🌟 Culpeper Renaissance Inc. Celebrates $10,000 in Grant Distribution to Downtown Businesses and Program Expansion🌟🎉
CRI is thrilled to celebrate our incentive plan aimed at revitalizing our historic downtown corridor! The appearance of our downtown buildings is crucial for the economic vitality of Culpeper, and since launching the CRI Culpeper Downtown Façade, Interior, Sign and Awning Grant Program in 2014, we’ve distributed an amazing $55,998 in grants to local business and property owners! 🏙️💰
This program supports everything from minor repairs to full renovations, fostering growth and sustainable progress in our community. As our Board President Jennifer Hoehna says, “CRI is proud to support retailers’ efforts to improve their image as Culpeper continues to grow and flourish as a great destination town.” 🌱💖
In the fiscal year ending in 2025, we distributed $10,000 in grants to eight fantastic downtown businesses: Cloverleaf Nook, Final Boss, Haute to Trot, JRS Variety Store, Raven’s Nest Coffee House, The Refinery, Seven On Davis and VINOSITY! 🙌✨
Jessica Jenkins, our Executive Director, expressed her excitement: “I’m thrilled to see this grant program grow. I look forward to seeing more merchants and building owners take advantage of this grant opportunity.” 🌟👏
Starting July 1, 2025, we’re increasing our annual budget to $15,000! Grants can cover up to 50% of qualified improvement projects for façades, interiors, signage, and awnings. This means more opportunities for our amazing downtown businesses to shine! 💼

What an incredible example of our community coming together! We’re grateful to Zandra's Taqueria for their generosity and to everyone who showed their support, including those who stopped by their fundraiser at Culpeper Downtown 3rd Thursday Summer Concert. We’re proud to have Zandra’s Taqueria as part of our Culpeper Downtown community and grateful for the first responders, volunteers, and community members who continue to support one another. ❤️Giving back to those who give so much. ❤️

At Zandra's Taqueria, we're incredibly proud to support the men and women who serve and protect our community every day.

Thanks to the amazing support from everyone who purchased Walking Tacos at our Culpeper Third Thursday Fundraiser, along with the incredible generosity shown through our GoFundMe campaign, we were honored to donate $3,750.00 to benefit the Culpeper County Volunteer Fire & Rescue Association and The Bridge Community Church Canteen Unit!

In addition, thanks to the KINDNESS of the Linton Hall School community, we were also able to donate more than $400 in gift cards to support these outstanding organizations.

Following the devastating May 30th fire at our Culpeper restaurant, these first responders and volunteers were there for us when we needed them most. Their compassion, dedication, and selfless service will never be forgotten.

This donation is our way of saying THANK YOU! We hope it helps these incredible organizations continue the important work they do for so many others, just as they helped us during one of our most difficult moments.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who donated, attended our fundraiser, and supported our GoFundMe. Because of your generosity, we were able to turn a difficult chapter into an opportunity to give back.

We are forever grateful. ❤️🇺🇸
