Ideal Applicant
A project-focused nonprofit or local affiliate working on neighborhood revitalization or community development with capacity to manage mid-sized program grants and to partner on in-kind or volunteer support through Republic Services’ National Neighborhood Promise.
Good Fit
- • Project is explicitly a neighborhood revitalization or community improvement effort.
- • Request aligns with the National Neighborhood Promise program or similar place-based projects.
- • Capacity to manage grants in the $100k–$250k range (or to scale to corporate partnership activities).

Geography
Observed grants in the latest year were distributed across 15 states, with about 91% of dollars going out of the foundation's home state, indicating a national multi-state footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 26 distinct grantees (26 grants) and a very high new-recipient rate, so the observed recipient set is broad and not limited to a small closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence from filings shows 24 new grantees in the latest year and a published online community grant application portal, so unfamiliar organizations appear to have a realistic pathway to be funded.
