Purpose of the Grant
The purpose of the Ruppe Drugstore Micro-grant Program is to support events and activities at the Ruppe Drugstore that will directly benefit the surrounding community. Although events or activities do not need to be related to health, there is a priority given to those that will be hosting educational workshops around health and the wellness of the surrounding community. The micro-grant is intended to serve as a flexible source of funding for artists, organizations, small business owners, non-profits and/or other groups looking to put on events that may not generate any or enough revenue to be self-supporting.
The micro-grant program is sponsored by One Albuquerque’s Engage program. Engage is program run by the City of Albuquerque that focuses on elevating public experiences while increasing public safety throughout the City of Albuquerque. Learn more about engage at: https://www.cabq.gov/engage.
