Uptown is home to an active community of not-for-profit organizations, including arts organizations, social service providers, educational institutions and ethnic and cultural associations.  While many of these organizations are members of Business Partners, they have unique needs as not-for-profit businesses that Community Partners hopes to fulfill.  Community Partners works to support these organizations through a number of programs and initiatives, striving to:

• Promote the integration of social and economic efforts in Uptown;
• Act as a catalyst, building effective partnerships among businesses and community organizations; and
• Ensure that Uptown’s diverse population continues to enjoy access to housing and community-based goods and services.
