Membership
The Foggy Bottom Association is a 501c3 non-profit organization. We are classified as a civic social organization, allowing residents to join to support our mission. It is NOT a homeowner’s association. Membership in the Foggy Bottom Association helps strengthen our neighborhood, support local initiatives, and ensure that community voices are represented. By joining, you contribute to the continued vitality, preservation, and connectedness of Foggy Bottom.
How Your Membership Supports Us
Newsletter
The Association's exclusive online members-only newsletter (every other week) features articles on the history of the area, upcoming events, issues of community concern, and profiles on residents and gardening information. We encourage all to contribute to the newsletter -- write an article, take photos, and suggest topics for coverage.
Promote the Arts
The FBA and the FBA Defense and Improvement Corporation (The Trust) promote the arts by sponsoring the Foggy Bottom Outdoor Sculpture Biennial Exhibit.
Protect Our Environment
Work with us to protect our environment and public green spaces like Green’s Court Park, rock garden, New Hampshire Avenue Triangle Park, greenscapes and roses along 26th Street, and parklet at the 26th Street corner. Join the Garden Committee and help maintain the public spaces. The FBA has a close relationship with our DC arborist and several DC agencies to facilitate the removal of trash left in alleys and on the streets, and sidewalks in need of repair and treatment to minimize our rodent issues.
Social and Cultural Events
Includes the Ellie Becker Spring Party at 26th Street Park, neighborhood spring clean-outs, restaurant socials, and our Annual Holiday Party.
Membership Dues
Membership is $20 (tax-deductible) per year, or $30 for two years. Consider giving a gift of FBA membership to welcome your new neighbors. (Contributions over $20 are greatly appreciated and are also fully tax-deductible.)
