One Northside Crisis Mitigation Relief Grant

ABOUT ONE NORTHSIDE AND NEW SUN RISING
One Northside is a community-driven initiative to improve the quality of life in all 18 neighborhoods of the Northside. Since early 2014, hundreds of Northside residents have engaged with local leaders and stakeholders in community-wide conversations to create a shared agenda for the revitalization of this vital component of the greater Pittsburgh region.

Since 2016, through the support of The Buhl Foundation, New Sun Rising has led the Ignite Northside program to help 92 Northside residents and community members put their ideas into action and support the One Northside Consensus Plan’s focus on Quality of Education, Employment, Place, Health + Safety
2020 ONE NORTHSIDE Rapid Response
One Northside Mini-Grants

To support community members in their efforts to advance the One Northside vision during this time of crisis, the Action Team Crisis Mitigation will award up to $3,000 to support community projects working towards mitigating the COVID-19 crisis. Projects which demonstrate immediate need and are formed to help strengthen connections, increase accessibility to resources, and/or activate significant places in their community are strongly encouraged to apply. ONLY ONE APPLICATION PER ORGANIZATTION.

Approval

The Rapid Response Committee will consist of at least 3 members. Decisions will be made within 2 business days and will be paid out within 10 business days from application submission using bill.com. based on the amount left in the fund. The applications must state the crisis this is addressing. Recovery efforts and other purposes must go through the One Northside Minigrant process instead of the Rapid Response process.

DEADLINES AND HOW TO APPLY

All projects must end by August 1, 2020.

Only one up to $3,000 One Northside Rapid Response Grant per organization can be used.
