Wheat Ridge 2020 - Advancing Wheat Ridge as a vibrant and sustainable community

Resident Grants for Neighborhood Activities

WR2020 offers several Neighborhood Activity grants for residents of Wheat Ridge.  Get to know your neighbors and help tidy up your neighborhood with the help of the Wheat Ridge 2020 Dumpster Days grant program.  Dumpster Days is your chance to get your neighbors to work together and fill a dumpster with all of the accumulated items on your property and in the neighborhood.  WR2020 will provide a dumpster for one weekend with approved applications. 
 
The Neighborhood Block Party Grant program is another program to help neighbors get to know one another and to strengthen Wheat Ridge neighborhoods.  Accepted applicants will be notified and will be reimbursed for up to $150 of the costs related to the block party.  Alcoholic beverages are not reimbursable and receipts for all requested reimbursements must be provided. 
 
Visit the Wheat Ridge 2020 website for additional information and to download an application for either of these grant programs.
