Grammercy Park
Neighborhood Collective

No fees, no dues, just solidarity.

We're a group of neighbors working to build a more connected, more engaged community in Omaha. Plant swaps, block parties, clean ups, housing advocacy: we go where the community leads. We primarily serve neighbors between Benson and Dundee, east of Country Club, but anyone is welcome.

What affects one of us affects us all.

Our First-Ever Design Contest

Our Collective grew out of plant swaps, potlucks, and people who care about their neighbors and the flora and fauna of this neighborhood. We want a design that captures that: something real, handmade-feeling, and alive that could live on a t-shirt and grow into a GPC logo.

What We Do

Projects & Advocacy

We work with neighbors and the city on issues that shape everyday life here: everything from broken streetlights to feeding our neighbors and advocating for better policies that govern our community.

Omaha TIF Tracker

Tax Increment Financing redirects increased property taxes from new development back to developers instead of schools, parks, and public services. An unintended consequence: homeowners near TIF projects often see their own taxes rise:

$748MRefunded to developers
$122MPaid into public financing

We're a DIY community group and we need you. Spread the word to your neighbors, pitch in your time or skills, show up, help us grow a stronger community. Every bit counts.

Become a Block Connector

GPC is non-hierarchical: we go where the community leads us. Block Connectors are how we make that real. You'd be our point person on your block: we send you updates, resources, and things worth sharing, and you get them to your neighbors however works best for you. A text thread, a flyer on a door, a conversation over the fence.

No meetings required. Just a neighbor who gives a damn.
