Thanks for your interest in applying for funding from the ONE Good Deed Fund. We offer two different ongoing grants – Good Deed Grants and Neighborhood Project Grants. We also fund a few larger special projects a year, so if you have an idea that you’d like to discuss, please contact us.
Good Deed Grants:
These grants provide funding up to $250 for individuals who would like to do a good deed for another individual who lives in the Old North End and needs help covering the cost of services or supplies. Please note before starting:

- all good deeds must be completed within a year of notification of funding;
- the maximum grant amount is $250;
