Project Update

August 2026 Update

Grace Commons at Eastmorland is now renting! Spread the word. You can find more information here.

Keep your eyes peeled on the building site. The incredible round window will be installed at the community center very soon. We are also hard at work planning our native landscaping. Donations of plants from Plant Dane and Xerxes Society will beautify our neighborhood and support local pollinators.

Every day brings us one step closer to opening our doors this October—and creating a welcoming space for neighbors to gather, connect, and build community.

One of the ways that neighbors can continue to help with the development of the community center is supporting the capital campaign. In just under a year, we have raised 62% ($937,443) of our $1.5 million with your community support. We are so grateful! If you haven’t had an opportunity to donate, you can do so at this link https://givebutter.com/3JDXRh or send a check to P.O. Box 8412, Madison, WI 53708. Another way to support the campaign that will help the community center thrive, is to connect us with community partners that might be interested in supporting the work we are doing in the Eastmorland neighborhood. An email to Marie Everett ([email protected]) is a good way to start that connection!

Thank you for going on this journey with the Eastmorland Community Center, neighbors!
