According to a press release:
In order to be considered for funding, the project should achieve the objectives of the Spirit of the Springs initiatives.
The three primary objectives are:
Celebrate and Connect Colorado Springs
There are many reasons to celebrate Colorado Springs. We have one of the most beautiful cities in the world with a vibrant arts and culture scene, great parks, and trails that foster an outdoor, healthy lifestyle. We can further the City of Colorado Springs by celebrating our current community traditions and creating new events to showcase the best our city offers.
Cultivate Future City Government Leadership
The success of Colorado Springs depends on its future leaders. We need to grow city leaders for our future and create more diversity in the city workforce. By engaging with our youth as early as middle and high school, they will choose to grow up and stay, work and play in Colorado Springs.
Encourage Citizen Involvement with the City.
There are many citizens in Colorado Springs that want to help make our city better. Sometimes, they just are not sure where to start or how best to help. The goal is to connect those individuals with community organizations who could benefit from their time and commitment.
Questions should be directed to Donna Nelson, economic vitality specialist, at dznelson@springsgov.com.
