2008 Large Project Fund Award Recipients

Mayor Nickels and Councilmember Burgess with this year's awardees.

The Large Projects fund is one of four components of the Neighborhood Matching Fund, and provides awards up to $100,000 to support community driven projects that take up to one year to complete. The selection process is aided immensely by the time and efforts of the Citywide Review Team and the City Neighborhood Council, who devote hundreds of hours to interviewing applicants, reviewing proposals and selecting projects.

The Department of Neighborhoods would like to thank the following individuals for all of the effort they put in to evaluating, interviewing and selecting this year's Large Project Fund awards as part of the Citywide Review Team. Without their volunteer time, this would not have been possible.

Thank you!
