How It Works

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS!
♦ Start with Neighbors
Projects provide an opportunity for the applicant and their neighbors to work together, share and build relationships to last a lifetime. Residents are key to achieving a more cooperative and attractive community.
Low to moderate-income homeowners submit a project application.* The Program Directors, made up of neighborhood resident representatives, review all activated applications and make decisions on acceptance, scope of work to be done, project date, and outline the applicant's responsibilities. Volunteer neighbors and friends are mobilized to address all aspects of project completion. All applicants must make a commitment to actively participate on their project as well as others. Two validated "Participation Certificates," issued by FUND, Inc. staff for involvement in various FUND Inc. related activities, are required to activate any application.
♦ Add Volunteers
Youth groups, families, employees, and community service groups from throughout our city have an opportunity to become "Hands On Partners" to assist in neighborhood projects. Their membership has deep ties and long standing commitment to our inner city neighborhoods and provides many different types of resources.
♦ Connect with Area Churches
Local churches provide love, hope and peace to support the neighborhood families. Their ministry is an invaluable service that is foundational to our mission and purpose as well.
♦ Involve the Local Business Community
The goods, services, labor, and cash contributions represent community investments paying off for long-term, city-wide change.
