From today’s email from the Richmond 300 (City Master Plan Update) team, which is looking for (and paying for) community engagement assistance:

The Dept. of Planning and Development Review (PDR) and the City Planning Commission need you to help us reach Richmonders and engage them in creating Richmond 300, the city-wide Master Plan. If you or someone you know is active in engaging communities that are typically not involved in planning efforts, please consider applying for a micro-grant of $5,000 to help us include even more Richmonders in the Richmond 300 process. In the fall 2018 engagement effort, PDR reached over 1,000 individuals, but PDR would like to reach even more Richmonders and a more diverse set of Richmonders in the next stage of the process, which will be in fall 2019. 

The application is due on July 1, 2019. Late applications will not be considered.
Please submit using one of the following methods:

• Online Application: complete the application online. Online applications are due by July 1, 2019 at 11:59 PM. Late applications will not be considered.
