Better Block Mini-Grants
This grant program helps strengthen our northside neighborhoods through resident-powered improvement projects. Neighborhood residents within the City of Bethlehem's Northside are eligible to apply for mini-grants that support community engagement events and build neighborhood pride.
Northside Alive has supplies available for the community. If your block is interested in hosting a community clean up, reach out to schedule your event and receive access to our community clean up kit!
This is a great opportunity for local businesses, clubs and scouts to give back to their community and earn any required community service hours.
Items Available:
-
trash bags
-
high visibility vests
-
trash pickers
-
brooms and dust pans. ​​

Northside Alive has a limited amount of funding available to support neighborhood organized block parties. Block parties are a great way to celebrate your neighborhood, share resources, get to know your neighbors and build a stronger community.
Northside Alive is able to cover permit fees (maximum of $250.00) for neighborhood block parties. [application permits, food truck permits, tent permits, etc]
Application Deadlines
