The North Linden - Northeast Columbus Business Association

Feb 16, 2000

Established in 1991, the North Linden - Northeast Columbus Business Association is a non-profit (501-C3) community organization dedicated to helping empower the citizens of the North Linden and Northeast areas of Columbus to improve the quality of their urban, financial, and social lives. It hopes to create self sustaining, long-term economic development in the areas of poverty, unemployment, and general distress, and to demonstrate how distressed communities can achieve self sufficiency through innovative and comprehensive plans and approaches, developed and implemented by alliances among private, public and nonprofit entities.
All staff and administrative members of the business association are volunmteers. Unlike many other non-profit and charitable organizations, which routinely spend only 20-30% of their funds on non-administrative activities, ALL of the business associations funds are spent on community based improvement projects and activities. You get 100% "bang for your buck" with the North Linden - Northeast Business Association.
