Redmond is poised for growth and expansion, and based on previous projects like Hope
playground, seems to have energized citizens who likely would support a community foundation.
Our research found that cities across the country use a variety of models and structures that work
for their city’s unique characteristics, and Redmond’s future community foundation will be the same
— unique to the city of Redmond. Based on our research, we found that starting a community
foundation does not necessarily require a lot of money, and there are many different paths
communities can take to start a successful foundation. In all, we conclude that a community
foundation is absolutely feasible for Redmond.
