Neighbors United Funding Collaborative

Update: The Neighbors United Funding Collaborative is helping the Midway + Union Park small business and nonprofit community rebuild their storefronts during this time of need. Hundreds of businesses have been devastated and need our support! Your donation will help rebuild our community in the months ahead.

The goal of the Midway United fund is to sustain the vitality and identity of the Union Park and Hamline Midway neighborhoods.

Our opportunity is as the Midway grows and changes with new developments like the soccer stadium, it’s important for neighbors and community partners to be active leaders in those changes to better ensure the current community and its residents truly benefits from all the new investments. And to make investments of their own.

There is a vibrancy and unique character and history to the Midway which we need to protect and preserve as we welcome growth and new energy. Midway United’s strategy is to create opportunities for local residents, small businesses, and organizations to implement exciting and positive projects through grant funds and organizations which will benefit the local neighborhoods of Union Park and Hamline Midway.

The Midway United fund  is  available to Union Park and Hamline-Midway residents and small businesses to improve or maintain the community we love by: 

• Identifying an opportunity or idea
• Creating a project
• Designing and submitting a proposal, and
• Organizing the community to make the project a reality. 

The projects could include, but are not limited to, economic development activities, placemaking, public art, ideas to prevent gentrification, all in hope of preserving what we all love most about our community. Projects would be funded within roughly a half-mile of the Midway stadium superblock.
