Grants are discretionary and may be awarded or denied in the sole discretion of Keep Durham Beautiful. Among many factors that may be considered in awarding grants are the manner in which it a proposed project supports the mission of Keep Durham Beautiful, the size and scope of a proposed project, how it complements other projects or activities supported by Keep Durham Beautiful and its impact on our community. In addition, Keep Durham Beautiful may not have sufficient funding to support all worthwhile projects and may be forced to choose among competing projects. Keep Durham Beautiful reserves the right to refuse grants to any organizations or projects that do not, in the opinion of the Keep Durham Beautiful, support the values of the organization. All grants must be approved by Keep Durham Beautiful and will only be awarded if funds are available. Please email comments or suggestions about the grants program to comment@KeepDurhamBeautiful.org.
