INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your interest in the Community Beautification Grant (CB Grant) program. CB Grant is a competitive annual matching grant awarded to community groups to fund neighborhood beautification projects. CB Grant is a program of the City of Los Angeles, Board of Public Works, Office of Community Beautification (OCB).

CB Grant is funded through the City of Los Angeles' budget. On average, the grant program is allocated $845,000 to award approximately 90 grants annually of up to $10,000. OCB has received about 200 grant applications per year, thus applicants have had a 45% overall chance of receiving a grant.

CB Grant was created in 1998 in the City of Los Angeles under the name Neighborhood Matching Fund as a way for community members to shape their neighborhoods (the name changed to CB Grant in 2005). In partnership with hundreds of neighborhood groups, the CB Grant program has completed over 1032 community-based projects and helped spark many of the revitalization efforts happening citywide.

OCB was able to fund 45 projects for the 2009-10 CB Grant cycle. Click here for a list of the Awardees and their projects.
