Feet First Philly’s Public Space Enhancement Mini-Grant Program is back again for the seventh year. This grant program has funded 80 projects across Philadelphia since 2020, and all city residents and community groups are invited to apply. 

Feet First Philly is partnering again with the Philadelphia Department of Public Health to provide funding for projects to improve public spaces, particularly in underresourced communities. Mini-Grants between $500 and $2,500 will be awarded to address the financial and technical barriers that communities face when creating or improving public spaces. 

Funding can be used to support public space projects, including planning and design, construction and implementation materials, education, insurance, stipends, staff time, or other needs. Be creative and improve a public space that matters to your community.
