Philly Gives is a philanthropic initiative launched by the Philadelphia Foundation, supported by a grant from the William Penn Foundation and in partnership with the Lenfest Institute for Journalism. Modeled on successful community-based media funds, Philly Gives spotlights and supports the nonprofit organizations that are essential to the well-being of Greater Philadelphia, while fostering a culture of giving that unites individuals, businesses, and foundations around common goals.

This year’s nonprofit grantees were chosen for their commitment to creating an equitable Philadelphia through their focus addressing urgent community needs through housing, food access, healthcare, youth development, and workforce support.
