Support the Revitalization of Downtown Colfax
The Historic Colfax Downtown Association is dedicated to transforming downtown Colfax into a vibrant destination that honors its rich Gold Rush and railroad history while fostering a thriving business and cultural environment. However, none of this can be done without the support of our community members, businesses, and stakeholders like you.
By donating to the Historic Colfax Downtown Association, you are directly contributing to the preservation of our historic town and the growth of our local economy. Most grants and state funding programs require matching funds, which means we need to raise funds locally to qualify for additional support. Your donations provide the necessary backing to help us secure these funds and move forward with key projects.
Where Your Donation Goes
- Streetscape Improvements: Help us beautify downtown with improved lighting, landscaping, and pedestrian-friendly areas.
- Historic Preservation: Contribute to restoring key historical buildings such as the Colfax Hotel and Masonic Hall, maintaining the character of our downtown.
- Public Spaces & Gathering Areas: Enhance our community by funding public spaces where people can gather, shop, and enjoy local events.
- Small Business Development: Your support helps attract new businesses and fosters growth among current downtown merchants, creating a vibrant local economy.
- Events & Community Engagement: Bring life to downtown with events like festivals, farmers markets, and cultural celebrations, all designed to increase foot traffic and support local businesses.
Why We Need Your Support
Colfax has incredible potential, but like many small towns, we face financial limitations. Grants and public funding often require us to match a portion of the funds, meaning we need to raise money locally to unlock external grants. Your donations allow us to meet these requirements and push forward projects that will make a real difference in our community.
By contributing, you become a partner in the transformation of downtown Colfax, helping us turn this vision into reality. Together, we can bring new life to our town, creating a destination for locals and visitors alike.
