The City of Auburn offers Community Matching Grants which are available to all communities (defined as a group of 3 or more people) within the city limits of Auburn. The City will consider proposals relative to the benefits it generates for a targeted area and its compliance with City policies and guidelines.

The project must be non-profit in nature and must adhere to municipal, state, and federal regulatory compliance standards (i.e. standards for playgrounds, building codes).
