Feedback About the NSNA Giving Process

We’re seeking feedback about our giving process! One of our primary purposes is to support groups and organizations that are supporting our local (Emerson East and Eken Park) neighborhoods. There are several ways that we do this, one of which is by giving funds to local groups that are doing work in our community through our Giving Process. Every year, our Giving Committee coordinates this process, where groups can seek funding for work they are doing, ranging from supporting local arts to improvements at the elementary school playground to to native plantings in local parks to feeding high school kids. The process includes that we have chances for people to give feedback about it, and then revise the process based on that feedback. We’ve now gone through this process twice, in 2024 and 2025. We are asking community members (including NSNA members and groups who have received funds) to provide any feedback. We’ve put together a brief survey focused on things that you like and things that you’d like changed. We’ve intentionally left it short and open-ended so you can say as much or as little as you want. We will leave the form open until noon on September 17th.

July Meeting Rescheduled

We are rescheduling the July North Street Neighborhood Association to Thursday, July 10th (still from 6:30pm-7:30pm at Bashford and online).

Our regularly scheduled meeting falls the night before the July 4th holiday and we were concerned about low attendance. We’ve updated the calendar to reflect this, but wanted to make sure folks knew.
