CreatINg Places Campaign

We exceeded our campaign goals!

 

We received $46,920 from 135 donors in just sixty days! This is amazing! What a tremendous effort shown by so many who supported this campaign! We will receive the matching grant from Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority on the initial $30,000 raised. This provides $60,000 for new playground equipment to be installed. The additional $16,920 will be added to other funds generated from grants we've applied for, and will be used for a pavilion.

​

We are happy to report that demolition has begun onsite, making way for new and exciting things to come for our Park! Follow our Halteman Park page for the most recent news and updates. Once again, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU one and all!

​

Update:

Thanks to the incredible generosity of so many of our friends and neighbors we are pleased to announce, we met our original goal! With the 50/50 match from the IHCDA grant, we are now able to move forward with the purchase agreement for the new playground equipment! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU. None of this would have been possible without each and every one of you who have contributed to our campaign, as well as those who have collaborated with us on this endeavor.

 

Having met our goal in less than 30 days, we now have the opportunity to continue crowdfunding through Patronicity until the original deadline of April 6. If we meet our stretch goal, this will enable us to add other amenities such as a pavilion and landscaping to the park.

We have decided to take this opportunity offered us, and continue the incredible momentum toward a new goal of $45,000, just $15,000 beyond our original target amount. While this additional amount does not qualify for the 50/50 matching grant, it will be invaluable to the project nonetheless.

 

Therefore, we ask that if you can, please continue to contribute. Every donation counts, regardless. We appreciate every one of you who is helping make this into a park our entire community can be proud of and enjoy. If you cannot afford to contribute, please continue to share this information with your network. Spreading the word is just as valuable to the overall success of our efforts!
