Cultivating Social and Economic Growth
Inspire Mishawaka was founded in February 2019 as an initiative of the Mishawaka Business Association. Inspire Mishawaka has since grown into its own, independent 501c3 nonprofit community organization. We are continually seeking partnerships with local businesses, nonprofit groups, residents, and visitors to our area.
Current partnerships include the City of Mishawaka, Mishawaka Parks Department, Mishawaka Historic Preservation Commission, Mishawaka Business Association, Visit South Bend/Mishawaka, Indiana Arts Commission, C2 Your Health Women’s Initiative Inc., Wealth in Motion Consulting LLC, and the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs in our pursuit toward Main Street America accreditation.
Rooted in Our History
From our churches, to the high school, and our downtown businesses, you can see the history and foundation of our community, founded in 1833 when three small towns merged to form the City of Mishawaka.
