The city has completed 100 formal partnerships during the past 13 years, and recipients have made various improvements such as: enhanced lighting, neighborhood signage, landscaping and improving neighborhoods parks. All projects must be visible from the public roadway or benefit all residents in the city.

To be eligible, neighborhoods must have either a homeowner's association or neighborhood association, be established as a nonprofit corporation pursuant to Florida Statute, Chapter 617.301-312, complete the neighborhood registration form online at www.CoralSprings.org/community and submit a completed Matching Grant application.
