Main Street America Affiliate Application

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Main Street America Affiliate™. Main Street America Affiliates are community organizations that have demonstrated a commitment to comprehensive revitalization and are on the pathway to achieving meaningful economic, social, physical and organizational improvements in their downtown or commercial districts. 

In states or regions that have an existing Coordinating Program, Affiliate communities are selected by their Coordinating Program. In circumstances where communities cannot work with their Coordinating Program, they may use this form to apply for Affiliate status directly from the National Main Street Center. These applications will be reviewed in consultation with the Coordinating Program, when applicable. Please note: receiving designation directly from NMSC does not entitle organizations to training or services from their Coordinating Program.  

In states or regions without an existing Coordinating Program, NMSC will independently review applications and designate Affiliate communities directly. 

This questionnaire will provide the baseline information required to process your application. Once you have submitted the questionnaire, please allow 2-3 weeks processing time. If accepted, you will receive sub-licensing and branding information and instructions on how to collect and submit reinvestment statistic data. 

If you have any questions, please contact us at mainstreet@savingplaces.org.
