Dream Big 2.0
ONGOING- DECEMBER 2025
After years of successful Match Month campaigns and with the support of the Patterson Family Foundation, SVCF is excited to launch Dream Big 2.0, a county-wide initiative offering $10,000 in non-competitive impact grants to each of the 7 incorporated towns in Mitchell County. That's right! 7 Towns = $70,000, which we hope will help spark enthusiasm, creativity, and immediate action on projects within our communities.
COMM. DRIVEN-ACTION
Dream Big empowers residents in all seven incorporated towns to take an active role in shaping their communities. By engaging in strategic discussions and identifying local priorities, each town can turn ideas into completed projects.
COUNTY WIDE
With $70,000 in non-competitive grants distributed across all seven communities, Dream Big ensures that every town gets at least one project completed.
COLLABORATION
By requiring a community-wide strategic doing meeting, Dream Big fosters open dialogue and collective decision-making. Residents, local leaders, and organizations come together to identify a project, strengthen connections and community pride.
COMMUNITY IMPACT
Dream Big jumpstarts projects with immediate funding while inspiring long-term momentum. Encouraging residents to continue developing ideas, securing additional resources, and building momentum for future projects is a long term goal.
Fun Fact
DREAM BIG: ROUND 1
In August 2020 SVCF became 1 of 3 community foundations in the state to participate in the Kansas Community Philanthropy Innovators Network (CPIN). One of the cornerstones of the program was the task of creating an Economic Development Action focus that the group could work on during their 2-year cohort.
SVCF's action focus became, "To foster a prosperous & thriving region through the retention and recruitment of NCK residents while promoting the opportunities & advantages of choosing rural". From this idea, Dream Big was formed. Learn More
