In August 2021, Blue Meridian Partners (BMP) selected the Dayton Region to receive $8 million over two-years to fund impactful programs, projects, and collaborations designed to provide neighborhood-based two-generation supports that advance racial and economic equity, such as early childhood education, quality K-12 schools, and wraparound services for children and their families.

 

The Northwest Dayton Partnership (NWDP) is a cross-sector effort to engage residents, parents, children, government, schools, colleges, nonprofits, neighborhood groups, and faith-based organizations to work on solutions together. Core to the approach is the belief that the people living, working, and going to school in the neighborhoods need to be the center of this effort.

 

From 2021-2023, the many participants and stakeholders in Northwest Dayton Partnership (NWDP) worked to better understand the hopes and needs of the community and develop a sustainable vision for improving opportunities.

 

 

 

The result is a plan that highlights the shared priorities for the residents, organizations, and partners of Northwest Dayton in creating pathways to success for families. This thoughtful and strategic work resulted in a solid foundation that will positively impact the community for years to come.
