On August 4th, the 31st Annual Night Out takes place, and the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods has funds available to support small community events.
The Small Sparks Fund provides matching dollars for neighborhood-initiated projects that promote community engagement. Up to $1,000 is available to help fund Night Out planning and activities, such as outreach efforts, educational fairs, bike parades, and a neighborhood clean-up. Night Out is a national crime prevention event designed to increase neighborhood involvement in anti-crime efforts and to unite communities.
