ENVISION DUBUQUE
SCOPE OF WORK
FY26
Our partnership with the City of Dubuque was established in 2012 as a network of local organizations
coming together to build on the idea that our strength is grounded in our ability to work together. Over
the past twelve years, the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque has convened meetings and
led programming throughout the city to connect our residents of Dubuque to good -paying jobs, a
vibrant community, and livable neighborhoods. This includes being a key source of information, training,
and engagement, as well as working to promote a more welcoming community within Dubuque.
Envision 2030
Building off the success of Envision 2010 — which helped lead directly to achievements like the
establishment of Crescent Community Health Center — Envision 2030 will solicit thousands of proposed
projects and recommendations from Dubuque residents. Then, through the help of community
members, the number will be narrowed to 10 priority initiatives that can shape the future of Dubuque.
The involvement of Inform and Engaged Dubuque in this effort is essential, as including the input of
residents throughout our entire community is necessary for ensuring initiatives that meet our city's
needs and accurately reflect our community's priorities.
Local News Accessibility
Envision Dubuque will spearhead an effort to ensure local news is available broadly throughout our
community. This will include an assessment of the local news ecosystem to understand how local
community members currently access local news and what their preferred methods and content are.
Simultaneously, an advisory board will be established to collect input from a multitude of voices and
guide the work as it moves forward. We will also establish a grants program to support local news
organizations and concepts. Lack of access to local news can limit our community's ability to be well-
informed and up-to-date on important news, such as in the case of weather alerts and other
emergencies. We can provide strong local news coverage by understanding gaps in access to local
information and empowering communities to fill those gaps.
Immigrant Families
The Community Foundation will administer a fund for immigrants to provide individual assistance to
immigrant families regarding their health and its determinants, including housing.
City Partnerships
One of our primary efforts will be partnering with aligned departments within the City of Dubuque to
further shared goals and priorities.
Data
Envision Dubuque will share important data from local research on economic mobility, poverty,
education and more that highlights the barriers and opportunities facing Dubuque residents. This
includes hosting an annual Data Walk focused on a key issue to inspire community conversations and
Page 275 of 678
empower collective action. Informed and Engaged Dubuque also regularly presents community -level
data to nonprofit organizations and local groups, emphasizing an understanding of the experiences of
Dubuque residents.
Safe Schools
Through the Safe in Schools initiative we will build local partnerships to ensure school safety. Safe in
Schools brings together school districts, non-profit leaders, law enforcement officials, elected officials
and committed members of our community to identify ways to support child safety at school.
Education and Local College Access
We will champion academic success for students in need through Every Child Reads and the Attendance
Counts Local College Access Network focused on reducing chronic absenteeism, This is especially
important given existing data outlining differences in school outcomes, such as how 54% of Black
students and 63% of Pacific Islander students in the Dubuque Community School District are considered
chronically absent.
Activating Funding
Through our close partnerships and networks with local stakeholders, we will continue to support local
entities and nonprofit organizations in bringing funding to reduce pollutants and increase wealth
building into our region.
Community Events
Envision Dubuque will host and fund network and community events, including cultural celebrations
such as the Juneteenth Celebration, Pride Festival, Latinx Fiesta, Marshallese Constitution Day, and
the Fiesta Guatemalteco. This also includes continuing events such as our recent International Student
Event held at the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium, which are designed to encourage
individuals and families to choose Dubuque as a destination for long-term careers, recreation, and
entertainment.

PROJECT HOPE
SCOPE OF WORK
FY26
Project HOPE (Helping Our People Excel) is an initiative led by the Community Foundation that unites
key stakeholders in a collaborative effort to tackle systemic issues faced by individuals living in poverty.
Project HOPE aims to enhance access to economic opportunities for all community members by
addressing barriers related to education, employment, housing, brain health, and other vital elements of
economic mobility.
Project HOPE Steering Committee
The Project HOPE Steering Committee will be a collaboration of community partners (government
agencies, businesses, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations) who will meet regularly with
the intent to assess and address community needs (brain health, financial security, college access,
community engagement, and creating strong referral networks for community leaders).
