Picture the things you love most about your neighborhood. What about the small businesses that make our community unique?
If you don’t act now, the COVID-19 crisis could irreparably damage the places you love most.  As we begin to understand the cascading impacts the last several months are having on our economy, the resources we rely on to support small businesses will be significantly restricted.
That is why we need your support today to ensure that District Bridges and our Main Street programs will be here for our businesses and community in the coming year.
We’ve found that, too often, community development work falls into two camps – the theoretical, with fascinating potential but little actionable and measurable activities, and the practical, which is often undertaken in a silo with little connection to resources, theory, or history. We leverage our collective expertise, practical tools, and on-the-ground experience of our community development professionals, helping leaders define, achieve, and measure success to the benefit of all. Our approach to community-based economic development offers a unique opportunity to pilot new initiatives that encourage comprehensive stakeholder engagement and feedback while fostering collaboration and information-sharing.
