Funding & Partners

​

Funding Partners

The money for our work is raised by our volunteers, who write grants, hold fundraising events and ask for donations and sponsorships. In 2020, Hometown Pride spent $98,000 to complete projects in our community, and raised an additional $24,000 for work in early 2021 (more than $120,000 total).

​

A special thanks to this year's biggest funders:

  • Warren County Economic Development Corporation, who gave $40,000 to Hometown Pride efforts through a special grant program.

  • Warren County Philanthropic Partnership, who gave a total of $17,000 in grants to 4 different Hometown Pride groups.

  • The City of Cumming, who gave more than $25,000 to the Cumming water tower project.

​

Other funding partners included:

  • Warren County

  • Friends of the Hartford City Park

  • City of Hartford

  • Middlebrook Farms

  • City of Norwalk (Parks & Recreation)

  • Michael Foods

  • The Norwalk Shop

  • City of Milo

  • Milo 4th of July

  • Country Propane 

  • Southeast Warren Community Schools 

  • Southeast Warren Partners in Educations

  • Milo Lions Club

  • And the many, many residents and businesses who gave smaller donations and attended our fundraising events. These smaller contributions add up! In 2020, they accounted for approximately $10,000 of our funding.

​

Thank you to all our funding partners, both large and small. You turn our ideas into reality!
