Ellsworth E3 project committees start with a community-led vision. When a community member reaches out with an idea, we encourage them to engage others in the community who share their desire for similar quality of life improvements. When they are "team-ready" to start organizing, we help them form a committee under our non-profit umbrella. Once a project is approved for Project Support by our Board of Directors, we empower the committee to take the lead on their project, becoming the project managers to see it through to completion. Through the process, we will offer our support through fundraising, grant writing, presenting to other agencies/interested parties, finding volunteers, and creating community awareness.
From simple, tactical urbanism projects like the Ellsworth Planter Project to larger, ongoing efforts like The Future Ellsworth Dog Park, we are able to offer our support to project efforts of all kinds. Committees can be formed to take on a single challenge, or bring awareness to a larger, ongoing effort.
To date, we have assisted with raising over $50,000 towards local projects, logged thousands of volunteer hours, and continue to support the following community-led projects:
