This by-invitation-only program provides support to organizations based in and providing services in the City of Philadelphia.

Each year, the Foundation selects between two and four Philadelphia-based organizations to support as key grantee partners with grants up to $25,000. The goal of the Philadelphia Fund is to support organizations that are implementing efficient and effective programs that can serve as models for other organizations.

Philadelphia-based organizations providing services in Montgomery, Chester, Delaware or Bucks Counties may be eligible to apply in the Core Grant Program. Contact the Foundation if you have questions about which grant program will be the best fit for your organization.

Invitations to apply online to the Philadelphia Fund will be issued by the Foundation by January 2012 to a small number of selected, eligible organizations. 

In 2012, Philadelphia Fund will focus on organizations providing services in the area of Housing and Homelessness in the City of Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia Fund has a separate application process from the Core Grant Program and Strategic Initiative Program. Grant decisions will be announced in March 2012.  

Invited Philadelphia Fund applicants may access the Foundation's online grant
system by clicking here. Because it is an invitation-only process, the application is protected by a secure access code, issued only to invitees. Unsolicited proposals to the Philadelphia Fund will not be considered.
