“The impact of the Community Impact Grant extends far beyond the initial funding. Each award represents an opportunity to leverage partnerships, amplify grassroots leadership, and create lasting change at the neighborhood level,” said Perry Paylor, Executive Director of the Redevelopment Authority of Prince George’s County. “From expanding access to critical services to activating underutilized spaces, these projects embody the innovation and collaboration that define our county. We are inspired by the vision and dedication of our grant recipients and look forward to seeing the transformative outcomes of their work. Together, we are not only investing in projects—we are investing in people, in communities, and in the future of Prince George’s County.”
