Local First

Where every
dollar goes.

DNA is a neighborhood association — not a 501(c)(3), not a corporation, not a vendor. Sponsor dollars and member dues go directly to the work on the block.

Cleanup supplies — gloves, bags, bins, tools, and coffee for the volunteers who show up.

Event costs — food for monthly neighbors meetings, signage, equipment, permits for signature events.

Leadership pipeline — scholarships, materials, and meeting space for emerging civic leaders from the corridor.

Recognition & media — the business spotlight series, neighbor recognition, and the content engine that puts downtown on the map.

Every dollar stays in the neighborhood. Local first — always.

Pick a lane — we'll meet you there

Show up.
Stand up. Build up.

Whether you're joining as a member, volunteering for the next cleanup, or signing up to sponsor the work — the answer is yes, and the next step is easy.
