Mission
“Bridging the Gap Until the Best Resource is Connected”
The Friends of the Neighborhood Navigators Sun Prairie will work:
to maintain an association of persons interested in the advancement of the Sun Prairie Neighborhood Navigators program.

to receive and encourage gifts, endowments, and bequests to the Sun Prairie Neighborhood Navigators program.
Navigators helping Neighbors
Sometimes our neighbors have unexpected situations that create a need for immediate assistance. As a community, during those times of duress, we want to lift each other up by providing relief and support. Any neighbor facing an immediate need can connect with a Sun Prairie Neighborhood Navigator and request help. Friends of the Neighborhood Navigators (FNN), a non-profit (501c3) organization, financially supports the Neighborhood Navigators to be able to provide immediate assistance, while strengthening our neighborhoods.
Where donations help our community
Immediate Needs Fund
The Immediate Needs Fund assists neighbors experiencing an urgent need by providing resource support until they are connected to other local resources. Donations will assist with providing temporary food, gas, household and other items for neighbors in need until a resource provider is able to assess and address needs.
Mentorship Program - Growing Strong Neighborhoods
The Friends financial support allows the Neighborhood Navigators to organize community service events and social gatherings, to increase social connectedness, build trust, and strengthen our neighborhoods. Donations provide supplies for neighborhood clean-up and community building events.
Increase our Impact
As the City of Sun Prairie continues to grow, the number of immediate needs increases. Donations will also be used to support efforts in community awareness to share our mission and successes with our neighbors in our community.
