MANSFIELD – North End residents, churches, community groups and non-profit organizations are invited to apply for up to $250 in NECIC Small Grant funds for projects or events that benefit the North End of Mansfield. The North End includes the area of Mansfield north of Park Avenue West, between Trimble Road and Main Street.
Recently, NECIC extended our target area to also include census tract 16. Census tract 16 is the region bordered by Poth Road on the north, State Route 39/Springmill Street and U.S. 30 on the south, North Trimble Road on the west and Bowman Street on the east. Individuals in this area are now also included in NECIC’s service area.
The program’s goal is to advance NECIC’s North End Community Economic Development Plan by connecting people, encouraging community involvement, and supporting volunteerism, while providing a public benefit to the North End community.

Funding for 2015 small grants provided by The Richland County Foundation.
Applications for a Spring 2015 Small Grant must be received by 4 pm on Wednesday, April 15 and are available at 199 N. Main St. or online at http://www.necic-ohio.org/#12. Call Kizzy Williams at (419) 525-3101 for more information
