A-GUIDE

FUNDING FRAMEWORK

The CRA’s funding activities must align with the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Plan. In response, the CRA has developed the A-GUIDE: Achieving Goals Using Impact Driven Evaluation, a grant program to assist organizations that engage in activities that further the CRA’s mission.  While the CRA is the primary entity responsible for implementing the Redevelopment Plan, several of the Overall Needs identified in the Plan can more effectively be addressed through partnerships with other organizations.

  • Mission consistent with the mission of the CRA
