Everett is vibrant and diverse community and when we come together around a common goal, our community thrives! The Community Sparks program helps Everett residents foster a sense of community through small projects that will benefit the community and build connections among residents. Community Sparks funding is available to community groups for projects within Everett city limits. Up to $500 of eligible expenses for your project or event are reimbursable or can be funded with Community Sparks funds. All city funds must be matched with volunteer labor and/or monetary or in-kind donations. People of all ages and abilities are encouraged to apply.
