Sterling Main Street is proud to announce the launch of its 2026 Annual Partnership Campaign, inviting businesses and individuals to invest in the continued growth and vibrancy of Downtown Sterling.
As a nonprofit organization dedicated to revitalizing and promoting the heart of our community, Sterling Main Street relies on the generous support of local partners to bring meaningful improvements and memorable experiences to downtown. Contributions of any dollar amount are welcome and make a direct impact.
Funds raised through the campaign support a wide range of initiatives, including downtown beautification efforts, the continued growth and enhancement of the Twin City Farmers Market, and sponsorships that help bring beloved community events to life throughout the year. From seasonal festivals and family-friendly celebrations to economic development efforts and small business support, every partnership plays a role in strengthening our downtown.
“Downtown Sterling thrives because of the people and businesses who believe in it,” said Janna Groharing, Executive Director of Sterling Main Street. “Whether you are a small business owner, a large employer, or a resident who simply loves our community, your partnership helps ensure that downtown remains vibrant, welcoming, and full of opportunity.”
Partnership opportunities are open to both businesses and individuals, with various levels of recognition and engagement available. Most importantly, every contribution—large or small—demonstrates a shared commitment to investing in Sterling’s future.
