Bringing the diverse neighborhoods and communities of Germantown together has always been our mission. Our well-attended annual Community Forums highlight important topics and draw outstanding speakers from within Philadelphia as well as from without. Germantown United started the Fund for Germantown, a micro-grant program, so block associations, civic associations, and small businesses can get the kickstart they need for beautification and greening projects. Germantown United participates in many community activities, from Movie Nights in Vernon Park, Parking Day parklets on Chelten Avenue, annual Spring festivals on Maplewood Mall.

To kick off our campaign, we have a great community supporter, Howard Treatman, who has offered to match the first $2500 raised until October 29th!  We are so grateful for this generosity and know that Germantown is up to the challenge! As of today, we have raised a great amount toward this goal, leaving $842 to raise by the end of the month. We cannot let this opportunity pass us by. Please help us meet Howard’s challenge!

Our organization is growing, our funds are growing; however, many of our city grants are reimbursable- meaning that we need to build up our reserves to cover the time between payments. We need to raise $30,000 in the next 6 weeks to continue our great work through the rest of the year.

During this time, we’re going to share stories of our work, spotlighting how we are community, creative, entrepreneurial, and energized!  We’re going to share how We are Germantown– and how you are too!
