There are several ways to support the Downtown Overland Park Partnership: by volunteering, donations, and even sponsoring events.

The Downtown Overland Park Partnership, 501c6 nonprofit organization, exists to convene partnerships and facilitate strategies that support economic growth, beautification, and social engagement in Downtown Overland Park.

Since December 1992, when the organization was incorporated, countless stakeholders have worked to bring Downtown Overland Park back to life. More than a 25+ years later, Downtown Overland Park’s charming past and small-town flavor have grown into a modern and vast array of nearly 300 locally owned and operated businesses. The area is known as a strong community, focused on great food, the arts, and friendly local businesses lining the walkable streets and close-knit buildings.

Why Support Local

Local Prosperity

It's the one-of-a-kind businesses that preserve your distinctive local character, aiding the local economy and community.

Environmental Sustainability

Local shops sustain vibrant, compact high streets and, with greater emphasis placed on seasonality and freshness, many local businesses make it a priority to source some or all their goods locally. This approach is better for the environment, reducing their carbon footprint.

Uniqueness

When it comes to gifts, lifestyle or clothing, local independents produce unique, never-before-seen-anywhere items, usually inspired by their surroundings. It's this intrinsic originality that makes these businesses and their offerings so special.

It's fun to Support Local!

Your local independents have a much more attractive offering than large chains, who are bound by strict regulations, pricing, procedures and monetary motives. The friendly faces behind each small business become friends, and 'shopping' local becomes your new 'normal'.

Employment

Supporting a local independent not only generates money for the local economy, but also aids employment rates. The more successful small businesses there are, the more jobs become available.
