Community partners

Support the people who make downtown a neighborhood.

DANA works with organizations that want to strengthen resident communication, public spaces, events, volunteer efforts, and practical civic participation.

Why partnership matters

Downtown works better when resident needs and organizational resources connect.

Businesses, properties, civic groups, cultural organizations, and sponsors influence the everyday downtown experience. DANA helps direct that capacity toward practical resident value rather than disconnected promotion.

Resident impact

What partnership makes possible

Partners can offer funding, a place to meet, useful know-how, volunteers, or simply help spread the word.

01

Neighborhood gatherings

Help DANA host meetings, volunteer days, welcome tables, and relaxed events where neighbors can meet.

02

Clear neighborhood updates

Help residents understand changes to streets, parks, transportation, safety, and new development.

03

Care for shared spaces

Support cleanups, neighborhood walks, and small improvements that help public places feel cared for.

04

Simple ways to join in

Make it easier for people to sign up, come to an event, volunteer, or tell DANA what they think.

Proposed public-art initiative

Downtown Creative Routes

Being developed as a proposed collaboration between Downtown Perks and DANA, with support requested from NEXUS, artists, cultural partners, and downtown residents. The initiative would provide simple ways to discover creative work and share useful neighborhood perspective.

3 ways the initiative works
Colorful public art along a downtown route

Discover creative work

A route would help people find public art, performances, cultural places, and changing public spaces while they are downtown.

Invite resident voice

Short prompts would let downtown residents share what felt welcoming, what was difficult to navigate, and what they would like to experience more often.

Keep the public purpose clear

DANA would help keep the proposal focused on public access, paid creative participation, useful resident feedback, and transparent reporting if support is secured.
