In response to these extraordinary times, USC is re-launching the $1.3 million Good Neighbors Grant Program to address the impact of Covid-19 in our local communities.
For over 25 years, Good Neighbors has been a cornerstone of USC’s community engagement with over $25 million invested to support local nonprofits and schools with essential educational, health, arts and economic development initiatives.
In response to the impact of Covid-19 on our communities, organizations practicing innovative ideas are invited to apply for a grant with a specific emphasis on partnerships that address: workforce development/training, mental health, services to unhoused individuals, and food access.
The grant period is one year, the average grant award is $25,000. Applications will be accepted online at: commongrantapplication.com
Grants support the provision of services within the communities adjacent to USC’s Health Sciences and University Park campuses. See service area maps and grant details at: goodneighbors.usc.edu
