At the Mount Vernon-Lisbon Community Development Group (CDG), everything we do is powered by people—neighbors, volunteers, and local champions who believe in a stronger, more vibrant community. As a volunteer-led organization, your support through our Annual Investment Drive is essential to turning ideas into action.
Your investment directly supports CDG’s strategic goals, including:
📣 A comprehensive marketing plan
This includes refreshed branding and storytelling tools that better reflect who we are and where our community is headed—helping us attract visitors, businesses, and community members.
💻 Smart technology investments
We are implementing a CRM software to better manage donor and volunteer relationships, track engagement, and improve communication—so every hour volunteered, and every dollar invested has a greater impact.
🏛 Maintaining our Main Street America™ Accreditation
Accreditation ensures our work meets national standards and keeps us connected to proven best practices. Your support allows our director and board to attend essential conferences, trainings, and webinars that provide tools to support our organization, businesses, and community members.
