ENVIRONMENT & COMMUNITIES
GEOGRAPHIC FOCUS



In our Environment and Communities program, we seek to strengthen Greater Philadelphia’s urban core, promote economic prosperity, and protect our region’s water quality and critical landscapes.

We make grants designed to:

  • Revitalize Philadelphia and Camden, with a focus on targeted neighborhoods.
  • Protect water quality in the Delaware and Schuylkill watersheds.
  • Conserve key elements of the Highlands region of Pennsylvania and New Jersey's Pinelands and Bayshore regions.
  • Advance regional prosperity by promoting policies that emphasize regional economic competitiveness, stable neighborhoods, accessible outdoor amenities, and sustainable food systems.

Please refer to the "What We Fund" and "Eligibility Guidelines" links for more information on our funding practices. We will also consider funding requests for projects that, although administered by an organization located outside this region, are expressly for the benefit of this region and its constituents. Occasionally, grants are made to national organizations for work performed by local affiliates.
