The South Rome Community Grants support organizations and community groups dedicated to making South Rome a thriving, connected, and opportunity-filled community. Funded by the South Rome Alliance (SRA), these grants fuel projects that enhance education, community belonging, and overall quality of life for South Rome residents.
Since 2002, SRA has been driving positive change in South Rome through affordable housing, educational programs, and strategic community investments. With over 150 rental units developed, an award-winning early learning center, and millions in public and private funding secured, SRA continues to build a stronger, more vibrant South Rome.
The 2026 application will be open March 2-31. Grant recipients will be contacted in late April and awards will be made in early May.
