During the first year the program funded 7 projects and has continued to grow ever since. Now in its fifth year, the mini-grant program has worked with communities across Philadelphia to support 53 amazing projects that improve walkability at a local level. Feet First Philly seeks projects that improve walkability by making neighborhoods safer and easier to walk and roll in. The program has supported many different types of projects over the past few years, based on the belief that residents know their community best and are the best advocates to identify and carry out public space improvements.  Funding Information Mini-grants between $500 and $2000 will be awarded to address the financial and technical barriers that organizations face when creating or improving safe public spaces. Eligibility Criteria  Organizations, businesses, and individuals are welcome to apply. Location of the public space enhancement must be located on public property or be open for the public to use. Enhancements cannot be used for financial gain by charging for use or demanding a purchase. Proposals that include public space permits are required to hold insurance as stated by the City of Philadelphia. (Grant funds may be used to pay for additional insurance needed.)
