United Parks As One empowers Newark-based groups to transform public spaces through grassroots funding. Our Small Grants Program provides up to $500 to support projects that promote environmental stewardship, park beautification, and inclusive green space development across the city.
Established in 2019, the United Parks As One Small Grants Program supports community-led events that bring Newark’s parks to life. Designed for volunteer groups with limited access to traditional funding, the program offers grants ranging from $200 to $500 to help cover costs for public events held in local parks. These gatherings are free and open to the public, encouraging neighborhood connection, environmental awareness, and civic pride.
Whether you’re a community organization, garden club, or park group, the Newark Small Grants Program is here to help you bring your vision to life. If your project strengthens neighborhood pride, promotes environmental awareness, or activates public space — you may be eligible for funding.
Across Newark, small grants have helped ignite big changes. From vibrant garden installations to youth-led clean-up events, these projects breathe life into public spaces and deepen community pride. Each initiative—though modest in funding—carries powerful impact, showing how local leadership and a shared vision can transform neighborhoods one park at a time.
Your donation helps fund grassroots projects that restore, enrich, and reimagine Newark’s parks.
With your support, United Parks As One can continue awarding small grants to volunteer groups committed to environmental justice, beautification, and public engagement.
Give today and help communities grow—one green space at a time.
