[OMS_MANAGERS] Reser Foundation: Small Cities Grant Initiative

[Michael Held]

Good Morning OMS Network,

The Reser Family Foundation has developed a Small Community Initiative grant program<https://thereserfamilyfoundation.org/small-community-initiative/> geared toward rural communities. The stated goals of the grant align well with Main Street economic revitalization and include;

·       Promote a climate that encourages citizen involvement, open dialogue and innovation;

·       Prepare leaders to more effectively plan and implement local economic initiatives;

·       Support sustained revitalization as a critical component of success; and

·       Encourage small towns to think beyond size limits and actively build connections with regional economic initiatives and a wide range of economic partners.
Hope to see some Main Street communities land one of these grants!
Best of luck,
