Advocates for the east side.

We’re East Frederick Rising, a non-profit coalition of businesses, residents, forward-thinking leaders; and local, state, and government entities. We believe strongly in community – a healthy place where everyone holds genuine, mutual acceptance and respect for one another and has a strong commitment to where we live, work, and raise our children.

 As the eastside of Frederick continues to grow and change, we are committed to providing the leadership and stewardship necessary to advocate for the community we wish to become.
