Mayor Bloomberg and Citizens Committee for New York City invite volunteer-led neighborhood groups to apply for a $1,000 cash award to transform the public spaces on their block.

Twelve groups from across the five boroughs will be selected as finalists, and each finalist will receive a $1,000 grant to beautify their block. The group that demonstrates the most impressive transformation will win an additional $3,000 to be used towards future block improvements.

Groups will also be supported by services from multiple city agencies including the Mayors Office and its Community Affairs Unit, and the Departments of Transportation, Sanitation, and Parks.
