Spruce Up the 'Berg Grants

Applications for the Foundation's 2025 Spruce Up the 'Berg grant program are now closed.  We plan to make grant announcements late-February 2025.

The Spruce Up the 'Berg community-wide beautification program was designed to encourage Muhlenberg Countians to make a difference in their own neighborhoods and downtowns by reimagining and breathing new life into public spaces. The Foundation has allotted $100,000 in funding for projects in its 2025 program year, and the local peer-review committee is currently reviewing applications totaling over $300,000.

Spruce up the 'Berg projects can be proposed and led by individuals or groups in Muhlenberg County, however they must partner with an organization who can receive the grant such as a 501(c)3 nonprofit, city, fiscal court, school, or church. Foundation staff can work with applicants to help them identify non-profit partners.
