Support Lower Falls

The Newton Lower Falls Improvement Association is a 501(c)(3) organization run by volunteers, with a mission to advocate for the neighborly interests of our members, foster community spirit, and promote civic improvement. Our organization is non-partisan, non-political, and non-sectarian.

Donations to the LFIA are tax deductible

Donations can be made to the General Fund to support services and events offered free to the residents of Lower Falls (such as the Lower Falls Email Group, the Lowdown, holiday gatherings, etc.), or to one of the following Designated Funds:

  • The Beautification Committee works with the Newton Parks and Recreation Department to maintain the landscape of Hamilton Park and our adopted garden beds in the neighborhood, including the community garden and orchard.

  • Supports maintenance and expansion of the playground off Hamilton Park.

Donating a Community Memorial

To honor a person or persons who have a connection to the Lower Falls community, you may donate money to create a memorial. Memorials may be benches, trees, or landscaped plantings installed in Hamilton Park or other public spaces in Lower Falls.
