Fairmount Neighborhood Association (FNA)
Members of the Fairmount Neighborhood Association (FNA) are often asked:
“What is the FNA”? “Why is it important I join”? “What’s in it for me”?
WHAT IS THE FNA?
The purpose of the FNA is to promote better communication, neighborhood unity, neighborhood improvement, protect and promote the general welfare of residents, and act as an advocate on behalf of neighborhood interests.
To accomplish these objectives, the FNA relies on volunteers, its membership base, and it conducts fundraising efforts. Funds raised are used to help the neighborhood with:
- Infrastructure improvements such as adding and maintaining historic street lights and signs.
- Funding small ongoing (and sometimes) ad hoc needs of our neighborhood K-12 schools.
- Supporting the feral cat trap & release programs of our neighborhood pet rescues.
- Short and long term beautification such as the street flag and annual Re-Tree Fairmount program.
- Maintaining Fairmount Park and the Allen Green Space.
- Provide liability coverage for the Community Garden and neighborhood parades and events.
- Connectivity through monthly socials, holiday parties, events, parades, a softball team, and more.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT I JOIN?
The FNA is a 501c3. It works for us, by us. All of the good work and big fun created by the FNA for us, our families, and our whole happy hood is a powered ENTIRELY by our neighbor volunteers. All of this activity takes brains, hands, hearts, and soul! And we need YOURS!
Your membership cost supports the efforts of the FNA, even when you can’t personally volunteer. Your membership also allows you to have a voice in shaping the neighborhood to benefit of ALL our neighbors: renters, homeowners, individuals, families, new to the hood, here for years, and everyone inbetween.
