Redmond Community Foundation
(2016) Austin, Ellie R.; Cannon, Kea; Logan, Jake; Savoian, Margaret; Ulrich, Nicky; Mason, Dyana
Redmond is poised for growth and expansion, and based on previous projects like Hope playground, seems to have energized citizens who likely would support a community foundation. Our research found that cities across the country use a variety of models and structures that work for their city’s unique characteristics, and Redmond’s future community foundation will be the same -- unique to the city of Redmond. Based on our research, we found that starting a community foundation does not necessarily require a lot of money, and there are many different paths communities can take to start a successful foundation. In all, we conclude that a community foundation is absolutely feasible for Redmond.
