Our Why.

The South Side Community Growth Foundation aims to bring lasting positive impact to the South Side neighborhood. By connecting neighbors, organizations and government, and investing in the neighborhood, the Foundation will help everyone access the resources they need to thrive, support the South Side’s children, and secure a bright future for the community.

What We Do.

The South Side Community Growth Foundation is excited to meet our neighbors! We want to know what is important to you and what you need to have the best quality of life now and in the future.

We are actively meeting with neighbors face-to-face with kitchen table talks, individual outreach, and events. We appreciate you, your time, and wisdom.

Liam Kirst is our community engagement coordinator. If you or your community group would like to connect with Liam, please email him at [email protected].

Facilitating Collaborative Connections.

Connections start with neighborhood engagement and building relationships with people who live in the community.

We build and strengthen connections:
to and between residents, to other nonprofits and local, state and federal government officials and to manmade/built environment and natural resources in the community, including the schools, Creek Walk, and park.
