Grants
The Mueller Neighborhood Association (MNA) accepts grant applications on an ongoing basis for neighborhood events. The Steering Committee allocates funds each fiscal year to distribute as grants for various events and activities of our neighbors.
Past recipients include the Michael Adams Bike to Work station, the Stitch and B*tch Charity Projects, Mueller Community Singers, and the Boomer Chili Cookoff.
The Steering Committee meets once a month and will consider applications submitted two weeks before each meeting.
