Awarding Neighborhood Network Collaborative Grants
Collaboration Project exists to gather Christ-followers to deepen awareness of our local context and discern faithful action for the good of our neighbors. One way we pursue this mission is through Neighborhood Network Collaborative Grants, which support collaborative experiments that strengthen communities across Dane County.
This year, Collaboration Project awarded three grants of $750 to participants in its Neighborhood Networks to launch projects designed to serve and bless their neighborhoods. Through these grants, Collaboration Project seeks to encourage Christians from different congregations and organizations to work together in creative ways for the flourishing of their neighborhoods.
