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.
