DONATE

Thank you for consistently supporting our local South Orange Downtown businesses. We can never thank the South Orange community enough for all your generosity and support. If you are looking for additional ways to continue to support our local small businesses (in addition to spending locally), we hope you will consider donating to our non profit organization whose mission is to support our businesses and maintain a vibrant downtown.

WHY

We support the downtown business district through various initiatives such as:

  • Downtown on Display, which which focuses on spotlighting our amazing downtown businesses with specially curated events

  • Public art projects including the mural and sculpture at Village Plaza Triangle, Alley Cats along the Music Walk, the Spiotta Park mural, and the revitalization of Friendship Circle

  • Façade Improvement Grant Program, which assists our local small businesses with the cost of storefront improvements that will create a positive impact on the overall appearance, quality and vitality of our downtown

  • Family friendly community events and free live music programmingThese types of programs add enormous value to the cultural, aesthetic and economic vitality of our community.

We need your help to continue to bring these types of programs to the downtown.

As we look ahead to 2026, we are focused on strengthening the programs our community already loves and continuing to invest in our downtown. Your gift will help ensure it remains a place where businesses thrive, connections grow, and residents feel proud to call home.
