Our Story
Every twinkling holiday light, every summer concert that fills downtown with music, every public art project that transforms our spaces - these moments of magic don't just happen. They're created by Mainspring of Ephrata, your community catalyst for positive change.
Last year alone, our volunteers dedicated nearly 2,000 hours to making Ephrata shine brighter. From transforming the Franklin Street parking lot into a stunning public art space to bringing over 1,000 people downtown for our New Year's Eve celebration, we're building the vibrant community you want to call home.
But we're more than just events. We're your partner in economic growth, helping businesses thrive through our Revolving Loan Fund. We're your advocate for historic preservation, proudly carrying our new Main Street America accreditation. We're your connection to public art, green spaces, and community gathering spots like the Ephrata Unleashed Dog Park.
As a non-profit organization, we rely entirely on community donations, volunteer support, and grants to make our work possible. Your donation to Mainspring during Extra Give helps us continue this vital work. Whether it's $5 or $500, every dollar goes directly toward growing our economy and building our community. Together, we can make Ephrata even more unexpected, even more vibrant, and even more extraordinary.
