In September 2020, Citizens4Community (C4C) received grant funding from the Ford Family Foundation to support our community building work around “building a more engaged and connected community” in Sisters Country. We will focus our organization’s time and grant funds on collaborative projects: activities that build relationships and trust, conversations that bring people of differing perspectives together, and projects that bring a voice and/or enhanced services to the underrepresented and underserved in Sisters Country.
C4C has $4000 in small grants to share with local Community Builders who will collaborate- working with at least one other group or non-profit organization to:
Create a more welcoming and inclusive community;
Identify and address an unmet need or barrier in Sisters Country;
Bring a voice or enhanced services to the underserved or underrepresented of Sisters Country; or
Help newcomers as well as long-time residents feel valued and supported.
Priority for funding will be given to
Organizations participating in the Community Builder alliance with C4C
