2025 Empowering Community Safety Micro-Grant Cycle Six
The City of Fayetteville is offering micro-grants to community-based organizations to fund, inspire, and enhance crime reduction activities aimed at preventing crime and violence in Fayetteville. Operating over a six-month period, this "low barrier" program provides both grant opportunities and capacity-building training for local groups and non-profits to strengthen their crime reduction efforts and build the local non-profit sector (YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A NON-PROFIT TO APPLY). Community members, regardless of non-profit status, are eligible to apply, though for-profit enterprises will not be considered. The program focuses on increasing the impact of grassroots organizations, enhancing the non-profit sector, and supporting its growth, while holding grantees accountable for their budgets, actions, and measurable outcomes.
