San Jose – Aug 14, 2018 –<\/strong> Brown & Company has announced a Kickstarter project to produce an “owner’s manual” for citizens interested in local community development.<\/p>\n

“Quality of life” is important. So many of us volunteer: we coach teams, join committees, donate to shelters. But increasingly, we, as individuals or members of small groups, are working to find more substantial solutions to local problems.<\/p>\n

We’re encouraged to do this by civic leaders who know citizen engagement promotes diversity and creative thinking. Citizens can play a major role in defining city personality and character and making local life truly special. But budgets also come into play. Most cities are chronically short of funds.<\/p>\n

More substantial projects, like art installations, special-needs parks or a new city sign, often require special skills or knowledge. City employees provide critical guidance, but they’re not going to run your project. Defining ideas, assembling resources, managing the process A to Z, raising money — that’s all up to you.<\/p>\n

Citizens need an owner’s manual. And this Kickstarter project is it: a Perfect Bound, offset-printed book, 6” x 9” and about 200 pages. It will cover steps and best practices, provide examples and case studies, and list valuable resources. Including new ways to raise money (like crowdfunding!).<\/p>\n

Help us help cities. Budget shortfalls are making this a growing movement. Let’s push it along.<\/p>\n

Visit Kickstarter today and pre-order a copy of Citizen-Led Community Development — The Owner’s Manual: bit.ly\/citizen-book<\/a><\/p>\n

Ordering early activates algorithms that improves chances for project success.<\/em><\/p>\n
