Good things happen when neighbors get together. 

So, Norwood Together wants to help you — yes, you! — throw a party. Thanks to the generosity of Tim and Vicki Garry, the Norwood Together Block Party Mini-Grant program will offer informational and financial support to Norwood residents who organize a block party with their neighbors. 

How will we help you throw a party?  
Block Party Mini-Grants will be cash awards of up to $200 that can be used for food, non-alcoholic drinks, entertainment, marketing, or other party needs. Grantees also will have access to community experts who can help them as they organize their neighborhood’s block party. 

Who can apply?Any Norwood resident can apply for a Block Party Mini-Grant. Grants will be awarded on an equal basis across all four wards of Norwood.  An approximate itemized budgets and a copy of the invitation will need to be submitted before receiving funds. Photos of your party and copies of receipts for items purchased will need to be emailed to Norwood Together after the event.
