FAQS ABOUT GRANTS
Does the Philadelphia Foundation give grants to individuals?
No. The Philadelphia Foundation gives grants only to eligible nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations.
Do you support organizations that also provide services to South Jersey?
Yes, the Philadelphia Foundation supports organizations in Burlington and Camden Counties. This funding for South Jersey typically supports only organizations which have a special emphasis on serving the educational and development needs of pre-school and elementary age children in these communities and that do not have wide access to other sources of funding.
I submitted my grant application. When will I be contacted by someone at Philadelphia Foundation?
You can expect to hear from someone with the Philadelphia Foundation within a month of when we begin to process your application. If you have not heard from a staff person after four weeks, please call
(215) 563-6417 and ask to speak to someone on the program team. Applications cannot be considered until all the documents have been submitted.
