Introducing the DIG Fund!
We receive regular calls in the office from community activists, neighborhood groups and other mixes of citizens asking for help. One person has a great idea for turning a neglected lot into a beautiful space with benches and art and gardens. How should she proceed? A community group had an unproductive community meeting about a park, leaving people angry and frustrated. Can we help with facilitation? An arts group wants to create a small park but has no experience with designing spaces. Can Pomegranate Center help?
We would love to respond to every one of these requests with a rousing “of course we can help!� To us, these calls are signs of community vitality and optimism. They come from people who see opportunities for enhancing their neighborhoods and offer their willingness to act on their good impulses. These folks start with plenty of ideas, but few other resources.
And that is why we launched the DIG Fund. More »
