Community Input on One-time Investments

The U District BIA is seeking your help!

The University District BIA Board has identified a pool of excess money that can be spent on one-time projects in the U District. The Board is looking for input from the community on how to best spend these funds. Your feedback ranking projects will help the Board prioritize these one-time expenditures.

Funding levels are grouped by the following:

$ = $10,000 or less, $$ = $10,000-25,000, $$$ = $25,000-100,000, $$$$ = Over $100,000

The U District Partnership, which manages the BIA, has a mission of serving all who work in, live in, and visit the U District by fostering and sustaining a vibrant, diverse, and healthy neighborhood for the common good. To learn more about the U District Partnership and how they use BIA funds to meet community needs, please visit our website or read our Strategic Plan.
