Program Description:

 Keeping it simple. We keep decision-making simple so that we can respond quickly to local needs. If someone has an idea to improve our community, we invite them to sit with us and tell us their idea. If we feel they’re ready, we offer a small grant to help them get started. It’s that simple. No applications, no big reports. The process is friendly and respectful.
