The Fund for Children
Thanks to contributions from the Philadelphia Eagles football and the
Philadelphia Phillies baseball teams, The Philadelphia Foundation established
the Fund for Children. The $2-million annual investment supports programs aimed
at improving the quality of life for the children of Philadelphia.
Discretionary Grantmaking
The Philadelphia Foundation works with a variety of
nonprofits to improve their organizational effectiveness through investment in
business and management practices that enable organizations to better meet their
missions. The Foundation provides general operating support to regional
nonprofit organizations serving vulnerable individuals and communities. To that
end, the foundation gives priority to nonprofits with operating budgets less
than 5 million dollars, serving those who are disconnected, disenfranchised,
disempowered and underrepresented.
