Thanks to you, our community comes alive with FREE events like the Fairmount Arts Crawl and Girard Street Festival, and continues to grow into a cleaner, safer, more welcoming, and equitable place to call home.
This year, your investment will shape the future of our neighborhood in 2025. Here’s how you can make a lasting impact:
$5,000 funds 25 local business leaders to complete our entrepreneur training class.
$10,000 adds a stage and local musicians to our spring festivals.
$15,000 creates a fund to support businesses getting off their feet.
$20,000 produces another season of Sidewalk Socials, with music and vendors on summer evenings.
$25,000 means new tree plantings and improvements to better connect our neighborhoods with Lemon Hill and Fairmount Park.
Each threshold we reach makes a bigger impact—when we hit $25,000, we’ll have the resources to accomplish everything on this list!
