What were once blighted buildings and
weed-covered lots are now being transformed into tilled topsoil and fertilized
planters for fresh produce in Idora Neighborhood on the south side of Youngstown. Bulldozers
can be seen working at vacant sites all throughout the neighborhood, leveling
and preparing land for conversion to gardens and public green space.

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.
