We serve the vibrant Germantown section of Philadelphia. Germantown is known for its historical significance, cultural heritage, and history of activism.
Germantown United Community Development Corporation (referred to as Germantown United CDC or GU) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Our work at Germantown United CDC is twofold.
- To support all Germantown residents by providing access to programs and services that improve quality of life, with a focus on traditionally underserved populations and
- To drive revitalization efforts along our commercial corridors and support small businesses.
At GU, we provide referrals to community-based, city, and private resources and connect clients with assistance and services offered by government agencies and partner organizations. We also organize educational workshops, community meetings, and events that align with our mission.
Best of all, all services are offered at no-cost.
MISSION
