If every estate gave just 5% to the community for future generations, The Community Foundation of Muncie and Delaware County, Inc. could grant an additional $3.31million each year, forever.

The real difference:

PEOPLE POWERResident engagement is mission critical

THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONBY AND FOR THE PEOPLE SIX ELEMENTS OF RESIDENT ENGAGEMENT

1 Represent the community in your choices for staff, board and committee members.

2 Listen to resident concerns and ideas about the community’s future.

3 Offer information, space and support to others engaging residents.

4 Understand civic systems and processes to help residents connect with the public sector.

5 Partner with residents to advance their ideas and solve problems.

6 Measure level and quality of resident engagement in all efforts.

Based on Engaging Residents: A New Call to Action for Community Foundations, a 2013 report prepared by the CFLeads Cultivating Community Engagement Panel.


THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONPRINCIPLES OF POWERFUL RESIDENT ENGAGEMENT

Inclusive. People from all parts of the community’s population are involved in every way.

Everyone gives. All parties contribute to the effort, drawing on their individual strengths and assets.

Reciprocity. Organizations and individuals teach and learn from each other in a two-way exchange.

Assets, not deficits. All residents have power and ability. Communities can identify, use and leverage assets such as time, talents, experiences, networks and more.

Partnership, not directorship. Organizations and individuals work with, rather than for or on behalf of communities.
