Fairmount Community Development Corporation works to build community, create a vibrant local economy, and help neighborhood residents and businesses thrive. We concentrate our work in the neighborhood bounded by the Girard and Fairmount commercial corridors, Fairmount Park, and Corinthian Avenue, while working to support the success of businesses across the Art Museum District including Brewerytown, Sharswood, Spring Garden, Francisville, and Fairmount.
The organization was formed in 1999 by a group of civic-minded neighbors. Although Fairmount CDC has remained a small organization, the diversity of the programming and accomplishments speak to the capacity, ambition and drive of the community.
