Program Will Support Community
Transformation Projects
OneMain Financial and Main Street America announced today the
launch of “Made on Main Street,” a new program that will provide
Community Action Grants for innovative, community transformation
projects across the country. Six $25,000 grants will be awarded
throughout 2018 and are open to Main Street America’s members in
Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio, Oregon, and Washington. Funded
projects may include downtown clean up days, public art displays,
and community gardens, among others.
OneMain Financial, America’s premier consumer finance company,
has been offering responsible and transparent personal loan
products for over 100 years. With over 1,600 locations in 44
states, OneMain Financial is deeply committed to the communities it
serves. Main Street America, a program of the National Main Street
Center, is a network of 1,000+ local affiliate organizations and 43
state, city, and county-level Main Street Coordinating Programs. It
supports revitalization of small towns, mid-sized communities, and
urban commercial districts. The like-minded belief of both
organizations in the importance of communities led to this exciting
initiative.
“OneMain has been an integral part of the communities we serve
throughout our over 100-year history, and we are thrilled to
partner with Main Street America on such a positive and impactful
initiative,” said President & CEO Jay Levine. “We know that
individuals thrive when communities thrive, and bringing life back
to neglected areas is an opportunity to celebrate the heart of
these cities and towns, and their residents.”
“We are very grateful to OneMain for this funding, and believe
that the ‘Made on Main Street’ partnership is a great way to help
our member organizations make an immediate difference in their
communities,” said Patrice Frey, President and CEO of the National
Main Street Center. “These projects not only improve our downtowns,
but remind us that our community spaces can and should be a source
of pride.”
In addition to the grants, OneMain will also sponsor an event in
each of the grant-awarded communities to bring people together for
an afternoon of food, fun, and games that celebrate the upcoming
transformations.
The first recipient of a Made on Main Street Grant is the
community of Goldsboro, North Carolina, which will use its funding
to create a permanent public mural and six-crosswalk murals. A
community celebration is planned there for April 21st.
Applications for the remaining grants will be accepted until
April 30th, and recipients will be announced on May 15th.
