The City of Noblesville has announced the launch of its Neighborhood Match Grant, which will provide matching funds to homeowners associations and neighborhood groups that enhance, improve, and beautify local communities.
Eligible projects include recreation improvements, safety enhancements, and landscape sustainability initiatives.
The Neighborhood Match Grant is a one-to-one matching grant with the city contributing 50 percent of eligible project costs up to $10,000 per project. The Noblesville Common Council appropriated funds for the Neighborhood Match Grant in the 2025 budget and continued to allocate funding for the grant in 2026.
All completed applications will be reviewed by a Neighborhood Match Grant Committee before being approved for funding. The committee may recommend a higher match ratio if the project is supplemented by corporate funding. Eligible applicants include Homeowners Associations (HOAs) and neighborhood groups located within Noblesville city limits.

“This grant is about investing directly in our neighborhoods to make our community a better place to live, work, play, and stay,” Mayor Chris Jensen said. “The creation of this matching grant reflects Noblesville’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, safety, and accessibility. I look forward to the collaboration with community members to invest in meaningful projects that will have lasting benefits to the betterment of Noblesville.”
Funding will be focused on projects involving design, construction, or installation, with priority given to those offering the greatest visibility and positive community impact. Projects located inside the public right-of-way are subject to additional review and approval. Examples of projects that could be funded include new trail connections, accessible playground enhancements, and installation of community gardens.
Applications can be completed and submitted online. Applications will be accepted until Nov. 12. Grants will be awarded on Dec. 1, 2025, with project work for awarded grants anticipated in early 2026.
