Eligible groups submit a service award application. Applications are due by the deadline at
310 N. Commerce Park Loop, Santa Rita Building
Tucson, AZ 85745
The application must be accompanied by the original signature page; therefore, the application must be delivered in person or arrive in the mail by the deadline. Faxes and electronic submittals will not be accepted.
PRO Neighborhoods staff is available to help groups develop an application.
PRO Neighborhoods staff screens the application to be sure the group meets eligibility requirements. Staff may request a site visit with the all of the group members to clarify the project.
A committee of planning and design professionals will review the service award applications to make final selections and match a team of professionals to each successful applicant group.
PRO Neighborhoods sends decision letters to applicants to let them know whether they were selected for a service award. (Note: Those applicants who were not selected will receive reasons for the denial and be provided with suggestions from the reviewers as appropriate.)
PRO Neighborhoods arranges meetings between the successful applicants and their matched Professional Team to define the scope of the project, identify the final product (conceptual plan, drawings, etc.), agree on pro bono hours and the project schedule, and clarify responsibility for each aspect of it . A Memorandum of Agreement will be signed by each member of the neighborhood group and the professional team and by a representative of PRO Neighborhoods. The primary purpose of the MOA is to make the shared expectations for the project available to everyone from the beginning.
