NAPERVILLE, Ill. ~ Naperville, Illinois - The City of Naperville has announced that they will be accepting applications for four grant programs to fund projects in 2027.

The CDBG provides funding for housing, community development, and infrastructure projects. The SECA grant supports cultural and artistic initiatives, while the SSG aids organizations providing essential social services to residents. The Opioid Remediation grant supports efforts to combat the ongoing opioid crisis.
Community Grants Manager Miranda Barfuss expressed excitement about the opportunity for organizations to bring meaningful projects to life.
