Mardi Gras Foundation 2006 RFP
Each year, the Foundation devotes a portion of the Mayor's Mardi Gras Ball proceeds to supporting projects within the greater Soulard and downtown communities. The community grants from the 2005 celebration were as follows:
- The Soulard Restoration Group -- $5,000 in seed money for a neighborhood wide trash pick-up initiative
- The Soulard Business Association -- $5,000 to provide permanent electrical power in Soulard Market Park for events throughout the year
- The Soulard School -- $5,000 to fund improvements on the grounds of this new neighborhood institution
- The Frenchtown Dog Park -- $5,000 to complete and open Soulard's only dog park, which has been many years in the making
The Foundation looks for projects that will have a substantial impact on the community. Where possible, the Foundation wants to either leverage additional funds through its grants, or provide funding necessary to complete a project.
