DURA’s Community STAND (Stabilization Tool Assisting Neighborhood Development) program provides direct funding to small businesses, nonprofits and Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) to help them stay rooted, grow with intention and continue serving the neighborhoods that depend on them. By investing in organizations with deep neighborhood ties, especially in areas historically overlooked, C-STAND helps stabilize local economies, preserve culture and strengthen long-term community resilience.
