The City of Arlington is pleased to announce another Neighborhood Matching Grant call for projects. The 2026 program, funded with gas well revenue since 2007, will fund improvement projects that beautify and enhance public spaces and strengthen neighborhoods throughout The American Dream City.

Any neighborhood group with an IRS EIN and bank account can apply for a grant up to $10,000 and any neighborhood registered as an HOA or nonprofit with the State of Texas can apply for a grant up to $25,000 for an eligible project. Examples of eligible projects include landscaping, neighborhood signage, sign toppers, public art, park improvements and streetscape enhancements.

Applications for this grant program open Wednesday, August 6 and are due by Monday, November 3, 2025. For a project to be considered, it must be submitted by neighbors, serve a public purpose, have a detailed budget and timeline, and meet all City codes. Each neighborhood must also contribute a 20% grant match towards the project, including a 10% cash match. In some cases, the cash match may be waived.
