • Build on/leverage financial, human and material resources that exist in the community.
  • Contribute improvements to neighborhood quality of life.
