Surprise neighborhood grant applications due Aug. 28
Surprise neighborhood organizations have until 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 28, to submit applications for the city’s 2026 Neighborhood Grant Program.
The City of Surprise identifies the program as an opportunity for Surprise neighborhoods and community projects. For groups considering a proposal, the immediate practical issue is the application deadline: the city lists Aug. 28 as the cutoff for the 2026 program.
The city directs both applications and questions about the program to Deb Perry. The available city notice was current as of Aug. 6.
Deadline applies to 2026 program
The deadline is Friday, Aug. 28, 2026, at 5 p.m. The notice describes an active application opportunity, rather than an announcement of grant awards.
That distinction matters for neighborhood groups planning a project. Submitting an application is a request for consideration through the city program; the available notice does not say that an applicant or a proposed project will receive funding.
The program’s stated focus is local: Surprise neighborhoods and community projects. The public notice therefore gives organizations with a neighborhood-based idea a defined city process and a specific date by which to act.
What the city has confirmed
The City of Surprise lists the program as the 2026 Neighborhood Grant Program and sets the 5 p.m. Aug. 28 application deadline. It also identifies Deb Perry as the city contact for submissions and questions.
Those are the key confirmed details available in the notice. They establish who is administering the opportunity, when applications are due and where prospective applicants should direct procedural questions.
For groups deciding whether they can meet the deadline, the city’s contact direction is particularly important. The notice does not provide separate public details that would allow applicants to determine every program requirement from the announcement alone.
Funding details are not listed in the notice
The available notice does not state the total amount of money available through the 2026 program. It also does not list a maximum award per applicant or say how many awards the city expects to make.
In addition, the notice does not identify projects that have already been funded or provide a final date for award decisions. It does not provide a detailed list of eligible project categories or applicants in the material available for this announcement.
As a result, the city’s posted information should not be read as a commitment to fund a particular proposal. It confirms an application period and deadline, but not a funding amount, award outcome or timetable for decisions.
What happens next
The next confirmed step for interested Surprise neighborhood organizations is to submit a 2026 Neighborhood Grant Program application by 5 p.m. on Aug. 28. Organizations with questions are directed to Deb Perry at the City of Surprise.
Groups seeking details not included in the notice—such as possible award amounts, project eligibility or the schedule for decisions—will need to use the city’s application materials and contact process. Until the city announces awards, the program remains an application opportunity for proposed neighborhood and community projects, not a list of funded projects.