• The Committee serves as an advisory council to the City's Office of Economic Mobility &
Neighborhood Support.
• This contributes to the City of Dubuque's goal of a robust local economy for jobs with economic
prosperity.
• Opportunity Dubuque, a partnership initially led by Project HOPE, connects underemployed
community members with free job training.
Support for Grassroots Efforts and Organizations
Research by the Community Foundation has identified a significant lack of connected, sufficiently
resourced, and sustainable organizations operating within low-income communities. To better support
these organizations, we will use a newly developed Project HOPE Playbook for Capacity Building with
Grassroots Partners, a document collaboratively created by Project HOPE staff and the Office of
Economic Mobility & Neighborhood Support as part of a yearlong collaboration through the Urban
Institute's Mobility Action Learning Network. This playbook serves as a tool for Project HOPE to build
relationships with grassroots organizations, assess priority and long-term needs, provide ongoing
support and resources, and connect these organizations to leadership and advocacy opportunities.
Project HOPE has already initiated engagement with four grassroots partners.
Office of Economic Mobility & Neighborhood Support
One of the primary efforts of Project HOPE is partnering with the Office of Economic Mobility &
Neighborhood Support to lead the effort to create a thriving community and eliminating obstacles for
the city's most vulnerable residents.
Data
Project HOPE will maintain and share city -level cost of living data by using the United Way's ALICE
Survival Budget as a key metric, conducted in partnership with staff from the Office of Economic
Mobility & Neighborhood Support. Project HOPE staff will also continue to share community -level data
Page 295 of 678
on a wide variety of economic mobility topics in order to support an evidence -based approach to
addressing economic growth and poverty reduction.
Immigration (Better Together Committee)
The Community Foundation will convene the Better Together Committee (BTQ a collective impact
group focused on reducing barriers faced by local immigrant populations. The BTC is currently pursuing
five projects related to economic opportunity:
1. Assisting local businesses in hiring and retaining employees from immigrant populations;
2. Supporting and retaining international students;
3. Training local community members in medical interpretation;
4. Increasing the number of navigators in local systems and providing support to existing
navigators; and
5. Addressing chronic absenteeism, including among immigrant populations.
National Economic Mobility Action Network
The Community Foundation is participating as one of ten selected communities from across the U.S. in
the CFLeads Economic Mobility Action Network. We are part of an advanced -level cohort run by the
Urban Institute and CFLeads, one of the largest national organizations that support community
foundations. Our participation has enabled us to collaborate with staff from the City's Community
Impact Department, Multicultural Family Center, and Office of Economic Mobility & Neighborhood
Support as partners in the program. This network brings together collective impact initiatives across the
country, offering connections and technical assistance focused on economic mobility efforts. For this
network, we aim to enhance the capacity of local businesses to better hire and retain employees from
immigrant communities.
Affordable Housing
We will support access to affordable housing for low to moderate -income households throughout
Dubuque through the efforts of the Dubuque Housing Trust Fund.
Food Provider Network
Through a collaboration with local nonprofits, we will convene Dubuque's Food Provider Network, which
offers support and coordination to organizations tackling food insecurity.
Volunteer Tax Assistance
Through a collaboration with the City, HACAP, and other local partners and dedicated volunteers, we
will provide free volunteer income tax assistance and Earned Income Tax Credit help through the VITA
program.
Restorative Justice
In partnership with NAMI Dubuque the Community Foundation will conduct a restorative justice
program in Dubuque that provides young people accused of a crime with an alternative to the juvenile
justice system which helps them avoid adding to their criminal record by engaging with the impacted
Page 296 of 678
individuals, providing restitution for their offenses, and facilitating their reintegration into the
community.
Brain Health
Project HOPE will provide systems -level support with community stakeholders regarding brain health,
including assisting the City's crisis intervention team (CIT) staff when necessary.
Disaster Prevention
The Community Foundation will continue to convene and support the local Community Organizations
Active in Disaster (COAD) group to assist storm victims and their families with funds to meet their needs.
