The mural was designed and painted by a team of recent LCVI grads.

Matching Collaborative Grant

The matching collaborative grant will award up to $10,000 per project, contingent on the collaborating agencies providing a matching amount of funds to what has been requested in this application. For the purposes of this grant, matching must be completed in capital, not in-kind.

The focus of this grant is to encourage organizations to work together to increase their capacity and deepen their relationships to each other and their communities, together. Funds awarded through this grant may also be used to leverage further funds in other, larger, matching grants.
