CLOSED: Request for Proposals (RFP) - Community Enhancement Grant

The City of Raleigh Community Enhancement Grant (CEG) program awards funds annually through a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process. Nonprofits can apply for funds to provide innovative public services to low- and moderate-income Raleigh residents and neighborhoods. No grantee can be awarded funds for more than two consecutive years. As federal funds are used, agencies must demonstrate the capacity to meet federal documentation requirements if awarded a grant.

The City of Raleigh Community Enhancement Grant Request for Proposals (RFP) application window closed on Dec. 6, 2023. More information about the program can be found on the CEG landing page.

If you have questions or would like to access a useful application preparation tool, please contact Jacqueline Jordan at 919-996-6957. Emails should include “Community Enhancement Grant materials requested” in the subject line. The application process is an online process supported by Neighborly Software and is accessible via any internet-connected device.  The recommended browser is Google Chrome but will work with any modern web browser.
