The city of Minneapolis is proposing to cut base funding for CIDNA – and all neighborhood associations - to just $10,000 next year. This will cut CIDNA’s operating budget in half. After City mandated expenses, CIDNA would be left with an operating budget of a little more than $5,000 for 2023. This means a likely elimination of all family programming and local events hosted by CIDNA, including the Fall Festival, and ongoing advocacy on behalf of our neighbors on SWLRT and other issues throughout the year. We urgently need your help!
Make your voice heard: Let Lisa Goodman know you oppose the City’s drastic budget cuts for neighborhood associations ahead of the City Council’s budget meeting on December 6.
