## About Neighbors In Action (NIA)

Neighbors In Action (NIA) was [launched by the City of Rochester in September 2024](https://www.cityofrochester.gov/news/city-launches-neighbors-action-nia-community-engagement-program). In January 2025, the City was [joined by partners](https://www.cityofrochester.gov/news/mayor-evans-introduces-partners-citys-neighbors-action-nia-effort) [Rochester Area Community Foundation](https://www.racf.org/) and [ESL Federal Credit Union](https://www.esl.org/) to help fund and administer the program.&#x20;

NIA, pronounced "NEE-uh," offers small grants, up to $10,000 each, empowering residents to come together and take purposeful action toward strengthening and improving their neighborhoods.

The initiative is based on Neighbors Building Neighborhoods (NBN), begun in 1996 by former Rochester Mayor William A. Johnson Jr. NBN was recognized nationally as a model for government and civic partnerships that inspired and supported hundreds of projects across the city that ranged from beautification initiatives to enhanced public safety.
