These grants provide funding up to $100 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:

- recipients of good deeds should be individuals, and not programs or organizations;
- priority is given to good deeds done for someone within a neighborhood that form or strengthen connections;
- the applicant can not be the same person as the recipient of the good deed;
- all good deeds must be completed within a year of notification of funding;
- the maximum grant amount is $100;
