The Philadelphia Foundation

Since 1918, The Philadelphia Foundation has linked those with financial resources to those who serve societal needs. It is the region’s oldest and largest community foundation, serving Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties.

By growing the 800 funds established by its donors and distributing about $20 million annually in grants and scholarships to effective nonprofit organizations, The Philadelphia Foundation improves Southeastern Pennsylvania’s quality of life.

The Foundation helps build healthy communities, strengthen children and families, advance economic opportunities and enhance culture and recreation.

Unless otherwise indicated, all contributions will be directed to the Foundation’s Basic Human Needs Fund, which supports nonprofit organizations that fulfill basic human needs including food, clothing and shelter.
