$5,000 Goal

Stevens Square Community Organization, founded in 1975, is the official neighborhood organization representing the Stevens Square-Loring Heights neighborhoods and services 4,000+ residents.

At SSCO, we are residents working to make sure our neighbors love where they live by maintaining a wide range of free programming and opportunities for our fellow SS-LH residents to engage in: from the arts, to gardening and greenspace, to community health and safety, to our built environment, to community connection, to local government - there's something for everyone.

Your donation allows us to expand our ability to provide accessible and relevant activities to our neighbors in Stevens Square-Loring Heights, such as:

  • Long-standing community-building events like Red Hot Art Festival, an annual summer event in Stevens Square Park

  • An innovative Rental Discount program, encouraging the large numbers of renters in our neighborhood to get involved by providing a discount on rent up to $225 a month for volunteering and attending community committee meetings

  • Community meetings where we facilitate grassroots information exchange and decision-making about issues impacting our neighborhood

  • Free food provided at our quarterly events
  • Inclusive language options with our Translation Service Tool available on our website.
  • A Citizen-led Safety Team promoting safety and engaging community members through neighborhood walks.

  • Greening programs like our beautiful community gardens and sustainable initiatives

  • And more!

This year for GTMD2025, help us reach our fundraising goal of $5,000!

Your donation will go towards helping us bring back our neighborhood's farmers market, continuing work on the Robert Skafte Memorial Garden, and keep up our Red Hot Art Fest in the summer!
