Do you have ideas for park events and programming? Now is your chance to bring them to life!
Inspired by the ideas and creativity of our residents and visitors, the Hamtramck Parks Conservancy (HPC) has launched a Parks Programming/Event Stipend. Individuals or groups of any kind, 18-years of age or older may apply for up to $1,000 to run an outdoor, public event at a Hamtramck City park. Applicants younger than 18-years old may still apply with a sponsor.
The HPC hopes that the creation of this stipend will not only defray costs associated with executing a community event, but also maximize the potential bring new creative programming/event concepts to Hamtramck City Parks.
Evaluation/Awarding:
Demonstrated connection to Hamtramck parks
Preference given to Hamtramck Residents
Preference for events that address local issues, needs, interests, cultures and values
Preference for events that promote community cohesion, learning, and play
Preference for events that are not represented elsewhere (ie. occur at other locations throughout Hamtramck)
Requirements/Limitations:
- Applicants may be individuals or groups of any kind (not limited to incorporated groups or nonprofits. Applicants younger than 18 years old should have a sponsor older than 18 years old (ie. teacher, parent, HPC staff, etc.).
- Programming or events should be open to the public and may be a one-time or recurring event. In the case of a recurrent event or series, the stipend amount is capped at $1,000, but may be used to subsidize costs. Programming or events may teach about religion, but should not promote religion. The stipend will not cover private events or parties (ie. birthdays, bat mitzvahs, baby showers, etc.).
- Funds can be used toward the cost of producing an event. See Required Proposal for description of budget submission.
