Pocket Change
Since 2018 SWBID has partnered with the Southwest Neighborhood Assembly (SWNA) to host Pocket Change––a $1000 micro-grant competition to highlight and fund remarkable ideas to invest in the Southwest community. From starting book clubs to disrupting violence, Pocket Change is a crowdfunded micro-grant that aims to better our community with ideas from Southwest for Southwest.
