The Camden Strong – Clean Communities Mini-Grant Program is supported through the New Jersey Clean Communities program, which funds municipalities and counties statewide to implement litter abatement programs that incorporate the elements of cleanup, enforcement and education.  The mini-grant program builds upon Mayor Carstarphen’s widely popular Camden Strong-Clean Camden Campaign. Through the Department of Public Works, the city will offer $500.00 mini-grants to Camden non-profits, organizations, and community-based groups who improve the quality of life citywide by cleaning neighborhoods and public spaces.  This expansion of the Camden Strong–Clean Camden Campaign, will help reduce litter, beautify public spaces, and prevent stormwater pollution, while providing funding to community groups for their participation and efforts. Necessary cleanup supplies, including tools, gloves, and bags, will also be provided upon request.
