Longfellow Rising

Apply now!

Longfellow Rising exists because strong districts aren't built by waiting. They're built by people who care enough to act.

When businesses need advocates, we show up.

When artists need space to create, we help make it happen.

When community members have ideas for a stronger Downtown Longfellow, we help turn those ideas into action.

This campaign isn't just about raising money. It's about investing in a place hat believes the people closest to the challenges are also closest to the solutions.

If you believe in community-led action, we'd love your support.

Our campaign ends July 31. Every donation helps us continue building the Downtown Longfellow we know is possible.

On Tuesday, July 21, 1:30PM - 3000 Minnehaha Ave (the future “Democracy Center”) will be discussed at the City Council Committee on Business, Housing & Zoning - whether to allow the construction of a two-story, 16,800 square-foot addition to the building, the relocation of a public alley, and site improvements. This is a public hearing and people may each speak for 2 minutes. Meeting is in Council Chambers (Room 380) on the 3rd floor of City Hall, 350 S 5th Street
