Friends of Fourth Ward

Friends of Fourth Ward Fourth Ward CLT, is the Fourth Ward Foundation 501(c)3, and our Fourth Ward neighborhood association. Fourth Ward CLT is located in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Fourth Ward CLT, is comprised of Fourth Ward Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)3, and our Fourth Ward Neighborhood Association. As all-volunteer organizations, both are dedicated to the development and preservation of Charlotte’s Uptown’s historic Fourth Ward. We have helped to create residential interest, investment, and increased property values. It is approximately 30 city blocks, this stately neighbor

hood is bordered by the Tryon Street business and entertainment district, the historical Elmwood Cemetery, and lively Trade Street. It is anchored by the beautiful Fourth Ward Park. Wandering through narrow tree-lined streets, visitors delight in seeing the grand old Victorians with gingerbread millwork, charming front porches, and courtyard gardens.
