2025 Fair City Challenge – Mar 28

Posted by Economy League of Greater Philadelphia on March 18, 2025

The Fair City Challenge, led by the Economy League, seeks community-driven solutions to make our neighborhoods more equitable and inclusive and to help close Philadelphia’s deep racial wealth gap. The Fair City Challenge aims to identify and support community-based social entrepreneurs with great ideas for revaluing property in historically disinvested Philadelphia neighborhoods – while preventing displacement.

All Challenge finalists will win $10,000 and entry into an accelerator to develop a business plan to advance their idea. The Grand Prize winner will earn a $50,000 investment.

Application closes: Friday March 28, 11:59 PM

We are here to support you however we can! We will be hosting Office Hours virtually weekly until applications close. If any part of this application is confusing or you just need some assistance, feel free to join our Zoom Office Hours throughout the application period.
