The City of Fishers recently awarded about $335,000 in new grants to 18 neighborhoods through the city’s Neighborhood Vibrancy Grant Program.

About $400,000 in grant funding was awarded earlier in the year to 28 neighborhoods. Applications are now closed for 2024 neighborhood grants.

“I am blown away by the response to our revamped Neighborhood Vibrancy Grant Program,” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness stated in a news release. “With a record high number of applicants in 2024, it’s evident that our residents and HOAs are dedicated to improving vibrancy and building community within their neighborhoods.”

The city increased funding for the Neighborhood Vibrancy Grant program from $100,000 to $750,000 in 2024 and lowered the financial match requirements for applicants from 50 percent to 20 percent.
