About the KPB Community Beautification Grant

Keep Pearland Beautiful (KPB) offers Community Beautification Grants (CBGs) to support projects that make our shared spaces cleaner, greener, and more inviting. These grants empower residents, nonprofits, school districts, private and charter schools, civic groups, and small businesses to take an active role in improving the visual appeal of high-visibility areas within Pearland, Manvel, and Brookside Village. Whether it’s through native landscaping, public art, or environmental enhancements, CBGs help bring local ideas to life—one project at a time.
