Project Details
With the goal of supporting the vision of making Kingston a smart, livable and leading city, the Office of Strategy, Innovation and Partnerships at the City of Kingston (the ‘Organization’) looks to develop, support and integrate innovation activity/ies throughout the community.
Throughout the year, there are often many worthwhile projects and/or causes presented to the City of Kingston (or identified by various departments within the City). More often than not, these projects require resources of some sort in order to be executed (eg, labour, financial support etc). While funding these project ideas is often not possible for the City, the Organization recognized that there are people out there who would be keen to support local initiatives if they only knew about them! Providing information about the project(s), why they ‘matter’ and what the funding requirements are, could be all it takes for interested parties to help get these projects off the ground.
Project Goals
How might we connect our community to problems in a way that helps them to understand why they may want to take part?
