Hey There Neighbor! (Lehigh Valley, PA)
Bike Biscuits of Bethlehem runs the Lehigh Valley Hey There Neighbor Fund: 'Get a small grant to host a casual gathering with your neighbors.' Up to $100, bilingual page, and the landing page is the application itself.
The invitation
Headline: "Lehigh Valley Hey There Neighbor Fund!" Promise: "Get a small grant to host a casual gathering with your neighbors." The button says Submit Application. It is for Lehigh Valley residents in Allentown, Easton, or Bethlehem.
The grant
Up to $100 for a simple neighbor gathering (treated here as a fixed cap). Paid by Venmo or PayPal to the email given. Asked of hosts: agree to post-event reflection questions and follow-up contact; an optional demographic checkbox. No deadline stated on the page.
What the landing page does well
- The page is the form. There is no separate "learn more" layer: headline, one-sentence promise, then fields.
- An English/Español toggle in the header, which is rare among these programs.
- The questions double as coaching: a "how connected do you feel" question, a first-time-host question, a location field, and a date picker nudge the applicant to picture the event while applying.
- A hand-drawn horse illustration beside the headline gives a tiny art-collective site more character than any stock photo would.
- Payment method is chosen in the application, so money can move the moment a host is approved.
- Visual feel: informal, illustrated, small-organization; specific colors not stated on the fetched page.
