Thanks to the generous support of Edward Jones, the National Main Street Center is pleased to provide match funds to support placemaking projects on Main Street. The Placemaking on Main Crowdfunding Challenge connects 10 selected Main Street America programs with ioby to raise funds for placemaking projects downtown and build local fundraising capacity. Each program has received $2,500 in match funds to implement their “lighter, quicker, cheaper” projects. The projects will have a catalytic impact on local economies, activate public spaces, and engage community residents.
