Contributing Partners program

Donation questions
Is my donation to Rochester Main Street tax-deductible?
Yes. Rochester Main Street is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, so contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Can recurring donations count toward partner recognition?
Yes - if your scheduled donations add up to a Contributing Partner level, we recognize you at that level. For example, a recurring donation of $84 or more per month reaches Bedrock Partner level, with the same recognition and benefits.
What does my donation fund?
Beautification projects, free community events, grant programs like the Sign & Facade Grant, historic preservation, and upkeep of completed projects such as the Wyndotte deck, murals, planters, and holiday lights.
