Strong neighborhoods start with strong connections.

The West North Avenue Development Authority (WNADA) is proud to launch the Community Connection Grant Program—designed to support neighborhood associations and community groups across the West North Avenue corridor.

This grant provides funding for community-led events, outreach, and activities that bring neighbors together, activate public spaces, and strengthen the fabric of our communities.

From block parties and cultural events to neighborhood newsletters and green-space activations, this program is about investing in people, connection, and community pride.

As outlined in the program’s legislative foundation, these grants are designed to increase social connectivity, support neighborhood-led initiatives, and remove barriers to funding access for local groups.
