What is Neighborhoods 2020?
The Neighborhoods 2020 process was created by the City Council to look at how the City serves and supports neighborhood organizations both internally and externally via finances, City staffing, organizational/advisory board oversight, and grant-funded programs. Each piece is important for equitable and high-quality services to be provided to residents. The Neighborhoods 2020 process comprises four important parts:

  • consistent funding and programming for neighborhoods and other community-based programs such as the One Minneapolis Fund and the Community Innovation Fund;
  • proper sizing and oversight of these programs by an advisory body;
  • a consistent citywide community engagement policy for the City of Minneapolis that incorporates the Core Principles of Community Engagement; and,
  • evaluating the Neighborhood and Community Relations Department’s service delivery model and making changes if necessary.

Quarterly Publications Share Events on Facebook
Fall | Winter | Spring | Summer September 2018

The Kingfield Neighborhood Association (KFNA) manages this List for the purpose of informing neighbors of events and issues that directly affect Kingfield neighborhood. This list is never shared nor sold to any other organizations. Kingfield is defined as 35W to Lyndale Avenue South and from 36th Street through 46th Street. All List recipients are invited to share neighborhood news with other members by sending messages to sarah@kingfield.org ; please indicate in the subject line that it is a message for the Kingfield E-mail List. All messages submitted by members for consideration of inclusion on the List must include complete contact information including name, phone, and email address. All messages will be screened and no partisan political messages will be posted. Ballot initiatives are not considered partisan political activity, and are permitted activities under KFNA's 501(c)(3) tax status.

The List Administrator will make the final decision as what information is posted to the Kingfield E-mail List and maintains the right to edit all messages. Many messages concerning neighborhood issues or questions we will simply answer directly, rather than posting to the entire list. Notices may also, or instead, at List Administrator's discretion be posted on the KFNA website
