NOBLESVILLE, IN (March 30, 2026) – Applications for the City of Noblesville’s Neighborhood Match Grant are now open. The City of Noblesville’s Neighborhood Match Grant launched in 2025 and provides matching funds to Homeowners Associations (HOAs) and neighborhood groups to enhance, improve, and beautify our local communities. Eligible projects include recreation improvements, safety enhancements, and landscape sustainability initiatives.
How the Noblesville Neighborhood Match Grant Works
The Neighborhood Match Grant is a 1:1 matching grant with the city contributing 50% of eligible project costs up to $10,000 per project. The Noblesville Common Council appropriated funds for the Neighborhood Match Grant in the 2025 budget and continued to allocate funding for the grant in 2026.
All completed applications will be reviewed by a Neighborhood Match Grant Committee before being approved for funding. The committee may recommend a higher match ratio if the project is supplemented by corporate funding. Eligible applicants include HOAs and neighborhood groups located within Noblesville city limits.
“This round of grant funding is about building on the momentum created last year to continue to invest in neighborhoods and residents’ quality of life by supporting sustainable, safe, and accessible upgrades,” said Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen. “The city looks forward to continuing to collaborate with community members on projects that have a real and lasting impact. I’m grateful to the Noblesville Common Council for continuing to support this effort as well.”
Funding will be focused on projects involving design, construction, or installation, with priority given to those offering the greatest visibility and positive community impact. Projects located inside the public right-of-way are subject to additional review and approval. Examples of projects that could be funded include new trail connections, accessible playground enhancements, and the installation of community gardens. Projects funded through the 2025 Neighborhood Match Grant include installation of native trees and plants, playground improvements, lighting, benches, and more.
Apply for the Neighborhood Match Grant online. Applications will be accepted during the application window of March 30 to May 1, 2026. Grants will be awarded on May 18, 2026.
