Our Work
We exist to support and empower Whittier’s residents, businesses, and property owners to engage with their community at the most local level, to work together to solve problems, and to celebrate the extraordinary elements that make our neighborhood one of a kind. We plan community events, provide a platform for voicing ideas and concerns to elected officials, administer community grant programs, build neighborhood coalitions, support small business initiatives, and serve as a resource hub for all things Whittier.
Our Structure & Funding
Whittier Alliance is an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization governed by our Board of Directors. We have two full-time and one part-time staff members, but most of the work is carried out by passionate volunteers who devote their own time and energy to events and task forces. We are funded primarily by the City of Minneapolis for operating expenses, but we also rely on the generous donations of stakeholders in the neighborhood to fund programming and community events.
