The Borough of Carlisle is now accepting applications for Outside Agency Funding. Twice a year, as part of the annual budget process, Borough Council considers funding requests from organizations that want to improve Carlisle. Applications for this round must be received by March 31, 2024.

Applicants wishing to apply to receive Outside Agency Funding must demonstrate that the funds will be used for one or more of the following areas:
- Community Beautification: Funds may be used to beautify a particular area of Carlisle Borough. Examples could include planting along a block, neighborhood cleanups, vehicle rental for bulk cleanup, planting of trees, etc.

- Support of Community Activities: Funds may be used to organize or support community events, including purchasing materials or supplies needed for such events.
