The City of Fishers is now accepting applications for its 2026 Neighborhood Vibrancy Grant Program, marking the 26th year of the community improvement initiative.

The program offers 80/20 matching grants of up to $25,000 for homeowners associations and neighborhood groups to fund projects that enhance neighborhood aesthetics, sustainability, and overall livability. The City has set aside $400,000 in its 2026 budget for the program.

Past grant-supported projects have included pollinator gardens, athletic court upgrades, landscaping enhancements, and ADA-accessible playgrounds and recreation spaces.

New for 2026, neighborhoods with a completed reserve study will receive priority consideration. Grant funds may also be used to help complete a reserve study as part of an overall project proposal.

“Over the past several years, we’ve stepped up our commitment to foster vibrancy within our neighborhoods, allocating almost $2 million to this initiative since 2023,” Mayor Scott Fadness said in a statement. “Our residents and HOAs have responded with a record number of project proposals, and it’s exciting to see how neighbors are working together to improve the quality of life in their community.”

Applications are open through January 23, 2026. Additional program details and application materials are available at this link..
