Sullivan Renaissance is a beautification and community
development program principally funded by the Gerry
Foundation. The program provides grants and technical
assistance. Since 2001, thousands of volunteers have
championed hundreds of initiatives in all 15 towns and 6
villages of Sullivan County. These dedicated individuals
have come together as agents of change, working to
enhance the appearance of the place we call home while
growing community spirit and pride.
How you can participate
